sooooo. Back in March 20 I was waitlisted to UCLA.
A couple months later, they told me that the waitlisting has been extended to the end of June.
So I wait.
Keep in mind, I have already SIRed to UCSB and have been doing UCSB things, such as finding housing and a roommate and classes etc etc.
So I check today, July 2, 2015 to see my UCLA waitlist rejection letter.
And guess what, #UCLABOUND
I scroll down, and it says, “the deadline to accept our offer has passed”
I was accepted on June 26, 2015 and I had until 11:59 PTS June 30 to accept.
So I’m 2 days late.
I emailed the admissions office, am planning on calling them tomorrow.
UCLA NEVER emailed me to tell me that decisions were up when they clearly stated in their waitlist FAQ that they would be sending out emails…
has this happened to anyone, do I have a chance???
You need to contact them tomorrow and let them know that you were not notified and will submit your SIR tomorrow.
@auntbea okay okay! do you think they’ll be there since its july 4 on saturday? I hope it works! Thank you, that was so reassuring!
@auntbea actually they’re closed tomorrow due to the holidays… what should I do???
Yes, it is a public college, so they should be open but may have limited service. The private schools are the ones that can afford to be closed.
You need to talk to an “adult” and bypass the students who answer the phone; speak to an admissions counselor.
@auntbea Okay, thank you so much! I was about to give up…
Good Luck!!
UPDATE UCLA kindly extended my SIR deadline, and now I’m officially a Bruin! #GOBRUINS!!
Congrats! Welcome to the Bruin family
