Congrats to you too, axeon123! Did you get a status page change?
Yup, the date for final decision letter was changed, and they sent me an email about the criminal background check.

Congratulations! =) That's great! Hmm, do you think we were in the same interview group? haha. I interviewed on Thursday, Jan 3.
I've been trying to call the admissions office and the phone just keeps ringing... do you think that means they're closed?

I don't know Mona Lisa, but I sure would like to! I tried calling again yesterday on my lunch break(I have to make sure they have my update letter) and again it just kept ringing. I'm starting to think that they're screening my phone calls... or maybe they were just eating lunch too : )
Called yesterday about the waiting list. They said we should be hearing in the next two weeks. I asked either way, even a rejection? They said they basically know who they're accepting and who they're not at this point.
nope!

how could they know who they are accepting and who they are not if the accepted students are still waiting to here from their first choice schools and possibly withdrawing in june or july??
but it seems from previous threads that people on the waitlist that did not hear back were assumed rejected unless notified otherwise...only those that saw a status change or received some notification were accepted., i dont recall anyone getting notification of rejection after the waitlist (i might be wrong). so do you think if he said you should hear back in the next few days he might be indicating that its good news? (im being optimistic here).

I also called in and the nice ao lady gave me the same reply: you'll hear back in 1-2 weeks.
Do you think they might be selecting students who sent in letters of intent? I think this would provide them with the confidence to say that "they basically know who they'll be accepting".
well, did they first ask for your amcas id or not when they told you you would hear back in 1-2 weeks? when i called and asked he said something along the lines of "hrm, what is your amcas id number and ill check...... okay, you should hear back in 1-2 weeks". but if this is the same response given to all applicants regardless of initial inquiry of amcas id, then i think it is the case that that is a general response to everyone. and yes, only those that actually hear back (not everyone) will probably be accepted then.
i mean, for the schools starting end of july/beginning august, matriculants must already be looking for apts and signing leases, not to mention putting down deposits; we cant be looking for apts 2 weeks before medical school starts if we're still waiting on a waitlist for another school. if they dont let us know until end of june or even beginning of july, many of us may have already made the apartment and financial commitments to other schools already!! i just need some closure .
anyways, what would happen if you did get a lease somewhere else and suddenly got accepted into UCLA? would you then have to find a sublet for that apartment potentially in another faraway state and then move to LA? what're you guys' thoughts?
i think its BS for us to be strung on so long. i mean, for the schools starting end of july/beginning august, matriculants must already be looking for apts and signing leases, not to mention putting down deposits; we cant be looking for apts 2 weeks before medical school starts if we're still waiting on a waitlist for another school. if they dont let us know until end of june or even beginning of july, many of us may have already made the apartment and financial commitments to other schools already!! i just need some closure .

One of my classmates was accepted 2 days before orientation!

How many people do they normally place on the waiting list? Any ideas on how many people they have left on the waiting list?
Is the waitlist really unranked?
I just got status change that a final decision letter was sent today. I don't know if that's good or bad news! I'm hoping good!!!!!! Does anyone know if they're rejecting from the waitlist?

So I'm kind of losing hope... and REALLY starting to stress about finding housing all the way across the country for the school I will attend bc I probably won't be getting into ucla. anyone else?? Maybe once I finally give up hope I'll get in??? That might be my new tactic...
