just got the wonderful news that both final decision letters were sent to me on monday. i can just see the adcoms talking to each other over the phone, "this guy really thought he could get into our schools, hahaha!"...
no cali love here
 
I'm so sorry, dr45sdn. That is rough. 🙁
 
thanks uclastudent. congrats on all your acceptances and interviews though. i guess its time i started thinking about some of the positives of leaving california...anyone have any they can lend to help me feel better???

i77ac, How don't know how UCLA could reject an applicant post-secondary who got into UCSF? there admissions process is too erratic!!

honestly tho, i wouldnt be too surprised about this; they know you got into ucsf, yes, they know, and know you will likely choose it over their school unless you wrote an in depth letter of intent to them or something; On the other hand, i have no ca interviews yet and they gave me the boot; i guess i suck more than i thought...

Hey I've pronounced it that way too! 😀

And uh yeah, this sucks. At least whatever school I go to probably has ample parking.

no kidding huh. i actually would consider ucla over ucsf, since i'm from so cal.















actually, nah...
 
did you guys getting post interview rejections or post sec? just curious
 
me too + rejected from ucsd yesterday + davis last week
 
How did you guys find out your final decision letters were sent? My status page hasn't changed . . . ever. I'm still pre-secondary. 😕

the status page changed today, saying "final decision letter sent." since i had no interview, it has to be rejection.

full ride at mayo....jeez! they prolly just decided to admit you without an interview. 😀
 
I'm still pre-secondary with big blank screens on the status page....doesn't exactly inspire hope....
 
Man, that's rough.

I just checked my status page for UCLA. *(&$#*(&($# I got rejected post-secondary too. Oh well. 🙁

were you rejected pre-secondary or pre-interview?? when were you complete? and did you find out through the status page?

what were your stats... below avg, avg, above avg?? i'm curious cuz mine are below avg to avg.

i've been complete for a few weeks... haven't heard post-secondary.

I wonder why they're sending all these post-secondary rejections, but aren't sending out pre-secondary rejections. At least it doesn't seem like anyone is pre-secondary. Regardless, I'm with you. Totally uninspired. 👎

haha. i'll definately let you know if that happens. 😀
 
man, i just got the boot from ucla too.
 
anyone else that got the boot from ucla today (post secondary) care to share their stats? i thought i had a chance for an interview, but i guess my GPA did me in as i should have expected. 3.5 overall, 3.5 sci, 35 mcat
 
on my ucla status, it also says final decision letter sent 1/10. I lived in LA but didn't get any rejection letter by snail mail. Anyone got the big R letter by snail mail?

I don't think anybody received the actual rejection letter, yet. People are assuming that "a final decision letter sent" without an interview being requested is a rejection. 👎

I am kind of surprised by that too. I live like a mile away from the medical school and still no letter in the mail.

Wow! I, too, just checked my UCLA status and have been rejected post-secondary! (And I got into UCSF last month) I don't get it, but oh well!

Don't worry, NorCalGirl, you still got in somewhere awesome! 👍 Is UCSF your top choice?
 
So many rejections, sorry guys. Just remember that this process is so so erratic. I just heard of two people with mediocre stats and ecs and out of state residency that had interviews last week. I'm expecting to be rejected soon.... my hopes are not up anymore.

Has anyone found out that they were granted an interview recently? Does that come by mail or email? And is the website updated before that info is sent out, or after?
 
website is updated first then the letter is sent.

Well I didn't really have a top choice. I just wanted a CA school so this is good! Good luck to everyone waiting! 🙂
 
wow everyone, i am REALLY sorry. this is a massacre that ranks up there with the northwestern and stanfurd ones.
keep your heads up as best you can. good luck
 
hey, can i join the reject club? this is my first rejection and surprisingly, i'm not that bothered.

i'm really sorry guys. ookla doesn't know what it's missing!

33, 3.6 at cal...double major ...post sec rejection...status page and complete on 10/14
 
i was just wondering..do each of the uc's give a little preference to their own students (ie. irvine giving preference to irvine students over other uc students). thanks!

i don't think so. i have a 3.95/35 and i'm on hold at uci where i'm currently attending. i don't think my overall application is that bad. i got rejected by ucla and ucd. interviewed at ucsf and got into ucsd. i was actually a little surprised that i got put on hold at uci. i expected at least an interview from them.
 
today, I got a thin envelope from ulca ----For:

unpaid parking ticket: they fined me 81 bucks


wondering if this is better than the big R letter 😕
