No one's worried about the lawsuit affecting UCLA, right?

i noticed a UID number pop up in my portal last week and regular WL yesterday. does the UID mean anything, or does everyone get that number

I noticed I have one too. Anyone on the WL not get one?

Edit: From what I read in previous threads; those without an UID typically don't get accepted. This doesn't mean the opposite is true; it still depends how many accepted applicants decline. It likely means they're treating you as a higher priority.

I don't think this is true

 

[tired-1]

I don't think this is true

I agree -- I've had a UID since before I received my interview invite (I have never attended any of the UCs).

 

[flautas]

I don't think this is true

Also agree. I dont see an ID anywhere for me and I got the top of WL e-mail

I think that meant they already chose you for an interview, but needed more dates available before they could invite you.

UCLA's page said all admitted, interviewed, and WL'd students get one. But I think they're still missing people and will get everyone they need to by April 30th. I'm basing this on last year's thread where people who didn't get an IUD by April 30th not getting in.

This is pure conjecture, so take it with a grain of salt.

Are you near the top of the WL? Or regular?

Regular.

While I have your attention, are you guys not worried about the lawsuit affecting UCLA? I'm not talking about the grants that the Trump Administration lost, I'm talking about the one towards the Medical School by Do No Harm and Students For Fair Admissions (SFFA). SFFA won a lawsuit against Harvard for the same 14th Amendment violation they're suing DGSOM for. I've been reading up on it and it doesn't look good for UCLA.
1. Whistleblowers on the adcom filed complaints against Jennifer Lucero and UCLA had a chance to investigate internally, but they refused to give the whistleblowers protection, effectively shutting down the internal investigation.
2. The DOJ filed a motion to intervene in the lawsuit and was supposed to have a hearing on 2/28 but the judge approved it ahead of the hearing.
3. The motion to dismiss the lawsuit got denied on 12/16.

I really want to attend this school but this lawsuit is freaking me out.

 

[premedlightyagami]

Interesting. I think certainly it doesn't look very good for UCLA, and the reputational hit is probably real. But then again, I think the admin targetting them is also a concern, especially since they have so many open investigations and now multiple lawsuits lol

Even more so for us since Geffen was adamant his scholarship was merit-based and if these accusations are true, it means Geffen's money didn't go to students based on merit so we shouldn't count on him to renew the scholarship anytime soon.

IMO he will not be renewing his endowments anytime soon....

Damn it, Lucero. Why'd you have to ruin it for the rest of us!? 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

+1 pre-II IS R emailed at 11:03 AM PDT. Complete 07/20, LM 82.90.

 

[MsLeafpool]

+1 pre-II OOS R complete late aug

 

[premedlightyagami]

Based on Admit, it looks like UCLA isn't doing post-II rejections at this point even though they usually do. They must be holding onto a larger WL to account for the yield depression of not paying for admit day lodging and the lawsuit.

 

[loophua]

i'm still waiting on my pre-ii rejection 💀

you should be getting it today because a bunch of pre and post-II Rs are coming out today.

 

[azsxdcqwerty]

What are we all doing about financial aid? Can someone tell me more about taking out private loans for this school?

 

[azsxdcqwerty]

Does anyone have insight into OOS obtaining CA residency by MS2? I heard it can be difficult?

 

[azsxdcqwerty]

How much can we expect to pay for housing per month? I was reading an older article that said a majority of first-year med students live in Weyburn

 

[lotusflwr]

Does anyone know when merit scholarships like Leaders of Tomorrow and LA Cares are being released?

 

[soulvester]

Can any accepted student provide info on their financial aid plan and how it compares to your other schools? Thank

 

[googlecalendar]

any merit scholarships released at all??

What are the realistic chances for someone to get off the regular waitlist?

As a Regular WL, I am treating it as an R, unfortunately. I think it will be super slim, especially cause last year not all HPWL were accepted 🙁

 

[User1776]

I think there's going to be a lot of movement based off GroupMe numbers declining and the financial situation. Stay posted for April 30th...

What financial situation? Did something happen?

 

[fakeeagle]

What financial situation? Did something happen?

Very expensive area, school doesn't have much money for aid, and federal loans are capped far below the necessary amount, leaving people scrambling to cover the difference.

 

[Isagi]

We wait until 4/30!

 

[applesauce!]

Withdrew my A (OOS), good luck everyone!

 

[nontradmedic95]

It begins... A reported on admit.

 

[polymerization]

+1 OOS A, HPWL

So overwhelmingly grateful.

 

[Isagi]

IS A!!!!!!! I am literally crying, my dream school!

 

[User1776]

For people getting admitted, make sure to go to the accepted students webpage to join the class GroupMe! Congratulations, everyone!

 

[clownfish14]

+1 A IS!!!

 

[xenapie6]

+1 A IS!!! Could someone send me the group me link?

Did you receive it earlier at 10:30ish like the others or just now?

 

[clownfish14]

Around 10:30–just checked my email now tho

 

[treev]

Is everyone who got an A today HPWL?

 

[saltykiosk]

HPWL IS A!

 

[xenapie6]

Is everyone who got an A today HPWL?

From the looks of it now & also based on last years trend today will be HPWL

 

[bpork13]

Im assuming if we haven’t gotten off the waitlist by 05/02, then it’s not happening?

Since whoever doesn’t refuse their acceptance today 04/30 is going to attend and those who got off the WL are definitely attending?

 

[User1776]

Has anyone received a call or only emails?

Congrats to all off the WL!!! I think they have 5 business days so weekend doesn't count. Based on last years thread it seems like it goes on til June but most WL movement stops mid May

 

[Easymoneysnipergg]

Looking to join the Groupme, but I can't find the link.. any pointers there?

In your acceptance email, go to the accepted students webpage. There is a hyperlink to GroupMe on there

 

[deleted1235217]

Do you think there’s a chance to hear anything over the weekend

 

[oolongtealover]

Has anyone accepted off the WL recieved their preliminary aid info yet?

 

[Isagi]

Yes, I have

 

[deleted1235217]

Is it safe to say if you’re on the WL it’s not happening
