Does anyone know when students who got off the waitlist get financial aid packages? Regardless I’m committing but just want to know 😅

Are we allowed to send updates??
I got into UCLA without putting a hobby. I had maybe 3 leadership slots. I had 1-2 activities centered around advocacy and social justice. Hope this helps!
You'll get a follow-up email shortly with a list of documents to complete and send in. Once you finish their tasks they are really good about getting you an estimated aid package soon after, took them about a day for me!
Preface by saying that I don't work in admissions, so I have no insight into that process. I had a hobby on my application because it's been quite meaningful for me since childhood, and I literally filtered through schools where I could pursue said hobby relatively easily. Would not say it's necessary.
I don't think there's a rule for how many experiences should be listed under each category. My goal was to be well-rounded, but also show folks what I care about most in my career/life. No idea if UCLA likes a certain split, but I will say that many of my classmates chose where they spent their time purposefully and meaningfully. Some folks had zero research and spent all their time in community service. Other folks had little community service, but spent 24/7 in a research lab. My advice is to just put yourself on paper and show UCLA what interests you bring to the table.
I would say UCLA looks at social justice and advocacy favorably. Social justice and advocacy exists in many ways, shapes, and sizes, but you'll find that most UCLA students have some experience in it (knowingly or unknowingly).
This gives me hope 😩 Maybe we'll get more nees this week?????
Hi guys! Not sure where to post the question so I’m asking here since this is my top choice school. Within what timeframe are you considered an “early” applicant versus a “late” applicant? Also, does anybody know when the new forum will be made for this school? Thanks!
I withdrew my waitlist position and committed to another school!! Wishing yall the best of luck 😀D

do we think were will be a large wave of waitlist movement after UCLA’s CTE date? Or a smaller number of people
I am worried the majority of movement has happened already...but I would hope there will be another wave after 6/3....

This is my worry as well 🙁I am worried the majority of movement has happened already...but I would hope there will be another wave after 6/3....
Stay strong WL gang! ~192 members in groupme but I'm not sure how many MS1s. I think there will be one last good wave 6/3!
Somebody probably already asked this, but does ucla provide waitlist rank? I emailed admissions and their response was pretty generic and apologetic that the process was taking so long….

Does anyone know if the class above hands down any resources for incoming M1s?
Yup, lots of info passed down as we get closer to school starting in August.
Are you thinking the waitlist will be going longer than the first week of June?
There has been small movement in the past at the end of June but I wouldn't bank on it

anyone know how many accepted students are in the GroupMe/fb now
192/260
Why is the insurance so expensive? Does anyone know if I can’t have any insurance and I keep the money?

It’s legally required to have health insurance in CA, or else you’ll be fined. You can apply for medi-cal which is cheaper than UCSHIP usually.
does anyone think there will be movement soon with CTE today?

yep, i’m glad they at least gave us confirmation
Me too, especially after all these months of waiting. Admittedly I was really hopeful about a second wave this or next week so I’m a bit sad and still processing.
Disappointed as well but maybe something will happen by August? Or maybe I'm delulu lol
It's been fun folks. Trying to make space for how sad I am that this dream didn't come true, while being so thankful for my current A. Wishing you all well in the upcoming weeks.
I feel the same way. I’m trying to be happy about the opportunity I have in front of me. Ultimately, the dream to become a doctor is going to come true albeit it a different state than I had hoped. But the future is bright. Trying to remind myself of that.
Dare I join you in your delusion? Lol
What did the message say specifically? Did they basically say no more movement now?
It said in part, “At this time, the 2024 entering class is fully enrolled and there are no available seats. The waitlist will be maintained until August and you are welcome to remain on the waitlist…”
:/ we still out here holding onto hope

is the only hope for the waitlist that someone defers or drops out now? Is that a common thing to happen ?

based on the wording of the email, yes i assume so. the chances of that happening are probably low
Hey guys, since I have my CTE for another school in a few days I am going to have to withdraw from the waitlist 🙁 likely it is going to be little to no movement but it has been a long journey and best of luck to everyone who is still hoping to get off!!
Dare I say it is too soon to start hoping for residency here 😉
