@iwanttransfer Seriously, I’ve already planned out my life in my head. It’s gonna suck so bad man
Trust me everybody study! Especially if you got tests this week. I studied all the weekend through Monday for today’s test and I did really well High B to low A guaranteed! Remember your last semester classes do matter you don’t want to mess up and fail because youre stressed about admissions! This can cause you to get an admission rescinded and the stressing wouldn’t even matter lol. We will all find out Friday!
Yeah-- I was bussing it before ubers (im old) so it does allow you a get away plan if things go bad (like the dang bus not arriving… ever)
But yea-- if you do get in, LA isn’t as bad as it was but it’s not your hometown either. Hopefully we will all get into UCLA and not have to worry much about the outside world for a few years.
@misskelseyk I totally agree with the whole impacted/non-impacted major situation. The major I’m in is HIGHLY impacted and that’s mostly the reason why I’m worried. I’ve already planned out scenarios in my head seeing the words, “I’m sorry, I regret to inform you…” because I feel like it’s just safer for my emotions right now to underestimate my chances than be overconfident. Also, I just came back from work and I actually find comfort coming home and seeing like 50+ messages from you guys 
I read all of them! I know I haven’t been following this thread for long but I’m really thankful I found this cool, little community.
To answer some questions about pre-req completion, I talked to 2 UCLA reps and they told me it was perfectly fine that I was still finishing up my last calc class this spring even though my major is very impacted. They said that would not impact their decision, but it was important that I completed that class this semester.
Also, 4.0’s usually get rejected because they were missing a pre-req or applied to an impacted major without TAP and very weak EC’s or none at all.
OOS and nonresident / international student is a HUGE factor that sometimes gets neglected. The UCs got in trouble for accepting too many OOS / int because they pay 70-80k, vs the ~40k instate pays. This is good for instate students, because they are now required to take more instate students, and this was as of last year or this year, I don’t remember which. It’s a good time to be an instate student, but not out of state / international.
Are you an econ major? I’m finishing calc ii this semester, and econ is possibly the most impacted major outside of comm and psych.
I don’t think I’ve ever wanted something so badly in my life. I’ve been dreaming of this school forever…I take things so personally and I’m terrified about how I’ll react if I get rejected. 
I’m trying to mentally prepare myself for the worst but it’s not working. I know that it isn’t personal, but …I’m just afraid of all the hard work not being enough. I’ve put myself through torture just to even get to a place where I could even apply. I have never in my life felt like I was enough for anyone or anything. I just want to be good enough for this school. UCLA is where my heart is. I walk around on campus for fun…like who does that (as a non-student?) I really hope that that’s the place where I belong…
sorry. typing out my thoughts helps me not drown in my tears of fear lol
@chocstraw Yes I am! Econ is slightly less impacted than Biz Econ so I’m hoping that helps, but it’s still pretty bad. My counselors told me not to worry but I don’t trust them haha
@MiniGrace11 I feels. I imagine scenarios where I’m accepted and I’m so happy and I imagine ones where I’m rejected during my lunch break at work on Friday. I just can’t. The schools are clever to release decisions on a Friday though. Like I seee yall
@LesKnope if you don’t mind me asking, what are your stats? I am an econ major too thats going to be applying in 17…seeing this thread is making me anxious!
yo did no one receive regents scholarship yet? this is weird.
@Buttmuncher321 I haven’t (but I wasn’t really expecting to either. I’d be lucky to just get in). No one I know that has also applied to UCLA has recieved it either (as of yet).
@MiniGrace11 It’s so funny, I wasn’t really thinking I would get into the UCs. I really thought I was just gonna transfer to a Cal State, which itself is awesome as well. But ever since I got my first UC acceptance, I got this sudden boost of confidence. I was like, dang, I can really do this. And I got even more hopeful of the opportunities that can open for me. For my major, UCLA is really the best, but behind it are the Cal States that I thought for sure I was going to attend. I guess what I’m trying to say is that even though I had a “late” realization of UCLA’s potential to change my life, I’ve become so invested in the school. Weird, throughout my middle school years and beyond, I’ve subconsciously dreamed of going to UCLA. I never realized that until recently. When I got that unexpected UC acceptance, it really made me realize that I underestimate myself. I think it’s a defense mechanism that’s just manifested to protect myself from getting hurt.
@LesKnope oops sorry just saw your post with your stats, I’m not too handy with cc yet
@choukevin no problem. I recommend you try to do as much volunteer work you can over the summer/ strengthen EC’s if they aren’t strong already. That is something I would change if I could go back!
Omg, I feel you guys with the planning out everything in your head thing. Even though I knew it was dangerous to become so attached to such a selective school it happened anyways and…yeah…3 years of wanting this so bad it hurts and friday it finally comes to an end either way…I really hope everyone here gets the news they want to hear on friday even if that wish is a tiny bit of a stretch :-SS
About the bus systems though, that’s good information I had no idea…I’m from a small town in norcal if I get in LA is going to be pretty shocking lol
any sociology majors?!
@misskelseyk Thanks about the advice. I jogged up and down the stairs of my apartment complex and totally forgot about forums and decisions long enough to finish my essay.
I really hope you get into the art department!!
I’m applying as an Art History major, and hope if I get in, I can reapply as a double major in art as well
Also, I had a friend who was accepted into UCLA art and she still had prereqs from lower division to finish at UCLA because our ccc didn’t offer it. If your ccc doesn’t offer the course then you have a chance to fulfill it later, but it won’t impact decisions.
@UCLAorUCBTRNSFR
Sometimes I feel like I should just believe in the stats, but I’m actually a third-time applicant to UCLA…
My stats are pretty good/great and I was accepted to CCA, UCSD/d/sb/m/sc, RISD, and Pratt. UCLA offers way more than any of the other schools in terms of department, location, jobs, internships, price, and art scene, so I keep applying. hehe
@lostar that’s deep brotha
