I just found it the other day - the FB group is called UCLA MURP 2023 Cohort

04/22 is my extended deadline and the graduate advisor I spoke with did say he had a good amount of people extending their deadline this year in hopes of getting more funding. Good luck!

For anyone who extended their decision deadline at UCLA - have you heard back on any additional funding yet? Also FYI for anyone waiting on waitlist decisions from Berkley, I heard back on Friday (officially rejected).

Has anyone had any luck requesting and/or negotiating more funding from UCLA? I also unfortunately had to miss the entire UCLA admitted students day last week due to scheduling conflicts and apparently they are the only school to not record the sessions... Any highlights? Or any resources you got from the event that were particularly helpful?

This is super helpful! Thank you!

Does anyone have any thoughts on the major differences between the USC and UCLA programs? (Aside from cost). And if anyone has any insight on how much urban design exposure/opportunity I would get at USC, UCLA, or UT Austin, I would greatly appreciate it!

Is anyone planning to visit schools prior to the April 15th decision date? I know it is difficult to travel with covid but I don't think I can make the decision without visiting the cities/campuses I would be moving to

In at UCLA! Found out via email, no word on funding in the letter. Did anyone else get any funding news from them?
