Haven't received an interview yet and haven't been rejected yet...

I'm pretty sure it's April 1st. Dont quote me on that though...Does anyone know what the deadline is to decide between multiple schools you paid deposits to?
I'm in the same position as you. Noemi told me that they're interviewing through March, but seeing as next week is Spring Break I don't know what the chances are anymoreIs UCLA still interviewing?

I don't think it's over yet because they have one more interview this Monday, probably for wait listinganyone got off wait list recently? or UCLA is over for this cycle?
I hope not.I believe UCLA is not full yet
I hope not.
Is UCLA much cheaper than other CA schools? it seems to be hard to get in and even get an interview.
I am a CA resident.
UCLA can be really selective when they choose who to interview, but they do favor CA residents.
I believe UCLA is the cheapest of all CA schools. Western, USC, UOP and LLU are all private CA schools so they are the more expensive options. UCSF and UCLA are the two CA public schools that have more affordable tuition. Between UCLA and UCSF if I remember from my interviews, UCLA is a little cheaper than UCSF.

Not sure if it is permitted. I remember at the interview they said all pre-reqs need to be fulfilled by 6/30 unless you get some special permission from admissions. I do know that the psychology pre-req can be taken pass/fail though.Is anyone planning on taking a pre-req like psychology this Summer, just before D1? Is that permitted?
Really? I went through their entire website and couldn't find any such deadline. That would really suck though and make no sense, especially that their classes don't start until late September, unlike some other dental schools that start in early August.

It makes perfect sense. They need to get A TON of stuff done for you. They need to order your ~$14,000 kit, get your embroidered white coat, get all of the sizes for gloves and gowns that you need.... The list goes on. If you have not taken psych, you have not completed the required coursework and your admissions will be rescinded and an alternate with the completed requirements will take your spot. I'm sure these rules started with students saying that they "definitely will complete the required courses" and then they come to school and say "I didn't know that I needed to finish that course!"
They are just covering their backs. So, I would give them a call... Because I also remember that there was a requirement of finishing all required courses by the end of June (double check your acceptance letter).
Letter says all prerequisites and unit requirements are due by June 30th and your health clearance results are due by August 1.
Calm down man, I'm applying next year. I'm just planning ahead.
So, are they saying all your classes must end on or before June 30, or that they must have your final grades/transcripts by June 30?
where is good place for 2-bed apt near UCLA dental? new to the area.

Have they mentioned any other information about the health clearance results yet? Or should we get another email from Noemi about it later on?
No calming down needed. I tried to emit no emotion when I wrote that. I would imagine that the lack of sugarcoating in my response could be read as blunt.
Also, to answer your question: they need all of your classes to be completed by June 30th. Your transcripts sent as soon as the grades are posted.
Best of luck.
just got an interview invitation for UCLA's alternate list. interview is taking place may 12th. Anyone else interview for the alternate list? Or know how likely it is for an alternate to actually be accepted?

To be honest, at this point in the cycle your chances probably aren't very high. AADSAS has already notified schools of people holding multiple deposits, and those students have been forced to decide on the school they want to attend - as a result there should be very limited movement on waitlists from this point on (only out of the ordinary circumstances would cause someone to change schools at this time - at least this is my understanding, somebody please correct me if I'm wrong). If you have another acceptance or live far away from UCLA (meaning you would have to pay to travel here for the interview), I would just not attend the interview but if UCLA is your absolute dream, you live close enough where the commute to the interview wont cost you anything or you dont have any other options at this point I'd go for it - the worst that happens is you won't get in, but the upside is huge!
Thank you. See this was much more helpful than your previous response/rant.
sad day. well I'm a 4th year undergrad here at UCLA so it's not like I have anything better to do.. I've already got acceptances elsewhere but UCLA is my top school. guess we'll see! Will it be a group interview on Monday or should I expect to be the only one there?
Thanks! Would be nice to hear from any other alternates interviewees to hear their experience!
Congrats !I interviewed as an alternate on Friday (5/2) and got the call yesterday (5/6). It was identical to a normal interview at UCLA (presentations, interview, sizing, prereqs, lunch with students) but they did make it clear that there is a good chance you will be waitlisted. I don't feel comfortable sharing the average waitlist movement, but it can be REALLY low depending on the year.
If you have any more questions message me! Good luck!
Oh snap! You got the acceptance call that quick?! That's awesome! How'd you feel after your interview? This bodes well it seems. I would have thought people who were wait listed much earlier would have a better shot than May interviewees.I interviewed as an alternate on Friday (5/2) and got the call yesterday (5/6).

So, are you going to be placed on the waitlist now because you were interviewing as an alternate?
I will miss you <3,Fairly certain I will be withdrawing my acceptance to UCLA in the next few days. Hardest decision of my life. Congrats to the alternate who gets it!
UCLA Class of 2018 GPA avg is 3.75 and 98th percentile on the DAT.
