This all reeks of BS. I'm nearly sure that they look at your fall grades (why wouldn't they? "Let's disregard this extra information so that we can make a less informed decision"?). Also, I'm calling BS on the points system. Maybe that was the case before UCLA switched to holistic admissions, but that strikes me as a UCSD-ish thing.

Giving points is their way of looking at your application holistically. My friend actually said the rep used the word holistically.

Maybe they got the two systems mixed up.

Hmm...

my stat professor asked how a ucla rep decide whehter one is admitted or not. the rep told him that they use multivariable linear regression or something like that. And the people who exceed certain points will get admitted.

I sent an email to UCLA about this whole deal with whether or not they see/consider fall grades:

"Fall grades are considered in the admissions decision. Thank you for your interest in UCLA!

alansda can you give me ucla's email address plz?

I'm really stressing...
I had sent them an update by email bc the transfer update site was closed. It concerns adding a pre-req so that I could be done this Spring and thusly have more chances of being admitted to my impacted major. They sent me an automated repsonse but I have NO clue if the Comm. Studies dept. got it or even considered this factor in my decision.

If I get rejected, I'll know why bc it's this big misunderstanding, and could appeal and probably get in but I want the answer to be yes right off and live in peace!

Has anyone heard about people being accepted to UCLA yet? I was told by our counseling center staff that UCLA started Monday with admissions but only for a couple of students. I know a girl that in our student government who already got accepted to UCLA but she was given a full ride, I think she had several hook ups.

@alansda

Think for a second, why would UCLA e-mail you a response saying that don't see or consider your fall grades even if they didn't?
