@syl.tutu: I have a lower GPA and average GRE quant scores but a decent amount of experience like you, so I say why not try I decided to apply to two 'safety' schools + two 'reach' schools...but I wanted to ask you about applying to UCLA. Were you able to meet their app deadline (12/1)? I didn't check out the program until more recently so I missed the deadline; even with my lower scores, I still really want to apply. The UCLA site does mention that they would accept applications after 12/1, but I'm not sure if applying would be futile since some schools tend to make their decisions so quickly! Here's hoping that their admissions office is open/available today when I call. Cheers!

Hi! Totally new to gradcafe here... First, wanted to reply to collegbum1989: I had the same experience as HealthMatters - I applied by 12/15 and got verified yesterday (12/23). One of the admissions offices I spoke with said SOPHAS likes to send out verifications in batches on Mondays and Wednesdays usually? Second, wanted to ask - has anyone applied to or considered applying to UCLA? I discovered their program a little late, which meant that I missed their Dec 1 deadline. Their site says they do consider applications after the deadline on a limited basis, so I wanted to see whether it would be worth the time & money to apply or if they're known for making their decisions pretty quickly (so I don't really have a chance)... Currently trying to make time pass quickly since their student affairs office doesn't open until 10am PST - then I will call them.
