Yet Another Rejection

By Brandon Carl, March 18, 2009 5:38 pm

Wow, apparently UCLA had an 8.5% admit rate.  That’s worse than MIT!  Pretty much none of my friends got in…  Now to wait for USC’s letter…

 


Dear Brandon:

After careful review of your application for admission, we regret to inform you that we are not able to offer you admission for the Fall Quarter 2009. UCLA continues to receive more applications for admission than we can accommodate in our freshman class. For Fall 2009, we received more than 55,000 applications for 4,700 available spaces for freshmen.

Each application is unique, and each student presents wonderful attributes and potential. Our work is extraordinarily difficult: admission officers thoroughly review each application and carefully balance grades, coursework, test scores, honors, awards, community service, leadership, and work experience. Admission officers also consider the opportunities and challenges students face while achieving so much in their schools and communities. Ultimately, no single attribute or achievement guarantees admission-there are simply too many well-qualified, accomplished, and capable applicants for the number of freshman spaces available at UCLA.

If attending the University of California remains your ambition, you should know that there are other opportunities for admission. UCLA also accepts applications from junior-level transfer students. To learn more about transferring to UCLA and how to optimize the transfer experience, please visit www.admissions.ucla.edu/transfer or www.admissions.ucla.edu/tap.

We wish you success in your academic endeavors.

Sincerely, 

Vu T. Tran, Ed.D.
Director

    Wow, that letter looks really familiar…oh ya, it’s the one that I read about 5 minutes ago…woo. Don’t you just love how it’s supposed to make you feel alright about getting in, I’d rather it just said, “NO!”

    But hey, that’s why there’s fall-back schools…

    comboy grades: officialy i should be in computer courses (living in a loop) simantaneously i was in artstudio with clay this tuesday, just like last week and every coming tuesday

    no sign in attendance list in those computer courses; because i’m not present there; no signature in attendance list in artstudio; because i’m not in the list

    spleeyah, my special friend who i typed in your forum under rain; today i was in a computer course; no signature in the attendance list; because it was senior year course – i love digital image processing more than sleeping in the bed

    my room in where my mom lives (not dorm, but miles away) is covered with harry potter posters and photos of nature (from calendars). there are some awards on the wall and some awards in a thick folder – i love harry potter more, daniel radcliffe didn’t sign them

    [WORDPRESS HASHCASH] The poster sent us ‘0 which is not a hashcash value.
