2023-2024 UCLA (Geffen)

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
Would anyone be able to send me the accepted students FB/Groupme links 🙏? Was accepted off the regular WL last week.
 
I'm seeing that the number of members in the fb group jumped to 250 :dead: how much of that are admitted students? LOL
I wouldn't worry about that. There will be more movement. I expect more than last year, which was a lot. They'll keep movement till the first week of June I'm speculating
 
Anyone know how long it has been since anyone’s recieved an A off the regular waitlist? Saw a lot of ppl who got off waitlist turning down their spots but haven’t seen many ppl receiving offers since then.

I'm sure they are just prepping the next wave. At least that's what I would like to think lol
 
apparently some people who just got in from the WL didn’t PTE correctly or in time on AMCAS so their offers were rescinded and the school told them they already gave their spots away…
Where did you get this information?
 
I withdrew from UCLA HPWL a while ago, but it hasn't been reflected on CYMS. Anyone else has the same thing?
 
Current student here. Wishing the best for y'all this cycle! Feel free to drop questions below or message me, esp as secondaries come out next month.
Hello! I have some questions about the work and activities section of the application if you don't mind.
1. How important is it to include a hobby on the W&A? I heard it's good to include because it adds a human quality to your application, but I've done a lot of meaningful activities and I'm running out of space to mention a hobby.
2. Do you have any sort of advice/recommendation about how many slots each category should get? For example, is it okay to give leadership 1 slot, or should it be 2 or 3? Do you know if UCLA likes seeing a certain split of categories or if they have a preferences for some categories over others?
3. How important is it to touch on social justice and advocacy? I have a great experience I could touch on for this, but again, I'm running out of space and wondering if I should cut this.

Look at the schools mission and secondary. Do not bank on getting a ucla II. You have a 98% chance of not getting in. Bank on making your app as appealing to as many school by being authentic. The secondary you will be able to show specifically why you are good for ucla

You should post in the WAMC thread or general pre-med forums where you’ll get better feedback for questions related to your application in general.
