Let's get this party started. For all the future bruins...this is the place to be! I am so interested in getting to learn about all of you guys GO UCLA! Go BRUINS!!!!
PhotoGirl, you totally beat me. hahaha. I just opened a thread for UCLA and now I realized you were one step ahead of me. Oh well, I'll forgive for that as long as you will be nice in class hahahaha. Anyways, I cant wait to see other bruins joining the thread.
I am so excited...someone joined! Kelvin- I am always nice Can't wait to draw some more bruins here! Have you found about the second look date? The webite has not been updated. Anyways, Now we have a place to update!
Samwise, I love your signature This is soo true: "All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us." Congrats again! Welcome to the Cloud 9 Thread
where are my classmates??????? we should keep this thread alive guys. Anyways, second look weekend is on 04/21 and 22nd, anyone from OC that wanna carpool? and do we have to dress up formally again? gruhhhhh, I dont like to wear suits...
hey trying, I have no idea how it's gonna be. I think we should ask UCLAmedstudent. He seems very informative about this kind of thing.
2nd look is on the 21st (i will have to be there, even though I'm supposing to be presenting my research ) I think dress code will not be business formal...and its LA....c 'mon (how formal does it get here I'm so excited...can't wait to meet you all!
waddup you guys!! i'm dreadfully uninformed, so what's happening in march or april or whatnot? is that the weekend for people who are so damn talented that they have to be convinced and persuaded to go to ucla? anyways, if it's an opportunity to head down to la, see friends, meet you all--and destroy my liver--i'll see you all there. -minh
thanks PG. looks like im gonna miss out. i wish these schools would coordinate second looks, even if it means some were during the weekdays
sorry kelvin, already booked my flight for hopkins. you guys better let me know how much fun you had in la!
Trying, If you choose Hopkins over UCLA, I''ll make sure during winter time, a post-card will be sent your way with a picture of me, of course hahaha, and maybe photogirl and a bunch more M1 sunbathing at Santa Monica beach LOL. jk. Well, I hope you will have fun at Hopkins too. Let us know how it goes.
I have this ~40 yo tennis partner. He's a pretty successful (married, children, happy, rich & a great serve) businessman with dif pharms. In all likelihood, a pretty credible source of information about the medical field. When he found out I was going to ucla med (his alma mater), he gave me a high five and told me in the most straightforward and judicous voice: "There's a lot of ***** in LA." Take that to heart, trying, when you pack those parkas and snowpants for Baltimore. It's not to late to send in a letter of intent (and retract one..).
hahaha you guys are great. if my potential hopkins classmates aren't even half a fun, i might have to rethink this
Yeah...great idea! I'll even take the picture to send to trying...come on, you know you want to come to paradise
Congrats to all those who got in! Recruitment Weekend was fantastic last year, you have a lot to look forward to! Its a great taste of what med school is like!
I just wonder why UCLA doesn't ask us to send in deposit to keep our spots like other schools do. Anyone knows?
Have fun visiting the University of Spoiled Children... apparently they lack some funding, as they did not have the money to send me a rejection letter. Rather they asked that I "download the decision letter from my status page..." Too bad you USC foofooheads! I forgot my password--that's how impt you are to me... Go UCLA
samwise2, you can be my partner in crime at UCLA. hahahaha. Cant wait to meet u during second look weekend.
Hi Guys: Have any of you received any word as of yet regarding second look weekend or any mail from UCLA. It seems such a long silence since we were accepted. Anyways, look forward to seeing you all at second look.
hey all, spoke to someone today and she said i should let everybody know the second look stuff should be available online through your login page within the next three days or so. looking forward to it, sam ps--does anyone (girl) want to split a hotel room? let me know if you do--pm me. i need to get up a bit on the early side to work out daily, but i will be quiet i promise!
Bruins Rock! Just checking in...hopefully more people will join our thread soon (another wave of status changes was sent)
What login page are we talking about? Is it the link on the bottom of the accepted students page for the checklist? I feel like I'm missing something. Has anyone recieved anything regarding second look?
It's about time to have more people joining this thread. Welcome those accepted in the second batch. Please introduce yourself!!!!
Status Change has been updated (officially) with Second Look Info, including the schedule and a letter from Dr. Levy. You can RSVP online Can't wait to meet y'all. PG
i just got mine the other day and it's going to cost me 50 big a year?! isn't this a public school? anyways, if they're gonna charge private school prices they had better treat me like an ivy league kid. i want inflated grades and grilled salmon damnit!
Assuming you too are OOS? Who needs grilled salmon when there is awesome Mexican food? Ivy League food sucks
hey guys, Just got my acceptance letter today. UCLA definitely stood out in my interviews as my favorite school. Anybody else trying to decide between UCLA and UCSF or Yale by chance?
Well, for those that r very sure to go to UCLA, please visit this thread below and share your condolences to our future classmate, Ryan Murphy and his family. Thank you guys. http://forums.studentdoctor.net/showthread.php?t=386213
Thanks for letting us know about this kelvin! I also encourage everyone (sure or not sure about attending UCLA) to post in Ryan's thread.
I apparently just got it at my permanent address in orange county yesterday (I'm temporarily on the east coast right now). Are you out of the state right now?
i think it was 960. but i just read that if you choose to go for the two person townhouse they can set you up with someone. the single person townhouse was like 30 bucks more. and the two person apartment was around 940. hope this helps. from the pictures the place looks almost too nice. some kind of urban shangrila fortress. to be honest, it's too close to campus for me. and we're talking about weyburn here.
I already finished my housing application before receiving the housing package. I put down studio as my priority.
Hi all..... Has anyone submitted the SIR/SLR things yet? I am still waiting on just one school that, if they accept me, might sway me away from UCLA, and I'm a little afraid that the SIR (statement of intent to register) is "binding". Anyone know? Other than that, happy to meet you all!
Don't let the cacaphony of myriad admissions offers distract you--come to UCLA!!! I would call the registrar and ask them if it is binding, but I don't think it is, from memory of filling it out. I think there was some notation on the page that you could withdraw it if you changed your mind. Best of luck!
I got my housing offer email on Fri. (04/06) and they asked me to go to some link to accept the offer. When I clicked on it, there was some glitch during my log-in. I had no idea what happened but later on, it showed that I already accepted the offer. So basically I had no idea what the offer was. In my housing application, I put down studio as my preference. Does it mean I got the studio or it could be something else? Did this happen to other people? I m thinking to call them on monday and see what's going on.
