Yeah. You can apply for it for your 2nd and 3rd year.Lawgirl101 wrote:mec896 wrote:Which is why I initially tried to negate his assertion it would repeat and he again assured it should not change.avd12 wrote:From most schools I've talked to need aid can change.

I knew that UT would grant in-state, but I didn't realize that UCLA could/would do that too?

Re: UCLA Class of 2018
I didn't mean to imply they haven't been nice. They've been totally nice, they just don't seem as forthcoming and their admit/scholly decisions seem all over the place. Anyway, I haven't had to interact a ton so YMMV. Maybe I've just been reading to much TLS whining!avd12 wrote:I have to second this. UCLA has put up with my emails (my many, many emails).

Re: UCLA Class of 2018
All schools (except WUSTL) play hardball when it comes to aid, regardless of niceties and manners. Don't take it personally when they seem cold or deceptive at times. You're just a set of numbers to them.

Re: UCLA Class of 2018
So if you pay the 1st deposit, does that mean you have to immediately withdraw from all other schools you've been accepted to, or still waiting to hear back from, or been waitlisted from?

Re: UCLA Class of 2018
LSAC rules dictate a school cannot force you to withdraw from wait lists or pull applications from schools you haven't heard back from. I think you may only run into issues of you double deposit, though I have not seen any language from UCLA forbidding double depositing, and I would guess they should expect it considering they are not negotiating until after seat deposits.acat10 wrote:So if you pay the 1st deposit, does that mean you have to immediately withdraw from all other schools you've been accepted to, or still waiting to hear back from, or been waitlisted from?

No increase for me. Wasn't expecting anything more, but it was worth a shot. I'm still going to UCLA though

Checking in! Just withdrew from my other schools. Very relieved to be done with the whole process.

Are you guys looking at the university housing or looking to find an apartment on your own?

I'm looking to find one on my own. Mostly because of the cost but also because there are neighborhoods I think I prefer over Westwood. You?

I'm going to stick with the university apartments my first year if I get offered a studio I think. If not, I'll look for one on my own.hpocket wrote:I'm looking to find one on my own. Mostly because of the cost but also because there are neighborhoods I think I prefer over Westwood. You?
