heilaw Posted March 18, 2015 Posted March 18, 2015 Although some of the acceptance was sent out in early January, I had an informal meeting with a POI in the early March (no contact from UCLA before). In the meeting, I was told the decision should be sent out in late March. For those who are in the same situation, could you please share what you were told in the interview?
whk Posted March 18, 2015 Posted March 18, 2015 I got the email for requesting the interview early March, from one of my POIs. He told me at the time that the committee is finalizing the decision. During the interview I was also told that the decision should be sent out by the end of March. The prof said they were making some ranking from all the interviewees and finally would make the decision. Is the interview process common for every applicant? I thought I was at around the borderline and that was the reason why I got the interview opportunity, but now I guess it is not true.. BTW, I've never known about grad cafe forum!! This is cool
heilaw Posted March 18, 2015 Author Posted March 18, 2015 I think interview is not common for every applicant as some have already reported they were rejected by UCLA after contacting them for decision status. Wish both of us can hear some good news by end of the March!!! whk 1
ayepriori Posted March 18, 2015 Posted March 18, 2015 I'm still waiting for a final decision from UCLA as well.
heilaw Posted March 19, 2015 Author Posted March 19, 2015 Hi ayepriori, When were you contacted by UCLA?
ayepriori Posted March 19, 2015 Posted March 19, 2015 Late February, though I didn't have an interview, just informal contact with the department. Good luck everyone! Hopefully we'll all hear back soon (with good news!)
heilaw Posted March 20, 2015 Author Posted March 20, 2015 We must meet if we all get admitted!!! whk, elijahbaley and ayepriori 3
heilaw Posted March 28, 2015 Author Posted March 28, 2015 Have you received any updates from UCLA? April is coming!
pentaprism Posted March 30, 2015 Posted March 30, 2015 My friend's son didn't have interview nor any contact from UCLA (computer science). and haven't heard from them about his application. It's moot because he's already committed to a better (for him) school anyway.

hackdevil Posted March 30, 2015 Posted March 30, 2015 I have not had a call for interview, and I do not have any update either. From the results update I see a few people got rejection emails on 11th of March. And last year all the rejections were sent by 19th of March. Are we toast? I'm freaking out because I did not even get an interview.
heilaw Posted April 8, 2015 Author Posted April 8, 2015 Hey, whk and ayepriori, have you guys received any update from UCLA?
ayepriori Posted April 8, 2015 Posted April 8, 2015 I contacted the department this week and was told that they have sent out offers to their "very top-tier applicants" for each subfield. I am among their "top AI applicants". If any funding becomes available before April 15th due to one of the top-tier (AI) applicants rejecting the offer, then the department will contact me. I suspect the story is similar for Graphics/Systems/etc. Best of luck to everyone! heilaw 1
heilaw Posted April 8, 2015 Author Posted April 8, 2015 I am in the Graphics and Vision subfield. May I know which university accepted you?
ayepriori Posted April 9, 2015 Posted April 9, 2015 Got rejected from UCLA this morning Good luck to everyone else
heilaw Posted April 9, 2015 Author Posted April 9, 2015 I am sorry to hear that. Are you now going to Brown? Or are you still waiting for Columbia?
ayepriori Posted April 9, 2015 Posted April 9, 2015 I will probably go to Brown (better research match).
hackdevil Posted April 9, 2015 Posted April 9, 2015 I also got rejected today. Guess I was on their AI waitlist too.
heilaw Posted April 10, 2015 Author Posted April 10, 2015 I hope they can make a decision soon. I hate waiting...
heilaw Posted April 10, 2015 Author Posted April 10, 2015 Just received rejection letter. Will go to UMich then.
