UCLA Transfer Waitlist Fall 2017

oh my god if they did then i totally did this to myself…im in the honors program and chancellors honors list but didn’t put that on my application! i found out about chancellors after i submitted and i didn’t put honors program b/c i thought they would account my honors classes…should i include this in my waitlist statement?

@juliamarie15 i dont think it matters whether u put it now or not. As I mentioned, if there’s a spot open, they will review your UC application, and since you didn’t put it there, idk if they’re going to conisder it! But, just probably mention it on ur statement so they have an idea that you weren’t able to put it on the uc app!
What’s your major btw?

Any Life Science MAJORS who got waitlisted?! (E.g. Biology, Micro, MCDB, Physio, Psychobio, and Neuro?)

does the essay matter? or only grades of our fall semester? If I have a really good essay, does that increase my chance of getting admitted from the waitlist?

@Allhalekhaleesi im an anthro ba major! i have 3.7 and 4.0 major prereqs completed :frowning:

i was talking to someone from my CCC and he was admitted for econ but going to Haas! so one spot is open! but he told me at my specific CCC, a looooot of kids who thought they had a chance were waitlisted and rejected. Apparently a lot more rejections than waitlist offers…

Any fellow poli sci majors waitlisted?

i feel like there aren’t too many of us…but heads up i found out that they’re over enrolled for engineering freshmen, so definitely limited spots for transfers!

Hey, i am in the same major actuarial science. I got offer from UCSB and UCSD. I am also on the waitlist. I hope we can get off the waitlist. Good Luck!!

So are there any engineering majors who got wait-listed?!! No one has ever posted here that he/she is an engineering major so far.

@Allhalekhaleesi I am! Aerospace Engineering, GPA =3.90 (probably my downfall here), IGETC = they told me not to, but I guess I should have :confused:

@juliamarie15 Really. Well dang. I’m pretty much screwed then.

does the essay matter guys? i am not sure if i have to write all 7000

@juliamarie15 Hi there! I hope you don’t mind me asking, but would you happen to know what number your cousin was on the waitlist? I’m currently on the waitlist for the nursing school :smiley:

Heyo, Physics waitlist here!

My stats aren’t anything special. Mostly A grads in important stuff like Physics and Math, along with a buttload of computer science with. But overall GPA about 3.4

I think the only thing they like is that I’ve taken upper division work in Quantum Mechanics and Optics with an As, plus upper division math, showing I can do actually hard work. This semester is also filled with upper division physics.

I feel my only shot at getting in is my research project that may get published. I’ll mention that in the essay.

Side note, does anyone think that the transfer enroll rate of the major makes a difference in waitlist admission? Some have enroll rates of like 80% but others have 30%. Would a low enroll rate correspond to higher waitlist admittance?

@sofie.bez she was number 7 or 8! she told me she called everyday to ask so persistence is key!!

I was also waitlisted. Major: Financial Actuarial Math | Gpa:3.7

Good luck to everyone!

I guess there aren’t a lot of waitlist applicants? This forum has been dead for a couple of days now

@Allhalekhaleesi I wondered the same thing. Of course, there are the people who aren’t on CC, but I didn’t notice a lot of people from the other ucla 2017 transfer thread mention they were waitlisted either.

Hopefully that’s good news for us…
