2011 UCLA Transfers: The Central Thread for Discussion and Decisions

<p>@Nick, of course you are… They deal with the straight forward people first. My friend has a crazy high GPA in women’s studies. She JUST got into UCR because she’s a legal green card student from south Africa. People with the more obscure applications are obviously going to be handled last.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Recall that one person on here who got accepted last year did not even have their finanical aid info updated till the day after she was admitted.</p>

<p>So, as I’ve said earlier, while having this info visible might be a positive sign, NOT seeing means absolutely nothing and no cause for concern AT ALL. </p>

<p>It might be random, alphabetical or some other method they use to allocate the files. Personally, I think they shuffle the files and then assign a bunch to an admissions officer.</p>

<p>@ella, how exciting working at ucla!</p>

<p>Last year there were People who were pending and then like 3 days later they checked their URSA and financial info showed up and they were admitted that night.</p>

<p>does anybody know what the provisions of the contract is if you get in? Like would they take away my admission if I got a C in one of my classes?</p>

<p>@transferoutt, I’m not working! I’m doing a summer program. Getting paid 600 dollars to live there for 6 weeks :slight_smile: I’m so excited. </p>

<p>Check it out: Smdep.org</p>

<p>Btw to all of you, I’m a big advocate of summer programs, if I get into UCLA it will be because the summer program I did there last summer. Please look into it, there are many opportunities available. You don’t need to be low income/URM either. Not many People are aware of them either, so they aren’t as competitive as scholarships.</p>

<p>i wish i never signed up for ursa…lol another thing to check obsessively. but i’m going to wait it out and not check anymore, i don’t see anything right now so what’s the point in sweating over it.</p>

<p>@ella what are your stats?</p>

<p>Is it monday yet?</p>

<p>I just got the email. Which I guess was surprising. Still not sure if I will be accepted since I didn’t do the entire Physics Prerequisite Series.</p>

<p>Major: Computer Science
GPA: 3.75</p>

<p>I wasn’t expecting to be accepted at all.
However, this gives me a little hope, lol.</p>

<p>Guys, this is another one of those “oh my god, I can do this, what do it?!?” things (sorry!) but I can access grades on myURSA (nothing shows up, but I wasn’t even permitted to do it before) AND when I click on Declare Degree Expected Term this shows up: “You are unable to declare candidacy by selecting your Degree Expected Term at this time. Please try again when the next quarter starts.” Before I always got something like “this function is unavailable to you.” Can anyone who also signed up for summer session NOT do this? Then it may mean something.</p>

<p>@ella, that is even more exciting! I wish I had known about it! Have fun :)</p>

<p>3.79 sociology: just when i was going to give up on ucla seeing how i basically havent been given any authority to log into myucla or ursa i get that alumni scholarship email. does it seriously not mean anything? odd that they would send potential free money to students who don’t have a chance/arent in? </p>

<p>but that might just be wishful thinking. /:</p>

<p>@volume - psych, ~3.6x?, no tap, I’m an EOPS student, I did a summer transfer program at UCLA last summer and I’m in Cal’s TAP program. </p>

<p>That program specifically I got into into because I’m a low income URM but there are many others that aren’t aimed towards underrepresented students. </p>

<p>Btw guys, sorry for my Spelling and grammar. I’m on my phone and it’s hard to catch these little mistakes.</p>

<p>Oh, just noticed that it is a medical and dental education program and I am a history major.</p>

<p>Why would they have people PERSONALLY call students (not just send automated messages) that are rejected anyway? That would be a waste of time…</p>

<p>Google programs at any school you like for history! There are so many for every field. Doesn’t need to be local, I almost did one at Colombia and UWash this summer too but I decided to stay local.</p>

<p>@deanza - compare who got a phone call compared to just an email.</p>

<p>Wait… so not all those who got an email got a call?</p>

<p>ella89-i got both a phone call and email</p>
