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?

Yeah it definitely helps!! Thank you! Good to know that there is still hope.

Here. Really don't know what to expect.

Haha. Glad to see my fellow Irvine admits here :-) Are you going to the open house?

I am wondering if it's possible that a school may wait list you without sending notification... Having seen a lot of acceptances/rejections posted on result search page but still no news for me... It's driving me crazy as I don't know if there is any hope.

I was admitted to Irvine last Tuesday. Based on my limited knowledge they may have done admitting people b/c I got an email from them last weekend regarding the open house, and there were more than 20 students listed as email receipients. However, I don't know how many students they usually admit each year so I might be totally wrong. Good luck!

Not heard back from UCLA either... Hopefully there will be more offers to make!!!

That is awesome! Which field did you applied to? I would LOVE to work Mary Waters so much - she is fantastic.

Wait... Didn't they do interviews? Congrats!!!

Thanks for the update! Well I guess I am ready to see my rejection letter this Friday lol.

Anyone not hearing back from UNC yet?? I am very confused right now since there have been so many acceptances/rejections posted.
