Wow why would UCLA reject you,…
Wow, @lakersman, that’s tough.
One minor thought: do you have a lot of AP accounting for some units. I saw at UCSD they forgot to add them to the unit count for someone who was rejected and they recalculated it.
Rejected. I’m really upset right now but at the moment it looks like UCLA for me.

There is no need to put ECs in front of parenting your child/children–my TAP coordinator only reiterated that concept, so take it to heart!

Extra:
Student parent, nontraditional, first generation student that spends most time studying and parenting my children.
