Where did you get this information?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some people who just got in from the WL didn’t PTE correctly or in time on AMCAS so their offers were rescinded and the school told them they already gave their spots away…

Don't lose hope! I am expecting some more movement soon as well as when we hit the CTE deadlineI really thought we would hear something this week
That’s what I was thinking too! Thankfully they have a relatively early CTE 🙏Don't lose hope! I am expecting some more movement soon as well as when we hit the CTE deadline![]()
What is their CTE deadline?That’s what I was thinking too! Thankfully they have a relatively early CTE 🙏
I believe it’s June 3rd. About two weeks baby!What is their CTE deadline?
Hello! I have some questions about the work and activities section of the application if you don't mind.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.
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 uclaHello! 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.
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.Hello! I have some questions about the work and activities section of the application if you don't mind.

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!Hello! I have some questions about the work and activities section of the application if you don't mind.

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!Does anyone know when students who got off the waitlist get financial aid packages? Regardless I’m committing but just want to know 😅
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.Hello! I have some questions about the work and activities section of the application if you don't mind.

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.2. Do you have any sort of advice/recommendation about how many slots each category should get?

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).3.

This gives me hope 😩 Maybe we'll get more nees this week?????Let’s goooo!!! A off the waitlist this afternoon yall know how much I’ve been waiting for almost 8 months I can’t believe it!!!!! I’m coming home baby!!!!
do we think were will be a large wave of waitlist movement after UCLA’s CTE date? Or a smaller number of people
This is my worry as wellI am worried the majority of movement has happened already...but I would hope there will be another wave after 6/3....![]()
Yup, lots of info passed down as we get closer to school starting in August.Does anyone know if the class above hands down any resources for incoming M1s?
Are you thinking the waitlist will be going longer than the first week of June?Losing hope… need to CTE to my current PTE mid June but the UCLA waitlist might run longer![]()

192/260anyone know how many accepted students are in the GroupMe/fb now
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.Why is the insurance so expensive? Does anyone know if I can’t have any insurance and I keep the money?
Two people left the group me today. That’s all I can saydoes anyone think there will be movement soon with CTE today?
Two people left the group me today. That’s all I can say
thank u!!!Two people left the group me today. That’s all I can say
