I just called UCLA and the guy gave me the standard, "The class is full," line. He said there has been no movement for 3 weeks. I think, in light of what we know about openings, they are just telling people that the class is full, no matter what.

WOW!!!! CONGRATS CEEZ!!!!!! 
who knows you might have gotten peasontoast's place in the class 🙂
i called the office a couple hours ago. they gave me the "class is full" line. but also the fact that waitlist movement was much slower than usual this year and that there are still 100 people on the waitlist! Looking as how Ceez got in hopefully a couple more of us will get lucky before school starts.

Wow..that's pretty cool to see the waitlist movement in action.
I wonder if both peasontoast and ceez are SIMILIAR...
Are you guys URM? Or Similiar backgrounds? Or similiar undergrad experiences.
Cuz UCLA seems to choose people from the list to "preserve diversity"
Congrats Ceez!
you the man 🙂

Ceez,
Thanks for the info. And, OMG, CONGRATS CONGRATS on your acceptance today. It must feel great.🙂 Now that you're in, can you do us still waiting a favor of calling the office and asking if they're planning on accepting more this week? I feel like they would feel more comfortable releasing this info to you since you're already in...

I've heard of people getting called within the first couple days of school, but I would pack my bags because those chances are slim to none for any particular person.

why would they accept on the week of orientation? is it because someone just didnt show up? why would they not show up? can a student switch schools if they get a phone call from another school during the week of orientation?

i talked to the admissions ppl last friday afternoon. when i asked when is the last day i should wait for, the admissions director lily said they officially drop us from the waitlist the friday of orientation week. i asked when's the last day to wait for and she repeated what she said. she then asked me for my phone number 3 times, once to know, second to ask when i gave it, and third time to triple check on my file. i have no idea why she would do that except there still might be hope. what do you think scooby?

Well, everyone, congrats to those of you who have gotten accepted off the waitlist, especially Ceez since you were the most recent🙂 I think Scooby is right and that those of us not pulled off should plan on going somewhere else. I don't really know what to think about this waitlist anymore and honestly, I do not think about it that much anymore. I am kinda sad that ucla starts orientation tommorrow but I'm sure I'll be over it soon. Anyways, good luck to everyone and let us know what happens this week! 🙂

Yea..I wouldn't hold my breath. If I were you...I would wait until Tuesday then call her back again and ask her if there is any hope. If she repeats what she says again..then just wait until friday...good luck.

thank you mr d.
i went to the ucla admissions office today at 2pm and they said everyone showed up for orientation, and there is no more waiting for waitlisted applicants, and that they will send out rejection letters this friday or beginning of next week.
i was wondering, why would they say everyone showed up to orientation if mr d withdrew today? do you think they are lying to me again? did anyone take mr d's spot early in the morning?

hey yaoming...
i called this morning for the hell of it and they told me the same thing that they hold on to the waitlist until friday. i don't think they want to say that they have openings since it just gives you a sense of hope and i mean we're one on a list of 100...what's the chance ya know?
are you in at any other schools? cuz if you are i'd just start preparing for that and not worry about ucla. this waiting and hoping is just not healthy!
good luck to everyone on this thread wherever you're going. 🙂

Must be UCSF. I thought Mr.D was gonna attend UCI based on his posts in the UCI countdown thread. So we actually have Zealous, 5279, Ceez, Mr.D, and a few more SDNers who got in off the waitlist. Wow, SNDers rule!!

I'm so sorry everyone, but I am the guilty party. I got the call from Lily this morning on my cell phone. I've been out all day, otherwise I would've posted earlier.
Mr. D., God Bless You!!!! If it wasn't for you, I would be reapplying right now!!!
I was on 3 waitlists with no acceptances and all 3 schools started orientation today. Friday, I called all 3 schools and was told there was little hope of being taken off the waitlist. This weekend I made my peace with the fact that my dream of being a doctor would be pushed back yet another year, and I would have to apply for a third time. But at 10:30 this morning, my whole life changed!!!
I wish all of you good luck and whatever happens, never give up hope!

hey guys...
if i don't get off the UCLA waitlist, I'm going to USC...what about you? I really like USC too..but obviously the lower tuition, better ranking, and better fit make UCLA my #1 choice overall. i've been waitlisted at UCSF, Penn, Columbia, BU, and Duke as well. But I really want to be in LA or definitely Cali for med school, so am not holding out for the East Coast ones.
ack, I want to be a bruin!!

I'm planning on going to USC too if UCLA doesn't take me off the waitlist. I actually like USC better but I'd be stupid to decline the savings in tuition. I really like UCLA but I'm an undergrad here and I've had a number of courses in the medical school classrooms. I don't know if I can stand another 4 years at the same place. If I didn't go to UCLA undergrad, it would definitely be my number one choice!
