anyone know how large UCLA's transfer class will be? I'm a HUGE long shot and I'd like to get my hopes up...

i've been wondering the same...according to arrow's thread (link below)...UCLA's transfer class was about 30-40. Again, that number was from another year and I am not sure what the recent trend is

Hey,

Current UCLA Law student. Just finished my 1L year. I obviously didn't transfer in here, so I don't know much about the process. But I can tell you quite a few people dropped out, so there should be a fair number of spots. In my big section (2 of 8 sections combined) I would say at least 6 people dropped out. UCLA is great, but extremely competitive. That is just the nature of the student body. I think the people dropped out due to the competition and the shock of getting bad grades.

I can answer basic questions if anyone has any about the school.

Application just went complete so I am checking in. I just got in to WUSTL last week and I will likely go there since they are giving me money, and I think the school atmosphere is really nice. However, my fiance said I need to give UCLA a chance. I think I am a huge long-shot, but hey...I already paid the fee.

Sidenote: I grew up hating USC.

congrats on WUSTL! UCLA or USC are my top choices so far so I'm hoping for either; also applying ND

h2oplyer7 · Post by **h2oplyer7** » Sat Jun 22, 2013 3:45 pm

Thanks! I applied to ND as well. ND might be the most beautiful campus I have ever seen. Can't beat the SoCal weather though.

yeah i agree with you on both. have you heard of anyone hearing back from UCLA yet?

h2oplyer7 · Post by **h2oplyer7** » Sat Jun 22, 2013 3:51 pm

I only got the email from Laura Castillo that decisions are rolling and could take up to the end of July. That's all I know. If I get in, I am sure I will be the last on the list since my numbers are not the highest.

i can't speak of your chances...im not too sure how to gauge who has a good shot or not. but coming from a T1 you might not be dead in the water...what do i know, though

but yeah i got the same email confirming my app was complete. on last year's thread people heard back within days of going complete (even those who went complete in July)

h2oplyer7 · Post by **h2oplyer7** » Sat Jun 22, 2013 3:59 pm

Well, the sooner the better. I don't like long waits, and it will be nice to know where I will be moving to.

Wow, end of July? That sucks. I really hope to know where I'm going in the next couple weeks.

i got in end of july last year...i didn't really care anymore since i was already planning on attending usc, but i imagine it would have been a rush to get everything in order with notice that late.

Do you recall when your app went complete?

end of june/early july. i remember the range was the same (i.e. same type of rolling admissions).

Gotcha. Thanks for the input man. What do you think are my chances coming from low T2/high T3 top 5.96%?

not bad. i think you have a 50/50 shot, depending on your school. top 6% at a t2 has a strong shot at usc/ucla; might not be enough coming from a t3, however.
