So far I’ve been accepted to UCM, UCSC, UCR, UCI, UCD, UCSB, and Cal Poly Pomona. And I’ve been waitlisted at UCSD. Honestly, I thought I would be flat out rejected since UCLA is one of the premier universities in America. Do you guys think they will accept any off the waitlist this year? Because they accepted just over 5,700 students out of 92,000 applicants, which is an acceptance rate of about 7%, which is low compared to last years (18%)

@studycollege‌ Congrats!

@ajmehta21‌ people think it’s 7% because the email said they only had like 5,000 or so spots BUT they accept way more than that

For those accepted for engineering, does anyone know anything about the UCLA fast track program/ scholarship? I just got the email but I’m not familiar with it.

ACCEPTED!
