Holy eff, UCLA! Has anyone seen the "disadvantaged information"--which is longer than the secondary? Also, see language:
"You must be able to provide, on request, sufficient documentation to verify all information. If after you review the questions on the form and decide that you do not qualify for disadvantaged consideration, you may withdraw your request for disadvantaged consideration by following the instructions at the bottom of the form."
Honestly, I can't dig back as far as they want me to. I don't care about being considered disadvantaged by UCLA, but as far as they've stated, my withdrawal of that status would indicate that I'd "decided I do not qualify." It's not that I don't think I qualify; I just don't mind being considered nondisadvantaged ("advantaged"?) in lieu of not having to submit all that info. I think this is a matter of pride and rhetoric.
On another note, I haven't really fulfilled their requirements either (even with APs), but I figured what the hell. I didn't fulfill the requirements for some of the schools I've gotten interviews at, and they've all just kinda been like "whatever." Not that there aren't non-science majors who don't fulfill the most rigid of requirements, but still...
Anyhow, debating what to do. Right now, my options are: 1) submit really incomplete info that doesn't even fit into some of their criteria (there are no free text fields for explanation), 2) withdraw the disadvantaged status from UCLA (which might indicate that I believed I didn't qualify), or 3) withdraw my app from UCLA altogether.
