No, LAS as well.

No, LAS as well.

 

I mean in the US.

[Randomgal]

Sorry, I misread your question (I've had an early morning-so Im a little out of it). Yes, its in the US, it's San Diego State actually.

Hey Randomgal, that's great that you got in!

Hey Randomgal, that's great that you got in!

Thanks! I already accepted elsewhere though (with a much better funding package)

I wasn't that clear I can see how it was a confusing question. And oh wow. I wonder what their admittance rate (people who are let in, then ultimately go there) is like with an acceptance date so late.

I emailed them a long time ago, and I think the rate ranges 20-60%. Their LAS program is combined with other programs (sort of like UCLA), so their vague  answer makes sense.

Interesting. UCLA accepted like no one. When I visited I was told there were 8 accepts, at least one of which was a student who was completing their BA at UCLA. It was a very small program.

 

The two other incoming students at UCLA's visitation day were LAS+Public Health and the people in the cohort that I met were LAS+urban planning, I think those are the more common admits like you said.

Interesting, but not surprised UCLA is super selective all around.
