sociologygrad Posted January 30, 2015 Posted January 30, 2015 Hi all, Did anyone hear back from UCLA yet?
fakeusername Posted January 30, 2015 Posted January 30, 2015 Not yet. During the past few years, they have started releasing decisions in the first week of February.

sociologygrad Posted February 1, 2015 Author Posted February 1, 2015 I emailed them. They said mid to late February.
ratherbe Posted February 2, 2015 Posted February 2, 2015 who did you talk to - that is surprising given the past release dates
Quigley Posted February 2, 2015 Posted February 2, 2015 When I applied to UCLA 2 years ago, I was on an informal waiting list until after deadlines passed in April, at which point they rejected me. So just FYI, in the event that you hear nothing.

Quigley Posted February 5, 2015 Posted February 5, 2015 (edited) It meant that they weren't sure who would be declining or accepting offers yet, but there was a small contingent of us on this board at the time who had not yet been rejected. Most of their department's offers had been posted on here many weeks prior. It wasn't a "waiting list" in any official way, but we were kept in purgatory in the event that their incoming cohort fell short. I wasn't informed of the UCLA rejection until after the 4/15 deadline had passed. Edited February 5, 2015 by Quigley
theoristo Posted February 5, 2015 Posted February 5, 2015 (edited) Just heard from POI. Official offers will be extended between tomorrow/Friday!! Edited February 5, 2015 by theoristo
Evgeny55 Posted February 5, 2015 Posted February 5, 2015 Just heard from POI. Official offers will be extended between tomorrow/Friday!! Good news, though I don't have much hope... throwaway123456789 1
Evgeny55 Posted February 5, 2015 Posted February 5, 2015 BTW, your POI already told you that you are accepted?
sociologygrad Posted February 5, 2015 Author Posted February 5, 2015 Just heard from POI. Official offers will be extended between tomorrow/Friday!! Did you email and ask them? Or did they email you first?
sociologygrad Posted February 5, 2015 Author Posted February 5, 2015 How I am feeling right now: Me too
sociologygrad Posted February 5, 2015 Author Posted February 5, 2015 Still no news. I am checking my email every five seconds.
NMLogan Posted February 6, 2015 Posted February 6, 2015 Phone call from POI! I'm in! WH-HOOOOOOOOO!!!
Facade19 Posted February 6, 2015 Posted February 6, 2015 Phone call from POI! I'm in! Congrats!! I guess UCLA is your first choice?
Facade19 Posted February 6, 2015 Posted February 6, 2015 (edited) It is! Congrats! I am not sure whether you ever visited the campus or not, but it is gorgeous. Besides the academic reputation and obvious qualifications, it is just in a great spot of West Los Angeles. My brother actually works for the Law School's Williams Institute in a managerial position - do not wish to disclose his name for privacy reasons - and I have had many chances to see the campus for myself. If my interests were more aligned with their program I would have applied there myself. But, after careful consideration, I was not a good fit. So, with that said, I am assured that you will love it here! Edited February 6, 2015 by Facade19

Facade19 Posted February 6, 2015 Posted February 6, 2015 Spent the summer in LA the last two years. I am JUST about sold LOL, I am exactly the opposite. I want to leave Los Angeles and the state (if G-d permits it). I would love live and study in other parts of the nation.
NMLogan Posted February 7, 2015 Posted February 7, 2015 I'm in too! Lovely emails from Davide Panagia, Melvin Rogers, and Joseph Brown! Not sure yet what I'll do, because I'm also in at Chicago and waiting on Columbia and Hopkins, among others, but it's a great problem to have! Congratulations and sympathy, as the case may be, all around
