I’m still skeptical about the decisions coming out on a saturday before the deadline to SIR but I believe them in they say they got in
@jindaltanya and @scourne07 thank you, guys!
@Prince111111 ACT 31, SAT 1940, I’m not 100% sure about my UC GPA, but I think it’s 4.1-4.3. All A’s for senior year and have a total of 5 AP classes (3 junior year and 2 senior year).
Hey guys, I had a question and would be really thankful if any of you had any info about this. I know the ucs admit off of the waitlist by looking at how many spaces are open in your major/department. But do they also look at how many people from your high school are enrolling to the school? Last year only about 9 people from my high school decided to attend ucla but this year about 15 are going to attend. Would that lower my chances of getting off the waitlist?
Someone in state said they got in through the wait list got the UCLA class of 2020 page.
@Prince111111 i saw that too
I’m getting so anxious
I want to get in so badly
was it real?
@spykrify well we have no real way of knowing if he lied or not lol
I’m going to have a heart attack…
@loxiel same buddy
Sucks seeing so many less qualified people getting in when I didn’t just bc I applied engineering. Hoping to get off but it doesn’t seem likely. In case anyone is wondering, because I rarely actually check my notifications on this:
GPA: 4.0 unweighted , UC is 5.0 (?? Idk how that’s possible, but that’s what my transcript says)
SAT (my weakest part of my application): 2160
In HS I’ve taken about hardest classes available (including BC calc as a junior), turning out to be 9 AP classes, played varsity soccer and volleyball, was in the NHS, physics Olympics team, active in my Christian community (youth group + younglife + church band).
I wrote about 5000 characters in the additional info outlining my internship this year, why that makes me a good candidate, why that makes UCLA a great school for me, and what I plan to do at UCLA (specific clubs and general research stuff). Also, I included some stuff about current clubs and stuff but that was brief, and I included grade updates (still straight A’s through 3rd quarter).
Sorry to be the Debbie downer here, but it sucks I got rejected from LA and Berkeley while my friends who are significantly less impressive got into both.
Any other engineering majors here share my struggle? Also, i don’t want to sound pretentious and mean. I’m happy for guys who got in, there’s just a certain amount of jealousy that kicks in, ya know?
@BLawls tbh same but not really as qualified as you. 4.5 GPA , 2230 SAT 35 ACT 800 Math 2 750 Bio
Tons of EC: including Eagle Scout and 2 internships
Meanwhile someone with a 4.1 and a 1900 SAT score gets in for like Bio or something.
@Prince111111 @jindaltanya would one of you guys mind posting the link to the page where the person said this? Thanks!
@Prince111111 @BLawls if it makes you feel any better, I didn’t even apply for a difficult major (Undeclared L&S) and I still got waitlisted! Lol :,( but i’ll admit my stats definitely aren’t nearly impressive as yours either (4.3 UC GPA, 2120 SAT, 32 ACT)
@BLawls My stats are pretty okay too, 4.2 GPA, 2150 SAT, and 700 SAT ll Literature! I got waitlisted for Biology…
I completely understand where you’re coming from! (it makes me feel a little crummy when my friends talk about their acceptances to UCLA or Berkeley, but I’m happy for them.)
@BLawls I feel you! 4.0 UW/4.7 W (but by my school’s system, idk my UC GPA) 2260 SAT, 790 Math 2, 740 Physics (maybe that phsics score was my weak spot?) lots of ECs, church volunteering, etc. I mean I love everyone on the waitlist and believe that everyone who gets in deserves it but there’s still a part of me that thinks that I deserve to get in too, ya feel?? And anyways, ITS ONLY THE FIRST DAY and there’s still the chance it’s only for OOS assuming the one poster on the fb page is fake, mistaken, or lying.
And maybe they’re releasing by major since the people who got in on this thread (sorry I forgot your usernames and I’m feeling too lazy right now to check haha) got in for science majors.
@effyeahjen Again with the optimism HAHAHHAhahHAHA
I’m a science major
I want to get in
I deserve to get in
Please admit me UCLA
@jindaltanya Same. Except I put undeclared. Maybe I should’ve actually chosen a major :-?
But i did choose a major @imvegetarian2016
I hope we both get in!
