I'm applying! Who else? 🙂
Members don't see this ad.
 
BEST OF LUCK!

It's an amazing school and has SO much to offer!

Hopefully I'll see some of you at interviews!
 
I'm applying but I think it'll be a long shot. Isn't their undergrad a huge feeder to the dental school?

ehh, it's all about confidence. If you're appealing, you're appealing. I don't think it matters :naughty:
 
long shot, keep fingers crossed
 
Anyone get the secondary yet?

If so, can you state whether you are OOS or IS.

I think its strange that I have not received a secondary, I'm IS 👎
 
Nope, no secondary yet. Still waiting.
 
No secondary here either. But my AADSAS app hasn't been sent so I'm not expecting a secondary until that is sent. Hopefully 3rd batch for me.
 
Last year I was first batch and the secondary came out on July 17th. If that helps.

Go BRUINS!

OOS Received it on tuesday.

I really think they are sending the supplement to everyone by order of when they received the apps.

Supplemental application received last night.

Received the supplemental yesterday afternoon. It's relatively long, but this is nothing compared to Uminn :laugh:

I'm first batch and IS.

All those who have received supplemental: Are you all from the first batch?
 
Wow, it's hard to believe you guys are interviewing for the class of 2018 already. I'm starting to feel a little old lol

Anyways, anyone interested in an ARMY scholarship? It's a pretty good deal (100% tuition/books/kit and monthly stipend). Send me a PM and I can give you more information and connect you with a recruiter.

And in case anyone was wondering, I don't get paid to recruit. I do need a new paddleboard though 😀
 
Hey guys, goodluck with this application cycle. I will be starting out my first year this september, but in the meantime, if you have any question about the application process just let me know 🙂

See y'all at interviews!

A lesson I learned from UCLA this cycle is that it'll test your patience! As a large public, they lumber along. They're also very selective with interviews, so they begin later than most other schools, and go well into Spring (late Feb/March).

If you have any questions, feel free to ask.
 
Received my supplemental app today! I was second batch.
 
For those who've received supplemental already, did you guys have everything sent? My application is mailed out but I'm missing one recommendation and haven't received a supplemental app yet :/
 
Damn.. I was third batch, and haven't received the supplementals yet :/

second batch just received it 10 days ago. You should get it this week. It's still really early👍
 
How long did it take for UCLA to cash your guys' checks? I submitted my supp and mailed out the check on the 15th, just looking for a time window to watch out for. I never trust snail mail!
 
I called and spoke to admissions and was told the lady who downloads the apps was on vacation and will be back this week and that 3rd batch hadn't been downloaded yet but should be this week.
 
Sorry I know I've already posted about this, but I'm having major issues saving the completed pdf for the supplemental app... I go to print it but it literally has no option for "save as pdf"

Any advice??

I think you have to print it, then scan it and save your scanned document as a PDF file. I don't think you can save the original.
 
Did anyone get a confirmation email of some sort after emailing their secondary? I emailed mine yesterday morning and didn't receive anything.

I thought that check in date was absurd. But its better to follow their guidelines rather than annoying them I suppose.

haha, yea it's a long gap of time to wait and find out your app is incomplete.
 
Just got the supplemental request!
 
Also third batch and supplement today too.
 
They don't even start reviewing apps till September... thus the 8/23 date. There's no point in worrying before then
 
Is anybody adding more information in the additional comments section of the secondary?

While other schools suggest using additional comments sections to talk about yourself as an applicant, UCLA's secondary seems like they just want the space to be used for explaining unusual circumstances.

"This space is provided to allow you to describe any additional information you would like the Committee to consider or aspects of your application which you think may seem confusing or incomplete as they are stated elsewhere. You may also use this space to explain factors which may have had a negative effect on some aspect of your performance."

I got that impression too, so I just left it blank.

Like I said in another forum...

I don't think they read it... I wrote:

"If you are looking for someone that can throw a mean Cinco De Mayo party, then I'm your guy!"

I'm pretty sure you can write whatever you want.
 
3 questions...

1)When you all are filling in your secondary are you running out of space in any boxes? I am able to type what I need to but once I click out of the box, one would be unable to read everything typed in it (like if I were to print the screen). Is this okay or do I need to shorten my inputs?

2)Also, would it be a negative thing to select "Do not contact employers"? The only reason I'd want to check this is because I don't want my current employer to know yet that I am applying to dental school.

3)Lastly, are you all putting the full address for everything or just the town and city?

Thanks to anybody that can help me👍

I shortened my answers to fit into the window... They will not be able to read any answer that is below the window.

Just put that they can contact your employers. I am very close with all of my employers and they weren't contacted. I asked each one. Don't worry about it. I think it looks worse if you say no.

Put the whole address (as close to it as you can)

Best of luck! Hopefully I'll see you on your tour!
