UCLA Waitlists 2016

Same here.
Major: Economics
GPA:3.95
ECs: Pretty Strong
Personal Statement: 9 out of 10
Prerequisite: Missing a transferable English class but got good grade in winter quarter
Applied: UCB, UCLA, UCSB, ICSD, UCD
Admitted: UCSD, UCSB, UCD
Waitlisted: UCLA
Pending: UCB
Rejected: None

I don’t know how much possibility that I can get off the waitlist. Is it still possible to get in?

It is possible, I suppose. Does UCLA admit by spots remaining per major?

You can go back and edit it before May 15th 11:45pm

@AndyCandy They said they don’t (but past trends suggest otherwise).

@mikuru Ok, I see. Thanks. Will those with TAP still be given priority and/or considered for their alternate major? I am not sure how the process works exactly.

GPA- 4.2
450+ hours community service
Varsity softball captain
2 jobs
Numerous other extracurriculars
Major: physiological science (super impacted)
In state.
I talked to a UCLA admissions officer, and she said the acceptance rate off the waitlist is very low. Acceptance depends on whether people that applied and got accepted to the same major choose not to go to UCLA. :frowning:
So sad, my dream school…

@paisleya I don’t understand why they waitlist so many people and only a couple of them will get accepted :frowning: So we have to wait another month to find out the results.

I hope a bunch of people get taken in by Berkeley, SD and other campuses so that leaves space for us :frowning:

Don’t be discouraged if you don’t get in. Even though ucla is nice, uci or ucsd are good as well. What matters is what you do at the school. I’m probably assure that I won’t get in, but my focus is towards the school I sir to. If I get accepted off the wait list that’s awesome, but I’m happy that I’m going to another college to finish my undergraduate degree.

I got into USC, how ironic, but too bad I can’t afford it.Trojans like me better than Bruins, turns out :confused:

I got accepted to Cal State. Gonna be a looooong wait until we find out if UCLA accepted us also ‘-’

Does anyone wanna share what they put in their statement? I just updated my grades and whatnot

I wrote a little bit. We were allowed 7000 characters so why not…

What did you guys write about? I updated my current activities, but idk what else will help us out. Also, we might be waiting all the way till July for a decision:/

July…

I think if current activities are updated that is about as much as we can do at this point.

my statement is a bit long, do you guys think thats okay? i kinda went on and on about why ucla is so great, but idk if it’s completely useless

@hellwafull That should be fine since you’re emphasizing that you know about the college well and show interest that way

I called the admissions office to ask if there were any notes on my application and she said no but that she would advise me to write a heart felt paragraph on why I wanted to go to UCLA so I just wrote about why I think I would fit into their community etc

Also, did you guys mention any other schools you got into? I mentioned a few just to show that I still waited for UCLA even if i had choices but idk how wise that is

As of a couple of minutes ago, they will start admitting off the waitlist on a rolling basis. fingers crossed!
