UCLA is also my alma mater

sounds like yield protection

I bet that you'll get in if you stick around

edit: then again, those are historically perfect berkeley numbers, so that's probably what they're afraid of

should we be bracing ourselves for a waitlist or rejection

acceptances have really slowed down on lsn

Waitlisted today(submitted 2 months ago), so there's still some movement out there.

If and when I get more T14 scholarship offers (which may be quite low or quite few), I'll probably try to negotiate with UCLA. But seeing as I'm already offered 120k and I'm in-state, I feel sort of guilty for trying to improve on my fantastic 5k yearly tuition situation.

I wonder if they would look down on me for it, given my circumstances.

I'm wondering what my scholarship situation will be with them, would you mind PMing your stats?

Got the waitlist email today

I got waitlisted early in my cycle with a 173 and a 4.0. Also just graduated from UCLA in December.

I'm pretty convinced I got waitlisted but would actually be really interested in going with a scholarship.

Has anyone heard of someone getting a scholarship after being accepted off the waitlisted?

That's obviously yield protection. I would call them or write them a letter telling them that you truly are interested in going there if the price is right. Or perhaps there's a more established way to go about this, and I'm wrong. Either way, I can't speak to post-waitlist scholarships, but I have the same LSAT with a much lower GPA, and it makes no sense that you would get less money than me.

Though, if I were you, I'd be looking harder at Stanford and Berkeley.

I sent them a very nice email expressing my interest in UCLA and asking if I could come in to the admissions office and...they basically told me I should hold off on my efforts until May. MAY! Seriously, UCLA?

Thanks for the advice though! I'm in at Boalt and know I have awesome options, but UCLA would be great for family/geographic reasons.

After April they'll have a much better understanding of who is and who isn't committing to attending their school. I'm sure a lot of the big scholarships currently offered will disappear as the stellar recipients matriculate elsewhere. I wouldn't worry if I were you.

I was wondering if any admits on the East Coast could share when they got their call? Just wondering if I should bother watching my phone til 8 pm due to time difference.

Can't say... I've been complete since end of January - also radio silence.

FWIW wildquest, mine was at 2:30 EST.

Been reading for a while, but first time posting. Hello, all!

I've only seen one Epstein Program acceptance. Any others?
