Committed to UCLA. Very excited!!!

Thanks!!! Since I'll be moving from the East Coast to LA this summer, I wonder if I could start looking for apartments late June / early July. Will it be too late then? Plus, how do people usually find roommates there?

Attending UCLA this fall! I'm looking for apartments (and roommates as well!) so if you are also looking for roommates/housing or have any suggestion please let me know!!! Graduate housing is not an option for me since I will be moving with my sweet cat (the one in my profile pic). I plan to live within 20 mins of bus commute and would like to have my own bedroom. Budget is 900-1400 per month per person.

Anybody NOT heard back from UPenn and USC? Just out of curiosity....

Any insights?

I believe this is what they meant.

Deciding between UC Irvine and UCLA. Area of interests are immigration, race and ethnic relations, social stratification, cultre. Especially focusing on Asian American community. Both programs are very good fit and very well established! However I have heard rumors like "UCLA expects you to drop out," so I'm a little worried about the program culture there. Any suggestions?

Thank you!! To all the waitlisted people - there is still hope, so never give up!

It seems that they have already notified waitlisted people.

Yeah of course! Thanks for sharing :-) Have fun!!!

^ Same to UCLA admits :-) The waitlist purgatory is driving me crazy!

This UCLA limbo is killing me. Now I feel so prepared for a rejection.

Here.....

Just out of curiosity - what do people mean when you guys talk about "ranking"? It seems to me that you are looking at the general sociology department ranking. However, there are also people who believe that a specific subfield ranking is much more meaningful than the general department ranking. For example, a UC Irvine graduate specializing in Asian immigration would be (at least) as competitive as a UNC graduate doing the same thing?

Thanks guys! I guess I'll have to just hang in there and wait :-) BTW, any ideas on what people can do if they are "unofficially" waitlisted? Do you think it's a good idea to send the department an email expressing interests & updating CV and grades?
