Anybody want to volunteer and ask the admissions people if the "majority" of decisions are WL?

I no longer want to hear their lies but I'd love to hear them through you guys.

Thanks!
 
If my letter doesn't come today, I don't think I can handle another day of waiting. It's eating me up inside.
 
omg my status says 'check back later'
gonna...have...heart....attack....
 
meh....false alarm. anybody get an update though?
 
so. cal here. not in the mail today.

another 24 hours of torture.
 
I am still stressed waiting to hear about you guys!

I wish they didnt tell you when the letter was sent...it causes preventable psychological distress... 😳

good luck!:luck:

seriously. or at least you should be able to be put in an induced coma or something until it comes. My letter's not even in the mail and I'm freaking out.
 
still not in socal? are they sending it via pony express or something? why must they send the letters via the slowest route possible!! it seems that everything the admissions office does is intended to prolong our misery
 
if you go to ucla as an undergrad, you could try logging into ursa. if you don't see a popup from the med school, means either your waitlisted/hold/rejected.
 
No I didn't, people were talking about them and I just didn't know what they were. So UCLA doesn't reject people initially, just puts them on hold?
 
why wouldnt they just reject, it makes no sense to "hold" people if you know you are rejecting them..that is just sadistic.

if you're on hold, i think they are still considering you, after they hear from others...gluck!

after an interview 4 things can happen to you.

acceptance
unranked wl
hold - 2nd wl
rejection

basically, anything past the unranked wl just means a rejection. i dont think anyone has come off their 2nd wl in a few years, but hey you never know.
 
Oh. That's sort of depressing. Thanks for the info 🙂 :luck: to everybody. Congrats Lady2Doc!
 
To all the UCLA undergrads who have already been accepted to the med school: when you log into URSA, did you see some type of notification that you had been accepted???
 
Nothing yet again in SoCal here. I think I'm emotionally drained. I've resigned myself to expect a non-acceptance so I'm oddly unemotional now.

I JUST got the letter (well my mom did). It's so stupid. You have to let them know whether you want to be considered in their unranked W/L. Doesn't make much sense. At least now I can move on with my life, and from this thread and i guess finally from Los Angeles smog.😀 Best of luck to the rest of you waiting:luck:

Did your status change to letter sent on 3/18? I'm just wondering how you got your letter today and no one else did. Maybe you're just luckier than the rest of us!
 
no mail either...
 
ugh, still no status change for me...

i called the admissions office a few minutes and asked them about this lack of status change. i was told that i was still under review and that i wouldn't hear back until april 15th. again, im not sure what to make of this but i've definitely lost some hope...

how are you holding up bruinator? any updates for you?
 
that i wouldn't hear back until april 15th.

so ucla is one of those schools that do mailings once a month? i haven't paid any attention until now (that i have been checking my status page 10 times a day😛)...

i would go so far to say that those of us w/o status changes should be hopeful...with the waitlists coming out, no news is good news at this point it seems, no? or is there reason to be worried?
 
so far the 4-5 people that got responses after having their letter sent on 3/18 have all been placed on the unranked waitlist. i think it's safe to assume that the rest of the letters sent on that day are all the same.
 
Please allow 5 working days for receipt of any written notifications
 
*sigh*

Even if that's true, it's still a positive thing. An unranked waitlist is better than a flat out rejection.
 
hmm..does anyone find it strange that there were no rejections? does that mean they are still coming? wah, this waiting game makes you kind of crazy...i was all calm two minutes ago... *sigh*
 
its funny how we all flat out don't believe the info the admissions office gives us
 
SoCal here. Letter Sent 3/18 and just got it. Its an unranked waitlist.
 
THAT'S 6 unranked waitlists for letters sent 3/18.

since the first batch has acceptances, and this current batch seems to have mainly unranked waiting lists, i'm assuming the next batch will carry the flat out rejections (since it doesn't seem that ANY of these have been given out yet). so while no news is usually good news, i think that it might be bad news for UCLA, considering the types of decisions that have already gone out.
 
Why are some people in SoCal getting their letters and I'm not? I don't understand.😡

haha yeah that's what i was thinking. at first, i was somewhat glad that i didn't get one but now i wish that my status did change along with the rest of you.
 
oh good lord... 😱 i think i will stop checking my status page now... perhaps being oblivious would be better...
 
now im even more worried that i didnt get a letter today. last year, people first got the unranked waitlist, then got rejected/hold.
 
Irangelez, everything you say is negative. I don't like reading your posts because they make me depressed.
 
im sorry koolbeenz.

i will try to be more optimistic.
 
ya, but then there were more acceptances at the end of March. It was just that there were two batches of rejections/waitlists around the 20th/22nd. stay positive! I don't think they've come close to filling the class yet
 
Thanks nawla! You've lifted my spirits. 😀
 
FUCLA!

got the waitlist letter...

To all waitlisted or even rejected (myself included though I didn't get the mail today), keep your heads up!

Most of us who did interview at UCLA probably were good enough applicants to already get in somewhere else or many places else. Yea, it sucks not being able to come back to California/LA/Home but you know what, we're all going to be doctors and that's something I am super thankful for!

You people going to UCLA, you lucky dogs you :laugh:

But to the rest of us, we're going into a profession that is going to demanding, but at the same time probably extremely rewarding and THAT'S something that I can't WAIT for, no matter what school I'll be going to (hint: cold, midwest, Wisconsin). 🙂

Bring on the WL/H/R or on the slight chance acceptance but I wish all of you great luck whether you're at UCLA or not! This will probably be my last post unless I get in so it was awesome being a part of this thread (i know this is a bit melodramatic and over the board, but that's who I am 😀)!

Aww, that made me feel all warm and fuzzy inside. Good luck on your last final. And congratulations on graduating from UCLA!

And if I don't get any good news from UCLA, UCD or LLU, I'll be joining you in the cold, Midwest (Chicago). *Brrrrrrr!*
 
Well said! That was kind of emtional to read! Even though I dont know you guys, I still feel connected because we are going through this aweful process together!

I would be so honored to be your classmate!

Nothing here. I'm not really expecting anything until mid april, since i interviewed in mid february and they said it'd take about 2 months...

Word. Thats where I'll be headed if UCLA doesn't come thru 4 me. Whats another four years of blistering cold weather.

After a rejection from my last med school, I feel pretty darn good about the prospect of being wait listed at UCLA. 😀
