Has anyone called, what's the last word?
I just called the admissions office to ask them when I should expect to hear back from them (I interviewed in September). The lady said that all the files are with the Dean right now so they are just waiting for him to take action. She also said that "there is no set date yet, but you should be in the first batch of decisions, and you will hear within the next couple weeks." Interpret that however you like!
more waiting I guess... 🙁

I broke down and finally called. "There's no set date. The Dean has the letters and they will begin sending them in the next few weeks. A change in your status page means the final letter has been sent."
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
i can't stand it anymore...
Is it sad that after reading these few posts, I went & checked my status page? haha..... here's to wishing and hoping!

GL ALL!

🙁 I don't know how much more of this I can take... They longer they make me wait, the more I want them! I think it's like a forbidden fruit thing, or maybe it's like smelling the pizza in the kitchen when you've been waiting at your table for what seems like hours already. Cmon, UCLA, I'm starving here... give me a bite!
Well, that seems good. All the dean has to do is sign those puppies, and they're off.
Six pages? You guys are driving me crazy. Everytime I check this thread, I think, "there's got to be good news."

How do you know he only has to sign them?

I don't. It's a Saturday 😉
Of course it is - that is the day I will receive the letter, you see. Right-o cheeri-o.
You're right. I don't know that. But, it's a good (and optimistic!) guess.
If our applications have been reviewed and decided upon by the committee, and, "the letters are with the Dean." I'm guessing he isn't going to be re-laboring over them solo. 2-min review and sign, 2-min review and sign. That's like... thirty of us an hour. This is based on what the Assoc. Dean told us at UCSF about the final step in their process... could be totally irrelevant.
I've moved into wanton, absurd speculation here. Just what this thread needs. 😛

Apparently Drew is releasing decisions by February 16th, and since Drew and UCR are essentially UCLA programs, there is, I presume, some form of communication between the admissions offices. Therefore, I believe my 17th February target is, well, on target. (Assuming mailed out 16th, and that you live a block from Westwood!)
Otherwise, the 20th, or the following Tuesday from the 16th, is the date that you might expect receipt of a letter on the East Coast.
This is all hypothetical, based on limited evidence, and even more limited knowledge of the US postal system. Interpret accordingly.

How did you find out Drew is releasing decisions on the 16th?
2nd that!
To be honest, Drew may send admissions decisions much earlier than UCLA...at this rate. Does anyone know when they will release decisions for their Jan group? It would be nice to know since I'm interviewing for Feb...we'll see how many spots are left by then 🙂

February 16th my dearest friends!
Again, based on the Drew information (see earlier posts).

Where are you getting Feb. 16th from? I believe you're getting it from another thread that was merely referring to an interview date.
I don't believe Drew has released any dates whatsoever regarding release dates of decisions post-interview.
More waiting, but I don't believe there is a set date or even a time frame. At this point the decision could come anytime.

The Drew and Geffen admissions processes are completely different. Just because Drew is (supposedly) releasing decisions on Feb. 16th does not mean that Geffen will.
UCLAstudent, I see on weather.com that it is 88 degrees in LA...can you please step outside for me and bask in the warm sunlight? The winter here is bleak, but sometimes when I close my eyes tight and when I stand next to the vent, I can feel the warmth too.
LOL...that's funny...
Anybody have any word if the dean finally got around to sign these wonderful letter.

Call me ignorant/wishful/delusional/etc, but I'm still hoping for some good news this week! 🙂 Hopefully in the form of a status page update, with letter soon to follow 🙂

Keep calm, my friend. It is but speculation. In response to your comment, however, it is based on a CALL to the admissions officers responsible for the Drew program, not an interview date as you (arbitrarily) suggest.
A release could come at any time, I agree.

Here's a fun time-occupier:
Go to the Accepted tab on the Admissions website and read through all the 2010 orientation materials, which include equipment requirements, information on the Human Body & Disease week-long course, and the social calendar (bowling, BBQs, white coat ceremony).
Oh, pomp and ceremony!

"By the end of the month."
The 2/23 date from last year is starting to seem all too real 🙂
GL to everyone waiting & GL to UCLA Admissions Office in getting everything together amist the pre-med info-request phone calls, of which I too am guilty (albeit, only one call made since I interviewed) 🙂

I couldn't help but called the admissions office today. THe lady said that they're a month behind and that decisions should start to come out on Feb. 15th. She couldn't tell me up to which interview date this first batch of letters include because it depends on whether the committee has reviewed your application yet. That's all I could get out of her and thought you guys should know.
....more waiting it is....so close yet so far!!!

10 days then...
See, it really depends who you talk to - the lady today told me "by the end of the month" (see above).
SOOOO, it's either (a) Feb 15 (b) by the end of the month or (c) TBD
GL everyone & here's hoping for 2/15 (a lucky day - my sister's birthday!)
😍 ucla 😍

😍 ucla 😍 There's so much conflicting information, it's hard to tell what's gonna happen.
I'd just say the whole process now seems a bit odd, considering they were on schedule till about 20 days ago.
Anyways, good luck to you all.

This is just a general question. Anyone from the south or east coast applied to UCLA? If accepted, what is the likelihood that you would go to the west coast to attend UCLA? It seems like a drastic move....but I was just wondering.....
G-luck to everyone waiting, just be patient (easier said than done)
🙂

UCLA is #3 on my list of schools that I interviewed at right now (Harvard and Penn are #1 and #2). I guess it'd be "drastic" but what's wrong with a little change? It is far away from family and such but I would love to establish a new set of friends and live somewhere other than the south for once. As much as people claim that the south's people are different, I find from personal experience that it is a generalization. There are rude and stuck up people here too.
2/23 is my birthday so it would definitely be amazing to get a nice birthday gift from UCLA 😉

Bump, of Scandinavian origin.
Guys, this waiting is becoming so painful...
...not necessarily because of the waiting, but because of all the different deadlines we keep getting...
Specially given that even indication before these delays came out was that they were ahead by about a month compared to last year (which was supposed to be a terrible year in terms of release dates).
OK, enough complaining

Nociceptors are firing. Who is the dean of David Geffen anyway? I have difficulty finding information about the admissions staff on the website.
I should note that PATIENCE, the word, comes from Latin PATIENTIA, from PATIENT- ('suffering'). Indeed, I am very patient.
I hope you get into Harvard so I don't have to be your UCLA classmate. You annoy me.

You are dear to my heart, friends.
hmmm... At least he was right about how we dislike people who don't like UCLA.
