Quincy_Taft_Coolidge Posted March 8, 2022 Posted March 8, 2022 My hopes for getting into UCLA just plummeted to an all time low. I'm still giving it an hour since I received my UT-Austin and University of Arizona decisions late at night. If not than there is always tomorrow.

I've seen someone was accepted, someone rejected, and someone waitlisted around 20 February. Admissions mentioned they are still reviewing applications. What could this mean? Thanks! Expand no updates from Berkeley either. I assumed this silence to be a rejection? ?

Quincy_Taft_Coolidge Posted March 8, 2022 Posted March 8, 2022 Has anyone heard from UT-Austin for the MAsters of Community and Regional Planning program? I got my acceptance to UT-Austin's Masters of Public Affairs and thought that the other would follow shortly but I have heard nothing.

Expand Wouldn't worry. I heard that this admissions cycle was very competitive with abnormally high amounts of applicants.
