UCLA Fall 2014 applicants

Anyone applying to UCLA this fall?

I recently attended the informational session and the program seems like a perfect fit! 

Please share your journey!

I am very interested in their History Graduate Program! Theres two professors I would love to study under; however my undergrad adviser mentioned that graduate students dont receive alot of attention from their grad. advisers at UCLA. Something I've been meditating on, regarding the pros and cons. Moreover, I dont think my GPA is stellar enough for acceptance =/ I have alot of extra curricular activities, three of the best LOR Id ever hope to achieve, a high 165V/164Q/5.0AW GRE score, but its that GPA thats discouraging me. 

 

Im currently working on my SOP now. So far, its going well but theres always room for improvement. Then again, with some 2 months left, Im sure I'll perfect it by then. 

 

How was the informational session? Did you learn any new information thats not available online? Do you meet with professors, or is it mostly administration? I live less than 20 minutes away from campus, so do you think its worth attending a session? Oh! And is it free? ha.
