Cool; if you don't mind, keep us posted!

Absolutely. I will just be sitting on my hands waiting to hear on my other applications, so I need to kill time somehow.

[Yeezus]

I assumed there was a better than even shot I wouldn't get into anything. I really just didn't know.

You have to be kidding me. With a 3.9 and 173, you're going to be in pretty much everywhere, and get at least one of HYS.

I applied on 10/7 and received an acceptance call on 10/9. I couldn't believe it. I applied to a good number of schools, and really didn't know what to expect. I assumed there was a better than even shot I wouldn't get into anything. I really just didn't know. So this was an amazing start to this process, and hopefully a sign of good things to come. Even if it's not a portent, I'm beyond thrilled: UCLA is an awesome school.

That's awesome! Congrats!

My call was also from the Dean. He said there would be a letter coming in the mail + an email in the next week or so that would contain more info and some "preliminary scholarship information", whatever that means.

We have the same complete date. BRB not getting anything done for a while.

Ahhhhhhhhhhh, hopefully you'll get a call today too! Today is a holiday for my university, so I just assumed most schools were closed and wasn't expecting anything to happen today. Totally took me by surprise.

Did my skype interview with UCLA today, I think the main purpose was to ask about my two different LSAT scores (159 --> 173). She asked directly if I took a class, I answered truthfully & said yes - does that mean I'll be rejected?

Probably not, just curious where it came from and why it was there. I'd say with a 173 you're in regardless.

Got mine yesterday. Same. I'm going to the NYC LSAC forum tomorrow and I know the admissions dean will be there. Tacky to bring it up?

During my interview she said scholarship stuff doesn't happen until January and they evaluate for merit based aid from your application

How long does it usually take to get receipt/complete email from UCLA after submitting my app in LSAC?
I'm growing anxious though it's only been two days since I clicked on the send button... !!

What are everyone's thoughts on the "Programmatic Contribution" section where they ask "if you believe you can make a distinctive contribution to a specific UCLA School of Law Specialization, Academic Program, Joint Degree, Law Review/Journal, or research in a particular subject area?"

My major is biomedical engineering, so I'm thinking about possibly touching on that, but I wanted to see if anyone else had written it/what they wrote about?

Thanks!
