Future students: Don’t let anyone tell you what you can or cannot do. Also, Maintain your GPA at least to 3.6 and write your essays in the correct format.

Congrats to all of the applicants who gained acceptance, and a special shoutout to those who didn’t! You guys all should be proud of all your hard work! UCLA is just a school, and it does not determine who you are, your worth, or what your future will look like. Don’t let this decision determine your abilities because it does not. We are all capable of success, and wherever you go, make it count!

For Financial Aid: You have to create UCLA ID Login, then you can read your Financial Aid Award. They do not offer me Regents but other Grants is much more than UCR (with Regrents). So cool.

Rejected
Major: Communications
GPA: 3.8

I knew that I would get rejected since the acceptance rate is only 11% for communications

Good job everyone for all of your hard work!
p.s. I still don’t know whether to go to UNC Chapel Hill or UMich…any advice will be very helpful! I’m thinking about going to dental school afterwards!

Political Science

[CalAlumandDad]

JakeRice - First, please don’t be too down on yourself. The application process for UCLA and Cal is insane: the schools’ 23% acceptance rate for transfers is less than the FRESHMAN acceptance rates for the other top rated public universities: UMichigan, UVA, UNC, and Texas. Secondly, I see you applied to 4 schools, two of which are a crapshoot. I don’t know what happened with Cal Poly, but unless there’s something odd in your application, you should get into UCSD. Keep us posted, and I’ll keep you in my prayers.

@AeroDE Yeah, we had to use our UCLA ID number to make the account. I didn’t receive my financial aid award though :neutral:
