My son chose the ucla email option. After he submitted the SIR, he set up the ucla email.
this is really helpful. thank you!!
Mine used his Google account and still gets housing communication through Google.
Thanks!
I am trying to figure out all the to dos after SIR. The website said "Admitted students who have not satisfied ELWR by June 1 are required to take the Analytical Writing Placement Exam (AWPE) at UCLA. " My son can satisfy ELWR with both SAT and AP Lang. However, we haven’t sent any official scores yet. I was hoping to send later to include this year’s AP tests. Do you know if the score reported on UC application could be considered before June 1 or do we have to send in official scores by June 1? then I have to send another AP report after this year’s scores become available. Very much appreciated!
I think you will be fine if you wait and send AP scores. If you want to not worry, send them an SAT. That’s what we did.
Thanks! I just sent the SAT score.

My son chose the UCLA email as official email address and had no problem setting it up and accessing emails from it. He has received a few emails from it already.

My daughter took SAT early without really studying and just missed the required score (670). She then knew she would not have to retake since she was recruited as an athlete for UCLA and knew they were test blind. She took multiple AP classes in high school but chose a College in High School English composition class which is a University of Washington Course. How do we find out if that class is a UC transferable English Composition course to fulfill UCLA writing requirement?
You can use Transferology to check …
I think this is one of the suggestions here : https://admission.ucla.edu/sites/default/files/documents/UCLA-Transferability.pdf
Daughter got in off waitlist today. Out of state undeclared. She is SO thrilled. We were excited about UCSB, but this is the moonshot.

A little confused by all the info she has, and it’s not super-clear about applying for housing. Should she apply right away? What are considered the better forms to pick? Haven’t paid attention to any of this because she was waitlisted …
This is from other posters early in this discussion:
Student ranks their preference for room type (eg classic triple, deluxe double etc)
and housing office assigns.
Almost all first-year students will be assigned to triple rooms (w/ 2 roommates)
You don’t pick your specific dorm but rather the type of dorm room you prefer — triple (with or without AC), double (with or without AC) in a “hall-style” dorm (rooms with shared bathrooms in hallways) vs more suite-style setups that have bathrooms within the suite. All are priced differently, and the type you get determines which building you might get in. They are all in one place on “the hill” — that’s a fun setup.

I have a question about the Math Diagnostic Test for freshmen. It says on the UCLA website that Students who are waiting for UCLA to receive their AP test scores or other course credit and do not know how their AP test scores will transfer in need to take the test.
My son has taken Calc AB and BC and has scored 5 in both exams. He has self-reported them. But, he will have the official score report sent only this July with the senior year AP Scores.
Does this mean he needs to take the diagnostic test? Or should we send the scores twice, now and then in July again? Please help.
No, he doesn’t need to take a diagnostic.
If your summer orientation is before the scores come out, and you want to register for the math class, you can print the unofficial scores and use those.
