Nice! That is a wonderful distraction to have! Today I checked my email and I had one email titled "Admissions" I was so excited that I nearly threw my phone across the room... only to find out that it was from a local community college informing me that they are currently enrolling for spring semester. Thankfully they send a follow up email 4 hours later with the same title. Needless to say, the experience was soul crushing. Still waiting to get a real admissions email from one of my three prospective schools

Glad to hear that I am not alone. I wake up every morning telling myself that I'm only going to check it just once or twice. Before I know it I've relapsed and checked it 10 times before noon. The worst part is that I even check it between 2am and 5am when I get up for a sip of water. I'm always afraid that my fiancé is going to catch me checking it at like 3am so I go out to the living room for a quick fix haha

I had a similar feeling when I transferred from community college to my undergrad university. I was an A student in community college, but I was worried that I didn't really belong at a top university and that I would perform poorly. Admittedly, I struggled to adjust at first but I eventually realized that I was at or near the same academic level as most of my classmates. I believe in the idea of the self-fulfilling prophecy. If you believe you are inferior you will perform at an inferior level, but if you believe you belong at your school you will live up to your true potential. I think you will settle in nicely and eventually find your academic groove in grad school. Best of luck!

Alright be honest, how many times have you checked your email or decision sites today? I have definitely checked my email between 20-30 times today and each decision site about 10 times each. Does anyone else feel like an email junkie?

I applied to three schools and have yet to hear back as well. Everyone keeps telling me that "no news is good news." It feels pretty hard to believe that when I keep seeing people on here get accepted to the programs I applied to. I guess I just wasn't a member of the first wave of decisions.... I guess that means I am still in the running.

Poweredbycoldfusion, the transit in and out of UCLA is excellent! I have been on campus for three years now and I have been a bus rider the entire time. According to Brian Taylor (professor of urban planning who specializes on transportation), over 1,100 buses arrive on campus per day. More importantly, UCLA offers heavily subsidized transit passes to students. You can buy an LA Metro transit pass from the school every quarter for between $50-$54. The pass gives you unlimited use of LA Metro buses, Subway, and Light Rail. UCLA also offers Culver City and Santa Monica Big Blue Bus passes at a heavily discounted rate. Don't listen to people who say that public transit in LA is bad. It is actually quite good and fairly cheap. There are three main transit loops on campus: 1) Hilgard and Westwolm 2) Westwood and Strathmore 3) Gayley and Strathmore. From these transit loops you can go pretty much anywhere in the LA area without transferring. The 1) Hilgard and Westholm stop is serviced by the LA Metro buses and Santa Monica Big Blue Bus. From this particular stop you can take a direct line to the San Fernando Valley (Sherman Oaks, Van Nuys, Encino, Etc.) Downtown LA, Hollywood, East LA, Los Feliz, Echo Park, Santa Monica, West LA, Sawtelle, and Pacific Palisades. From the 2) Westwood and Strathmore stop is serviced by LA Metro buses, Santa Monica Big Blue Bus, and Culver City bus. From that particular stop you can get to Culver City, Palms, Westchester, Downtown LA, Hollywood, East LA, Los Feliz, Echo Park, Santa Monica, West LA, and Sawtelle. The 3) Gayley and Strathmore stop is serviced by LA Metro buses, Amtrak Buses, and LADOT Commuter Buses. If you decide to live further away from campus there is also a Commuter Bus stop on the corner of Gayley and Strathmore. Commuter Buses goes to places like Encino, Mission Hills, and Santa Clarita. The LA Metro buses will take you to Downtown LA, Hollywood, East LA, Los Feliz, Echo Park, Brentwood, Westwood Hills, Pacific Palisades, and all the places in between UCLA and the Pacific Ocean via Sunset Boulevard. The Amtrak buses will take you to Sherman Oaks, Van Nuys and Pacoima. The list of places serviced by buses either to or from UCLA is by no means an all-inclusive list.
