UCLA CLASS OF 2021 APPLICANT THREAD

what do you have to do for an appeal?

does anyone know how you can know if you got the regent scholarship, I got the acceptance but no idea where the awards and stuff are… or does that just mean I didn’t get it if it isn’t mentioned in my acceptance letter

When does the financial aid letter come out?

@gureum After my head has cleared a little, I’m starting to agree with that :slight_smile: I got into ucsd and they told me about my acceptance a month ago and have been extremely nice. Why petition to go somewhere that didn’t want me?
