I can estimate but they'd be pretty general since I don't live in LA.

seems like UCLA is trolling you
I asked this question in the same circumstance a while back and was told by the admissions office that they're still working on merit $$ right now.horrorbusiness wrote:offered 20k for 2012-13 this morning with that amout renewable pending financial-aid reapplication in the following years.
the email said they reviewed my need-access application and have given me money based on that. i wasn't initially offered a scholly when they accepted me. should i not be expecting to be offered any additional money?

I'm sure UCLA will try to match Vandy's money since they're peer schools (ie. same exact ranking).chipdx wrote:So I was admitted, but without any scholarship money. I just recently got a pretty large award from Vandy, and was wondering if anyone had success negotiating with UCLA, and what the best approach was. I'm from the west coast and would prefer school out west to the South, since that's where I want to practice. Thanks!
I just sent an email to Rob Schwartz with my other offers and he replied pretty quickly. Good luck!TexasWave wrote:How does one go about negotiating scholarships at UCLA? Just call up their financial aid office? Call up admissions?
If you don't mind answering, what was you initial offer and did he help any? What were the other offers? PM me if necessary.ricsllscir wrote:I just sent an email to Rob Schwartz with my other offers and he replied pretty quickly.

I know the feeling. Applied 11/19, not a word since. I have a friend with almost the exact same stats as me (just a .02 GPA difference) that applied in January, and he was waitlisted 2 weeks after. It's a good thing there's no status checker or I'd really be going crazy. USC is just slow, but I don't know what's going on with UCLA.CattyPake wrote:Applied right after Thanksgiving and still nothing from UCLA. I guess it's been a weird cycle/the school's admissions dept. is slow but I do feel a little annoyed since I applied to USC at the same time and I've heard nothing from them either. At this point it's hard not write the school off completely, though I would appreciate a formal, emailed rejection. Just wish I could get the application fees back though
