Was fortunate enough to get a call on Tuesday with offer of significant merit aid -- he even apologized for it taking so long! Submitted 11/8, complete 11/16.

Numbers above both 75ths with strong softs. FWIW, applied for Epstein Program as well, but he didn't mention anything about that.

Good luck to everybody still waiting! My impression from speaking to folks who have applied in the past is that they take a long time to get back to you, even with a strong application...so try not to stress about it!

I was laughing about how I dreamed I rambled at a million miles an hour about LA and how excited I was and just generally made a bit of an idiot of myself. Then my boyfriend laughs at me and says no, that really happened.

Called a couple hours ago. GPA at median, LSAT at 75th. No merit aid offered in the call. Congrats everyone, and good luck to those still waiting!
You sure you didn't dream about any?

I wish! I asked my boyfriend and he was just like nope, it was good news but not THAT good lol. It's still early and there's always the possibility of negotiating later, so I'm happy with the acceptance.

your numbers seem pretty solid for UCLA, even better for Berkeley

got the acceptance email today. Says that they are willing to match other offers for financial aid. So, if UCLA doesn't offer you anything on the phone call but USC, Vanderbilt, Georgetown, etc. do, start negotiating.

Just got a complete email. Im guessing that's as far as it goes until a decision which can be whenever? Is there no status checker?

Correct, no status checker. I haven't heard anything since that complete email, back on 10/13...

Does UCLA ding/WL via email or snail mail or both?

For those wondering, calls are the way to go for acceptances (310 #) scholarship info usually mentioned in call, if any.

originalmutt · Post by **originalmutt** » Mon Jan 10, 2011 1:58 pm

So if I haven't gotten a phone call by now, does that mean I was likely dinged?

no.

+1. They still haven't gotten back to some people who applied in Oct so no reason to worry yet.

Have any December complete people heard back from UCLA yet?

I was complete 12/7 and heard back last week, but I'm a CA resident so maybe that had something to do with it?

I'm a CA resident too, complete 11/30, I haven't heard anything

Hey we have the same GPA/LSAT! Be patient, I'm sure your call is coming.

Thank you! I'm still sort of in shock and it's been nearly a week. $60k scholly, brought up during the call.

In via phone call today. Submitted at the start of December. Stats in profile. Expected the admit, did NOT expect the $105,000 scholarship.

They do love great GPAs, congrats!

Have most of the acceptances been sent out? For October applicants, if we didn't hear back by now are we SOL?
