<p>So I heard UCLA is not going to pick any instate from the waitlist… man, hope this is not true!!</p>

<p>IVY COACH EXCLUSIVE: UCLA will not be going to their waitlist this year if you’re a resident of the state of California, according to our sources. Students from other states and countries on the waitlist may still have a shot. From this year’s applicant pool to the University of California – Los Angeles, 16,177 students earned admission. This figure included 9,539 residents of the California Republic. Of these 9,539 Californian students, 31% would be the first in their families to graduate from a four-year university and 31% also are from low-income families, according to “UCLA Newsroom.”</p>

<p>Of the 80,497 students who applied to UCLA, about 20% ended up getting in. Of those admitted, 6,638 students hail from a state other than California or hail from another country. Why so many students from other states and countries, you ask? The bottom line. Students from other states and countries pay the full tuition. The UC system needs the money.</p>

<p>Some students were placed on the UCLA waitlist but we’ll be the first to report publicly that UCLA will not be going to their waitlist this year for California residents, based on what we’ve heard from our sources. That’s right — if you’re from California, were placed on the UCLA waitlist, and chose to remain on it, you should know that the university to our knowledge will not be able to offer you admission. If you got your hopes up that maybe UCLA would go to their waitlist and offer you a spot, we’re sorry to be the ones to break the news to you that this won’t be the case this year. If you’re a California resident that is.</p>

<p>UCLA should probably put out a statement that they won’t be going to their waitlist this year for residents of their own state. It’ll help high school seniors solidify their college plans. No sense offering hope when no such hope should exist. That’s our feeling on the matter. Do you agree? Let us know your thoughts by posting below! And do you think it’s unfair that they still might go to their waitlist for out-of-staters and international applicants? Let us know your feelings on that too!</p>

<p>^ wow. Paying our taxes for no reason. Dissappointing to say the least.</p>

63

<p>^Horrible, if true. I’m in-state and UCLA is my dream school. It’s unfortunate in-state students won’t even get a chance just because they are charged less tuition.</p>

64

<p>That can’t be… pretty sure that would violate some law along the way.</p>

65

<p>^ Is that real? o____O</p>

66

<p>I think it might be true; my mom just told me she also read about this in an article in the newspaper a few days ago. And would it really be violating some sort of law? As long as UCLA doesn’t release some official statement stating this, how would anyone even know if they admitted any in-state students? UCLA could just claim that they admitted a few and you would have no way of finding out if that was true.</p>

67

<p>I’d like to clarify what this article is saying and how the wait list REALLY works without going into too much detail.</p>

<p>Firstly, this article states NO concrete facts and has absolutely NO reasoning as to why this is true other than “their sources” and saying that the majority of acceptances are IS. TAKE THIS WITH A GRAIN OF SALT PEOPLE! The school has a majority of IS applications and thus offers more acceptances to IS students. However, NOT ALL STUDENTS ATTEND UCLA! Many, especially IS, apply to UCLA as a back up school or just to see if they get in since it’s ranked so high. At my school we had nine get in and none are going to attend. That’s a 0% yield from one of the top 200 schools in the nation, not to mention IS. Last year, UCLA took a majority of instaters off the list because they had too many OOS and had to hit their “target” ratio of IS and OOS. I’m going to go on a whim and predict that the same will happen this year based on last year’s, but I cannot be 100% sure of that.</p>

<p>This year, since none of the numbers are clear until May, absolutely NOBODY knows if they’ll pull any off from either group other than those inside the admissions office. UCLA will know for sure on May 2 after receiving all their SIRs from students. In addition, UCLA cannot legally discriminate against IS by taking more OOS for their money such as the way this article is saying. UCLA must meet a specific quota by law because they have to FAVOR INSTATE! It is a CA public school after all.</p>

<p>Lastly, they recently updated the wait list decision letter in bold, red letters stating that “note that not all wait list decisions have been made” yet. This should speak volumes. Why go through all the effort to change about 3,000 portals(estimate based off the 2,000 who opted in last year on the WL), both IS and OOS? Yet again, just my prediction, but I believe we will see both groups get pulled off the list this year!</p>

<p>In the end, please don’t take articles like the one above seriously, because honestly: at this point in time, nobody has the answers.</p>

<p>[UCLA</a> admits more than 16,000 exceptional students for its fall 2013 freshman class / UCLA Newsroom](<a href=“http://newsroom.ucla.edu/portal/ucla/ucla-admits-more-than-16-000-exceptional-245294.aspx]UCLA”>UCLA admits more than 16,000 exceptional students for its fall 2013 freshman class | UCLA)
In an effort to maintain the University of California’s commitment to state residents, UCLA increased its in-state enrollment target for this fall to 4,100 students, up 100 from last year. The enrollment target for non-residentcs will remain at approximately 1,600 students.</p>

69

<p>You all do know that we know nothing about this right now.
We know UCLA needs to meet the 4,100 in state applicant quota.
We know UCLA needs to meet the 1,600 out of state applicant quota.
And we know that roughly 16,000 were offered admission.</p>

<p>Do we know how many people even opted into the waitlist? What about the ratio of in-state and out-of-state applicants who already SIR’ed?</p>

<p>I wouldn’t worry. Time will tell, I just hope I find out before May 1st. Considering it’s rolling admissions and I opted in on the day the waitlist went up, I figure I’ll find out quickly. I just hope it’s before I send away my money to another school.</p>

<p>@wdemasters02 you will not find out before May 1st so SIR to another school
&&& When you opt into the wait list has no bearing on your UCLA WL decision because they give time for us to write extra information and want quality, not rushed application materials. Last year they took some who opted in on the last day possible and on the first… so don’t expect to hear back first just because you turned it in as soon as you saw it. It’ll be any day in May, hang in there :)</p>

71

<p>This anxiety is killing me!!! I would love nothing more than to go there instead of UCI :(</p>

72

<p>Anyone else receive an email from UCLA Financial Aid Office around April 17th asking to fill out a dependent verification form? I’m instate if that matters…</p>

73

<p>It probably doesn’t mean anything since it was only a few days after the deadline to opt in. And nobody else has posted anything like it, it’s probably just for your application. Not much else to say about it.</p>

74

<p>Lilly9,</p>

<p>Yeah, I’m thinking it doesn’t mean much but I was just curious because I sent it back a while ago over email, and I did not get any confirmation that they received it =/ Guess I’ll have to phone then tomorrow then =p</p>

<p>“Most campuses will participate, although UCLA has determined that the use of a waiting list, as an enrollment management tool, is not necessary at this time.” :confused: </p>

<p>does this mean this year or just at this moment </p>

<p>flimmy: The first year that the UC’s used waitlists (I think it was 2 years ago), UCLA did not use it, but then their admitted class was huge, so they utilized it last year. So I feel like that information is from a couple years ago.</p>

77

<p>I stand corrected everyone! I thought that by opting into the waitlist quickly, I would hear back quickly as well. False. </p>

<p>Just talked to admissions, he said that rolling admissions is when students are informed they are off the waitlist when spots come available.</p>

<p>He also said undecided/undeclared majors have no affect on waitlist results (i.e., if an engineering major opts out of UCLA’s admission, it doesn’t mean that just an enginnering major waitlisted applicant will be put in his/her place.)</p>

78

<p>That article is old, it was originally written before UCLA had a wait list. Obviously, when the school updated that page(as it said it was on March 27,2013) they didn’t know or bother to edit the UCLA wait list sentence. Don’t worry; why would UCLA have one again if they thought it wasn’t necessary? Obviously they liked it last year so they’ll more than likely pull this year. Hopefully, that is.</p>

<p>I got in!!! :o</p>
