URSA Consensus......

Transfer Students UC Transfers

<p>So what’s the consensus?</p>

<p>Sweetnezz, you said you called them right, and they said that the FA only shows up for admitted students?</p>

<p>(I’m worried because everyone’s under the impression that I’m already in . . . it’s gonna suck if I’m not.)</p>

42

<p>The problem is that all y’all people got your UCLA logon ID’s by applying as admitted students.</p>

<p>…correct?</p>

43

<p>^ No, we got our UCLA logon ID by logging in on this site: <a href=“https://www.admissions.ucla.edu/decision/Login.aspx[/url]”>https://www.admissions.ucla.edu/decision/Login.aspx&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>It says your ID at the top right hand corner.</p>

<p>And anyway, obviously if we weren’t admitted, our FA wouldn’t update.</p>

<p>adinek: i called ucla’s financial office and asked them if i could confirm that they had receieved my fafsa, she asked me what my ucla ID number was and then if i was accepted, i said no and she said then we havn’t processed it yet. basically, they get the list of admitted students day by day, input the info. into the computer and confirm your fafsa and that is why it is a guarantee of acceptance. it’s on a rolling basis all the way up to the day decisions are released which is why some of us see it and some of us don’t even though we have good enough GPA’s and all that jazz. it’s something that will happen eventually for those that have good enough stats it’s just a matter of waiting it out just as one would be waiting rolling decisions at UCSD. this is what i believe and i’m stickin to it :-)</p>

<p>every single person who applied has a UCLA ID, it is by clicking “new student” that you are able to see your official URSA page which will show your financial aid profile when deemed neccessary.</p>

45

<p>Seeing your FA info in URSA means you’re accepted. Just look at transfer decisions last year, or freshman decisions this year.</p>

46

<p>seriously… aidnek get over it. if your so worried then just wait till official decisions come out.</p>

47

<p>It the UCLA logon ID supposed to be a 9-digit number?</p>

<p>I entered my UCLA ID when trying go reset my password, and it said it was an invalid username. “Username” implies it’s not supposed to be numerical, but a number is all I found in the top-right corner.</p>

48

<p>yes it’s the 9 digit number. make sure you take out the dashes otherwise it won’t work if you just copy and paste it regularly.</p>

49

<p>^ “It appears that you are attempting to sign in with your 9 digit UID. UID is no longer a valid form of sign in credential. Instead, please use your UCLA Logon ID/password (also known as the Bruin Online Logon ID) to login.”</p>

<p>Uh…</p>

<p>Did you make a UC Logon name?</p>

51

<p>I think it is so interesting how fervently the people on this forum are debating. However, I have to side with the people who believe that financial aid is a good indicator of acceptance. </p>

<p>Reasons:

  1. There is overwhelming historical data. This trick worked last year, and this year for freshman.
  2. Anecdotal evidence, such as the multiple people who called financial aid and other offices and had responses like: "we wouldn’t mess with financial aid unless you were accepted.
  3. Realistically: why would they update some people’s financial aid, but not others, just so they could in the end deny some of those people and not accept others. I would sure hope one of the top universities in the world would have a better system than that.</p>

<p>Note: I have a motivation to believe this theory, as I can see the financial aid. However, I don’t think this fact has influenced my belief in the theory. For, if anything, I would be against the theory, because I don’t want to get let down. It has been the overwhelming evidence that has even allowed me to give some credit to the idea.</p>

<p>My one criticism of this theory is that it baffles me that UCLA wouldn’t take measures to prevent this sort of admissions peeking. It would seem that they would pick up on it.</p>

52

<p>ooooh i know what you did, you made a username and password didn’t you, like with your first initial and last name? if that’s the case you need to log in with that.</p>

53

<p>

No. In order to make a UC logon name, do I have to do it via this page?</p>

<p><a href=“https://logon.ucla.edu/activate.php?izhost=pisis&izrdata=izappid%3Dedu.ucla.ais.ursa%26izpdata%3D[/url]”>https://logon.ucla.edu/activate.php?izhost=pisis&izrdata=izappid%3Dedu.ucla.ais.ursa%26izpdata%3D&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

54

<p>yes! and do it as a new student with your ucla 9 digit ID</p>

55

<p>Guys I am kind of nervous. I can see my FA summary and tracking but I am a bio major and missing a pre req of the second bio class. I did one bio class, i did the one year of calc (plus calc 3 right now) the year of general chem, and am in the first semester o chem and lab right now. Although my GPA is 3.85 and IGETC certified.</p>

56

<p>cubman why are you nervous seeing the FA summary? your in the ballpark. Right now, we’re all just hoping for those who can’t see their FA to see it next week. all of us who can see it, we are practically in so don’t worry. congratulations!</p>

57

<p>Thanks chesser I was just nervous because that one pre req is not done but I am super stoked to see the FA summary. Congrats to you as well!</p>

58

<p>hmm… wonder why. bio 2 is a minimum requirement to be considered for the major :expressionless:
what CC are you from?</p>

59

<p>^ Good question I also want to know. I also received the FA summary, but I’m starting to doubt myself. I’ll be mortified next week if I don’t get in. sigh*…</p>
