UCLA people - check your spam folders! I received admission to the MA/PhD program on February 22nd but only found it this week. I'm awaiting further information on any funding and all other details. From past years, February 22nd is pretty early to hear back. I think that I heard back earlier because I was interviewed for the straight PhD program but was then instead accepted to the MA/PhD pile. So, I don't think my early notification should be discouraging to other applicants, but people should be aware that the acceptances might be going to spam. I haven't gotten an official letter from the graduate school yet, and my application portal hasn't changed.

This is a baseless, nit-picky speculative question: I already posted about doing an interview with UCLA, which happened two weeks ago. I noticed on the grad application portal (where you can see your app materials and the date they were received) that the date next to my transcripts changed to 2/9, so a week or so after my interview. I was thinking this meant that they had been viewed by someone. Does anyone have a clue of what that means?

To the poster above, I applied to the MA/PhD track but my app was (happily) kicked to the PhD pile. I don't believe they interview people going directly into the MA, so you should still have hope. Good luck!!

I had an interview with UCLA last week. So so nervous!! The program is my top choice. Did anyone else here have one?
