@Boxlogoboy there is a poster a page back or two who got denied with a 3.9 or 4.0 major in history, who had completed IGETC and other aspects. He/she admitted that they did not take their time on the essay. While, if you go back a few more pages, somebody with a 3.3 got into UCLA as a history major as well. So… Something has to give.
@lovethebearucla and @kikessgun there’s a UCLA TFT thread. You should look for it. Just scroll a page or two.
@tik1127 dang I don’t know then, I had a terrible essay but I didn’t care because I heard UC’s are all about stats. Thats really weird. That dude should have gotten in even with a bad essay.
@kikessgun Hi yes I did.
@Legolas154 and @stanchevy. I’m sorry about your situations. Do you think they recalculated and you were under unit count? If you went to more than one college, esp calculating in a 4-year, that sometimes happens.
@Tik1127 I think my essay is great to be honest I worked very hard on it… I honestly think the admission has a vendetta toward me or something, not brag but I don’t see how my application could be any better :(.
Exactly @jazzgtr1
@legolas154 I’m in the same boat as you!

I don’t know why I was rejected and I’m absolutely heartbroken. I plan on calling first thing on Monday to find out why. Hopefully they can shed some light on the matter.
@legolas154 you should try to find if you can appeal because you should have gotten in. I had very similar stats as you and a bad essay. the essay shouldn’t have been a problem. You’re definitely UCLA material
@lindyk8 Thank you for your kind words. Yes I have over 60 units, all at one college in 2 years with no gaps. I really don’t know what was the cause of my rejection.

I actually didn’t complete many pre-reqs (about 4 missing) , however, I complete all pre-reqs that available in my school. I applied all other UCs as Poli sci major.
I have lots of retakes (4) and a W, with two Cs.

Good luck to all of you, and I will submit SIR next Friday!

Anyone reading this prior to 2016 admissions and is a philosophy major, I know there are few of us, so I hope this helps you a bit haha.
@gatos24 Sorry to hear that, but hopefully we get off the boat together at UCLA! We will figure this out there must have been some mistake.
@gatos24 hi I’m so sorry to hear that!
Wow, @purpleishskies, thx. Congrats on UCLA!!
@lindyk8 It’s possible, I guess - I have gone to 2 CCC’s. But I have done the addition and I’m at 61 semester units with my current semester included.
Thank you, but I’m not overly concerned. I’m happy to try again next year if my other applications don’t pan out.
I got in. design media art major.
That’s the spirit @stanchevy!
Anybody going to submit Honors applications? I just submitted mine. That was pretty easy. Lol.
