did anyone on the waitlist who didn’t have a UID number on their secondary portal before suddenly get one?

I’m on the wl and definitely l didn’t have a UID previously but have one now

Does anyone on the wl not have a UID displayed on the home page of their portal?

Yeah, it suddenly appeared. Were you emailed about it, or did you randomly check your portal and see it? (I was only notified about it here)

No I just randomly checked my portal and voila it was there. I don’t think it really means anything but I’m just curious if everyone on the WL has one

Looking at last years thread, uids appeared on only some secondary portals to applicants in early nov some applicants hadn’t even received iis yet. I am not sure it means much at all

I'm on the WL and no UID #

😳 are you sure? It should be on the very front home page of the portal in big font? It wasn’t there last time I checked a few weeks ago so I’m assuming this is a very recent thing

 

[Basalganglia4life]

This is what it looks like. You dont have this on your portal?

 

[carpe_diem_to_medschool]

Yep mine just shows “UID:” and is blank after

That is so strange

Chiming in here so we can all get to the bottom of this--a UID popped up for me as well, and I'm near the top of the waitlist. Not sure if this means anything!

 

[Basalganglia4life]

According to UCLA’s website UIDs are given to the following

New UCLA Students (including admitted/waitlisted applicants and summer sessions)
Former UCLA Students (including alumni and summer sessions)
UCLA Faculty or Staff Members
UCOP or UC Merced Staff Members
Contractors
Bruincard holders

Is it just me or does the dgsom financial aid page look different? They used to have a big sign that says ~98% of our students receive some form of aid or something like that but i cant find it anywhere now.

 

[eggplant05]

I’m regular WL and I have a UID!

 

[artemisqueen]

Regular waitlist with a UID!

Can one of you click on "I have a 9-digit UID", try entering your info, and share what the next page says?

Probably bc a lot of admitted students got packages with loans only and many spoke with financial aid about how misleading that number was. I think that number was very outdated.

Big red banner that says “your login id wasn’t found”

EDIT although it seems to be allowing me to create one… not sure I am brave enough to do that just yet

Does anyone else on the waitlist not have a number assigned to them?

 

[carpe_diem_to_medschool]

For those who have UID #s updated, I see it as a good sign! The fact that they've made a change to your portal with a university associated identifiable ID # can't be a bad thing

I’m just surprised they would give some WL students a number and others not RIGHT before waitlist movement starts. Especially since I’m sure they know how neurotic premeds are and will try to decipher a meaning behind it 😂. Either way it likely also doesn’t mean anything at all so please don’t let this worry you!

Aww thank you purple! I'm trying my best not to put any thought into it. If there are any accepted students who still don't have a UID# on their portal, come thruuuuu please 🙏

also my friend emailed admissions about the MSAR 250 people accepted off the waitlist thing and the admissions people confirmed that it was misreporting and that they’re going to contact AAMC to get it fixed. They didn’t mention what the actual number was

Yeah, errors on MSAR are extremely common. Schools don't keep it updated for some reason...

 

[heir_of_snakes]

Did anyone who didn't have a UID a couple days ago suddenly get a UID?

 

[gh0stgurl]

Idk how long it’s been there but my UID from undergrad populated

 

[purple3081]

is there anyone else on the WL who doesn’t have one?

 

[workblurbs2025]

I'm a regular WL and now have a IUD. As others have said, I have no idea what this means

Edit: lol I don't have a contraception device, I have a UID!
