My D24 just off list this morning.
OOS Bio Engineering.
stats: salutatorian, 13APs, weighted GPA 5.06, unweighted GPA 4.0, some ECs
Best wished to everybody still waiting.
This forum is really helpful and like a big family.
I still remember my another D19 also waitlisted on UCLA and finally offlist.
wow congrats!! are they still pushing emails around 6?
My mail came at 5:30 am (PST)
damn thats hella early. ok thanks for the info!! still hoping i get that email 
around 10am EST
It depends on what dorm type and building they get. If they have friends who were already admitted in the regular decision round, the waitlisted student can dorm with them ONLY if they receive the same dorm type and building. If they donāt get the same dorm/building type, the waitlisted student can request a housing assignment change, but itās not guaranteed that theyāll be able to switch.
UCLA Housing also has this feature where students can fill out their living style preferences (smoking permissions, wake up/sleep times, bringing friends over, etc), and they can be matched to other groups of 2-3 people who have similar preferences. I havenāt used this method so Iām not sure how the entire process will work out.
Students can also find people to dorm with online on social media, like on UCLAās Class of 2028 Instagram page, but once again, they would have to have the same dorm type and building.
I would assume that if the student doesnāt do any of these methods, they would just receive a random dorm group.
When you form a roommate group, I believe that grouping links the 2-3 members to the same housing type thatās eventually offered - most of my sonās HS classmates heading to UCLA were offered Classic triples, but he grouped with someone from OOS and ended up with a Plaza triple offer at the top of the hill.
Ah I see. So if you form your groups prior to receiving the housing offer, chances are that you will receive the same housing type/dorm?
Make sure you choose deluxe triple if itās still available, it costs slightly more. It could be damn warm during summer months.
For those still waiting, itās not over until itās over. I witnessed many miracles here, but you need to prepare the worst scenario, love the school you committed.
Good luck to ALL! We will drive to LA next week!
I donāt think itās over! Itās still the beginning of June and If you compare to last years amount of waves, theyāre could be more. Just smaller now. Keep your hopes up. We are in this together!
I think thatās how it works. The members of the group are offered the same housing option. The plaza triples have A/C and I think they are the newest housing construction on the hill (at least thatās the info shared with me). Iām sure there are lots of tradeoffs amongst the housing options, so hopefully you get a housing offer that works great for you.
Congrats on getting in!
The deluxe triples are the newest housing on the hill. They all have ac & communal bathrooms. The plaza triples are older but have ac & either private or shared (between 2 rooms) bathrooms.
Seems lowkey like the waves are kind of ending:,) Iām still waiting, but none of my friends who were WL before as polisci majors have gotten off, so thatās stressing me out a little bit. Iām so nervous, but Iām just hoping for the best atp!!
im lowk getting pretty stressed abt this situation too. still praying that i get off but everyday my chances keep getting slimmer
Congratulations to everyone who got off the dreaded WL. My daughter is on several and is being asked to reconfirm her interest in them. She will but I think she is pretty close to done with all of this. She is already taking placement tests and online orientation and seems happy with the school she will be attending. Best of luck to everyone still waiting.
Are the UCās sending out emails of reconfirmed interest? Best of luck to your daughter.
I have never seen any of the UCās send out emails for continued interest on remaining on the waitlist. Some UCās (ie UCSD) have started short listing applicants where they deny many and keep a few on the waitlist to cover āsummer meltā.
No a couple of private schools. Best of luck to you as well.
The struggle is real. One S24 got of the WL, which was great. His twin brother, however, is still waiting and the chances now appear slim at best. He SIRāed to another UC and is stoked about that school, but would still pivot to UCLA in a heartbeat if admitted. UCLA Admissions, are you reading this? (ha ha).
I feel the same! My best friend (our moms are best friends so weāre very close) got in a couple weeks ago and Iām still waiting to hear back 
Praying it works out for me, your kid, and everyone else who needs this!
