this wait has been slowly killing my summer. I need to go on a vacation to forget about this. also, i do have a myucla account so i’ll keep u guys posted if anything changes (since it seems like myucla gives out decision the day b4 )
Hello, thought I would chime in with my experience. There is something funny going on with admissions this year, it seems, and it appears to be related to budget issues. That being said, I do think there is more ‘hope’ for wait listed students this year than in previous years. As for me, I received an email from admissions telling me to check the decision site on June 3, 2015 @ 0800. I had been accepted, much to my surprise. I did not have the strongest academic record, however, a majority of my schooling was completed while serving in the Marine Corps and traveling the world. I also have considerable professional experience including running my own small business for short time. For what its worth, it does seem that UCLA values real life experience and proven leadership: for those who may not be GPA superstars. I do not agree with the schools methods of leaving so many students in limbo (and breaking their own deadlines) but I am grateful to attend such an institution.
Where ever you attend, you’ll get out of it what you put into it. It’s the individual that is important, not the institution. Good luck every one and enjoy your summer.
EDIT: thanks lindyk8
I assume you meant June 3? Congrats!
Just a question: do they send you an email or alert you via portal if you don’t make it? Or do they only alert the winners? I know with appeals sometimes it’s if you don’t hear from us you didn’t get it…
Hey dookiemiles, thanks for sharing that. What major did you apply for?
congrats! i do hope i get admitted after the next wave…
I’m not getting my hopes up, just want my rejection so I can move on.
I spoke with the one of the staff in my major (music) and she said all wait list decisions had already been made. The final deadline for all decisions will be June 15th. Good luck everybody!
@jazzgtr1 decisions for all waitlisted students had been made or decisions for students in the music major?
@Jazzgtr1 And the decisions have been released already?
@fncrane will u be applying again next year or are you unable to since you’ll become a junior?
no i can’t, i’ll have too many units
Ahh icic. I’m going to stay at my cc for another year (3rd year) and 're apply and actually finish all the pre reqs for my alt major since I’m in tAP
@fncrane pretty sure she meant just the music majors. Not sure for the other majors. I think the school wide deadline is the 15th though.
@MartinSJ that was the implication. She said she’s not sure if they’ll review the list again. She sounded doubtful to me.
so it seems like rejections/admissions letters are mixed in whenever they post it. so we all have hope guys!
@trnsfrstdnt your posts always make me smile. I’ve had little to no hope about this whole waitlist process, but I find your constant upbeat hopefulness really endearing. Best of luck to you ~ I hope something works out 
@fncrane aw thanks so much! i try to stay positive/realistic since i know many of you are going through the roller coaster emotions that i’m going through. also i was quite sad for a while this morning until i saw that there were rejections mixed in with the decisions letters. but yes, best of luck to both of us. since we want this so much, im sure ucla can see that.
have a feeling tmrws the day!
wouldn’t it be the 6th (saturday)? since the most recent (or first?) wave was on the 3rd and they need 3 days to respond
@trnsfrstdnt Yea that makes sense. Btw how’d you know that there were rejections mixed in with the decisions letters??
i read on UCLA wait-list thread for class of 2019~ @MartinSJ
