@iamstillcurious are you an international student?
@Chanel Yes I am and I think my chances are pretty as an international…
low*
@iamstillcurious don’t worry my chances are probably low also. We’ll find out hopefully by the end of next week.
@Chanel Thanks! I wonder how many architecture major students got the invitation?
@iamstillcurious I haven’t heard any architecture majors receiving the invite :\ do you know anyone who got one
@Chanel not at all -.-
@iamstillcurious it’s extremely weird that no one has gotten them. Hopefully the open house invite just didn’t send through to us
I don’t know because it was a mix of frosh and transfers. We did break into groups according to major but again it was unclear who was a transfer vs. newly admitted frosh
@Molliford I see. Was there a lot of people at the open house?
Hey Guys. The open house for the architecture department is next Friday. A fellow classmate got her invitation a month ago and she mentioned that the date was April 27th. Also it looks like decisions will be released on Wednesday so the department will likely release the remaining invitation on Monday around 8 AM PST.
@jraj11 wait how do you know that invitations will be sent on Monday
I don’t know but I assume that they’ll be sent out this Monday since the event is next Friday and UCLA is likely to update transfer applicants on Wednesday. By the end of today they must have a confirmed list of accepted students.
@jraj11 Ahhh I see. What type of pieces did you include in your portfolio?
@ChaneI I’ve taken a handful of architecture courses so I just included them in my portfolio. The following is a link:

@jraj11 your portfolio looks amazing! I have no architecture experience as my community college doesn’t offer any classes :\ I went on a tour of the undergrad architecture department and they said they weren’t expecting students to have prior experience so I mainly included fine art pieces in mine. I’m 99% sure I got rejected since I didn’t know what I was doing when I was making my portfolio. I can email it to you if you like
@ChaneI Thanks! I really don’t know how important the portfolio is since the classmate who got the invitation had an okay portfolio but a high GPA. Another person who got accepted last year had a 3.3 GPA and a decent portfolio so if you’re well rounded in terms of GPA and you put quality work you shouldn’t stress. Please feel to send over your portfolio.
@jraj11 alright just PM me your email. I heard the portfolio is very important in admission. Do you happen to have copies of the accepted portfolios from last year so I have an idea of what UCLA is looking for
@ChaneI I don’t want to sound like an idiot but I cant find the PM button. Do you mind sending me a message so I could respond? Also I don’t have his portfolio. I took a presentation graphic course with him last spring and he was working on it there.
How do you know transfer decisions are coming out April 25th? is the date confirmed?
