168/3.6

sent 11/15. complete since 11/17...
I see those who applied way later than I did getting accepted...
still no word for me... I guess I am dinged or at best WL..

Almost the same stats here. 168 3.92. Except I've applied in late SEPT and complete since sometimes early october...

Should I be worried? They seem to have a pretty fast turn around this year and so far no a word. I know that my application is overall very good, I've gotten in faster than that at Berkeley, Cornell, Michigan, Gtown and a few others T20... (if no schools would have gotten back to me, I'd be freaking out about my PS-LORs-resume-etc. but I don't think there's anything wrong with those).

Thoughts?

I submitted on 11/2 (don't remember complete date right now), and I got an email around the week of the 20th asking me to clarify why I had checked I was convicted of a mistemeanor/ felony. I immediately emailed back and cleared it up, but I still haven't heard back from UCLA (169;3.89). Like you all, I've already heard back from G-town, Berk, NYU, and several other schools so I know it's not the rest of my app. Oh, well- can't win them all.

It can't hurt to call and ask?

UCLA has been super inconsistent this cycle in my experience. I got in literally the day after I applied in September, then had to jump through hoops to get scholly $$$. Meanwhile plenty of people with my numbers haven't even gotten in, and others with lower have some big $$$. I wouldn't put too much stock into it, although a LOCI at the new year might not be a terrible idea for those still waiting. They seem to like people who show interest and reach out to them (at least in my case after I was admitted).

[timeandspace11]

Im on the same boat as many of you. I submitted 11/15 and went complete 11/16. I too have heard nothing back. My numbers are borderline (168/3.55) so its possible they are waiting for December LSAT scores before making a decision on my app. Then again they may just be a bit inconsistent as some of you suggest.

[harveyfan]

I am in the same position! I applied 11/19 and my app. was complete on 11/20. I'm 169/3.83 and haven't yet heard back. It seems like there are quite a few of us with similar numbers and complete dates in this situation.

+1. 11/14 (168/4)

[poohbear26602]

I went complete 11/6 and am also low borderline at 3.75 167. I have a feeling they're going to give a lot of borderline novembers their decisions sometime late January after they've processed December. So don't panic. Yet haha

Bring on the New Year TLS. I'm gunna sip my champagne and wait with a hopeful smile

[kfischm1]

Just got the waitlist email. 169/4.14. Public interest focused. I submitted in September.

A little bit surprised. Maybe yield protect? I can't be too sad - I already have offers from two T-14s and several other T-14 acceptances. Going to send the withdraw letter soon.

Good luck to everyone!

WL today. 167/3.6

[goden]

Damn, mine must be coming soon

[elblufer]

Damn, mine must be coming soon

Let's hope we all get good news. From the above, it looks like I'll probably get a waitlist at best...

Sorry to hear that, with fewer applicants though you may eventualy get accepted. Does WL come via email?

yes email. UCLA is a great school. i thought i'd be WL. it isn't a top top choice (due to location) but an excellent LS nonetheless!

[dogsieik]

WL today via email. 176/3.23 so not too surprising; however, as a UCLA graduate I must scream et tu UCLA!!!

I wouldn't be worried... I'm a 168/3.72, double major, strongish softs, traditional student, and I got in with a $20k/yr scholly. I'm sure they're just going through it in batches and/or giving your apps a second (/3rd/4th/5th) review. Assuming you wrote a strong PS, have some good softs, and have no C&F issues I wouldn't be too concerned yet. Look on LSN, you guys are fairly in the happy green portion of UCLA (168 seems to be the magic LSAT number so far). I also submitted in mid November. Just give it time. I know the stress is awful

I don't understand UCLA I went complete on 11/19, 3.82/172 and I've heard nothing. Not trying to sound like a douche but wtf.

Maybe they know you're going to go to NYU or Columbia anyway so they figure "why bother?"

Eta: Do you actually want to go to UCLA?

Looks like a lot of YP to me. A sincere LOCI could completely change the game for a lot of you.
