2021-2022 UCLA (Geffen)

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
It seems like (from what I’ve noticed) that the committee doesn’t go in any order when it comes to reviewing/accepting applicants (ie someone from december was accepted a few weeks ago and then someone from early september was accepted today). It also seems like they’ve been sharing decisions every week rather than the biweekly schedule i once thought they were on. I say all of this to say that i think there is still hope for many of us, regardless of when we interviewed (sept interviewee myself). Here’s to hoping for good news next week for us awaiting post ii decisions!

does UCLA have a deferred list? That may explain the discrepancies. I know Ohio State has one, and our apps are deferred until the next adcom meeting at which we will be evaluated with a different set of students. At that point we can either be Accepted, Rejected, or deferred for the next meeting again. Could this be what is going on with the students you're referring to?

I didn't want to say it because I don't fully remember exactly what I heard, but I think the person who told me I was admitted told me they're doing their last interview today. Someone tell me otherwise if they have have a later II, not 100% sure what he told me.

Another medical student stated 1/21 was the last interview date.

There are no IIs left to be sent.

The only people left are those who have been interviewed.
 
It was standard. Things were delayed the last cycle for a few reasons, I believe. Traditionally, you're right though. Most April movement across all schools is usually reserved for waitlisted folks.

Is this an accurate representation of LA costs?

I'm currently living in a city among the top 5 most populous American cities, and I can get a decent private room with roommates for about $700 a person including utilities, if I want to live in a decent area, then more expensive but still under 1k, and certainly much bigger than this.

Assuming I want to live in a decent sized house with a private bedroom and at most 4 roommates with 1 bathroom per every 2 people either within a 5 minute walk to the subway or close to the undergraduate or medical campus, how much should I expect to pay in rent? If anyone here knows. There's about a 50% chance I end up going to this school, so planning ahead.

I would say so. Westwood is definitely expensive. I was living in a two bedroom apt and paying $500 per month (including utilities) with five other people….and this was 10 years ago (non-trad applicant).

It’s only gotten worse, unfortunately. If you’re looking for a private room, you’re looking at paying at least $1000 unless you live further or in much older bldgs. Sadly, the further west you go, the more $$ it goes (ie Brentwood, SM..).

UCLA is my dream school but housing wise is quite a nightmare.

Lol “subway”

Tell me you have never left the northeast without telling me you have never left the northeast

Edit to actually be helpful: Most students live in on campus housing, information on which you can find here

And you will most likely not be living in a house, or At any point during your tenure in California will you ever be living in a house, especially one you described, in the area you want to live in.

This is LA, not Ithaca NY. That’s not a dig at you. It’s just the reality of LA housing market. Many of the houses are turned into these dystopian 8br sh*tholes run by slumlords who know you won’t be there long enough to care about how tenant friendly LA is.

A nice apartment however? Absolutely! That part of LA has really nice apartments. But a house in Beverly Hills?
Lol. Unless youre a Kennedy? Nah

You’re next to Beverly Hills so yes. It’s quite accurate. But UCLA has its own housing i believe

It’s intentional urban planning as to why the public transportation is disconnected as hell. It won’t change in any of our lifetimes.

The Westwood metro will only run east and west between Westwood and K-town. All of which are pretty expensive, but thankfully not as expensive as Westwood!

unless the city you’re currently living in is NYC … you will be in for a shock with LA prices, for housing and otherwise. Be prepared to pay 1,500+ per month for the type of housing arrangement you’re describing, and this would be an apartment not a house.

yea sorry, I meant house more so as "living space" than literally a house. Definitely am not expecting a house haha.

It honestly sucks. I was expecting a bit of a price bump, but more in the range of lik 40% at most, not 100%. I'm already in a very well known and very populated city (as you can guess obv not NYC), it's really unfortunate that even then LA is substantially more expensive.

yea it sucks but at least you wont have to worry about the snow, toll roads, or investing in winter clothes.

The only downside for you is that good Lobster is harder to come by out here.

But Long Beach has a lobster fest every year so you'll be aight dont worry. Price will be overshadowed by all the cool **** you get to do, and the SURPLUS of food you'll have in a 30 min driving radius.
