Calling All UCLA 2011 Applicants!

Hey Almost Famous,

I'm a reapplicant. Again, I can't confirm if what I did is correct, but this is what I did. I created a new app (new pin) but only submitted the essay, one optional recording and one LOR.

The new app has a new pin / new e-mail (I couldn't use the same e-mail address as last year) attached. In the app, it'll ask are you a re-applicant and there will be radio buttons yes or no. Then write / submit your new essay, submit optional materials you want and have your recommender submit the LOR. My guess is that they'll somehow cross reference your name with last year and read your last year app and then read your this year app. That's my guess.

Under reapplicant instructions, it states

"REQUIRED ESSAYS

Please be introspective and authentic in your responses. We value the opportunity to learn about your life experiences, aspirations and goals.

The following two essay questions are for first-time applicants only. Reapplicants, please scroll down to the section labeled Reapplicant Essays.
"

So it's a new application in that you have a new pin and you have to go through the steps again, enter the administrative information, but you're only supposed to do the reapplicant essay.

My app currently says its complete for committee review. I'm guessing reapplicants are interviewed in the same pack as the rest of the R2 applicants. I haven't heard anything yet for interviews for this year. Last year, I was an R1 applicant, interviewed and was waitlisted R1 - R3.

Hope that helps. Cheers =)
