Try looking in the Santa Boulevard Blvd / Barrington Ave area; there's a bus line running on Santa Monica Blvd that goes straight to campus (Big Blue Bus, line 1, pass subsidized by UCLA). You'd probably be in the upper limit of your housing budget, though. And congrats, that's a great school and LA is pretty fantastic, you're going to have a ton of fun!
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....
-
That's nuts.
Any insights?
-
What do you mean "expects you to drop out"--i.e., not complete the degree?
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?
-
Congratulations to the UCLA admit. What a great surprise so late in the game. Here's hoping!
Thank you!! To all the waitlisted people - there is still hope, so never give up!
-
Anyone still waiting on UCI?
It seems that they have already notified waitlisted people.
-
ditto to ucla but won't know until visit
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.
-
Has anyone NOT heard from ucla?
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?
-
To anyone still waiting on UCLA: I just got off the phone with the grad coordinator, and she told me that they've already sent out the bulk of their admits and rejections. Those of us who haven't heard back either way are probably being considered for one or two more spots. She implied that although UCLA doesn't typically do waitlists, this was an unusual application season and that we are on an ad hoc waitlist of sorts. The committee "is crunching some numbers and should decide in the next few weeks."
It sounds like we'll just have to hang tight and wait this one out. Hope this helps!
Yeah it definitely helps!! Thank you! Good to know that there is still hope.
-
Anyone still in limbo with UCLA?
Here. Really don't know what to expect.

I was accepted to UC Irvine last week (2 February). Waiting on funding. You can PM me if you have any questions, but if they're relevant to others go ahead and ask them here.
I'm guessing that you're in limbo. I don't want to kill your hopes, but I received an email on Sunday about open house. The email was sent out to me and more than twenty other people--I'm guessing all the persons accepted. You shouldn't take this as proof that they're no longer accepting anyone, but that's a pretty big group of people.
EDIT: Looks like someone (asheleeyang) beat me to what I said.
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.
-
Does anybody know what is going on with UC Irvine? I saw they sent out some acceptance last week but was unsure if they are done sending them out. In past years they sent all the acceptances out in one wave but it also looked like a lot more acceptance were posted.
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!!!
-
Thank you! And nope -- no interview. I was very surprised.
That is awesome! Which field did you applied to? I would LOVE to work Mary Waters so much - she is fantastic.
-
Thank you!! I got a phone call from Mary Waters (Department Chair) this evening.
Wait... Didn't they do interviews?
Congrats!!!
-
I haven't heard anything either. The department told me via e-mail that everyone would be notified by Friday. Although, in the past I've languished on the waitlist there until May. Fun!
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.
