Calling All Waitlisted // UCLA Anderson Class of 2017

Question

Well, I figure someone had to start this thread sooner or later. Who else has been waitlisted? And, to anyone who successfully got off the wait list last year - what was your strategy?

Roll Call

Hi Guys,

I have got wait-listed in R1 after an interview. I am an Indian applicant and was asked to submit a valid TOEFL score after the interview. I had not appeared for the test before, so I was not able to submit the scores before the decision deadline.

Anybody else in a similar situation?

shout911 · Answer

I got waitlisted from R1 too.

I am a Chinese residing in Singapore. I was informed about my waitlist status on the R1 decision date. After that, received an email from the school saying that if I have a toefl score, I should submit it to them.

Maybe language is a concern to them.

TheWaitlistGuy · Answer

From what I heard (news not confirmed), the university has made TOEFL scores mandatory for all international applicants (Asia at least). So, whoever was invited to interview from R1 was asked to submit their scores and it was made compulsory for all R2/R3 candidates.

I have submitted my TOEFL scores almost a week back both through email and ETS. Now waiting for a decision !!!

Thank you, mrc9045 , for starting a thread for UCLA waitlisted applicants. I've added roll call in the first post. Waitlisted Applicants: In order your username to be displayed in the roll call, make sure you have set your UCLA application status as waitlisted for Class of 2017. Status_Update.png

Now the wait....

I'm sure they just weigh Rd2 against WLers somewhat evenly as it makes perfect sense for them to try to build the best class on paper they can. That said, I pray there is some benefit now to being a round 1 applicant. I need everything I can get!

Good luck WL group!

TheWaitlistGuy · Answer

Dinged from the waitlist

This journey ends here. All the best to all you guys !!

toocrispy · Answer

I didn't receive a call yesterday and thought I was dinged. However, I got an email saying that they're keeping me on the waitlist.

The journey continues!

csi · Answer

Got my email at 12:42am

Wait-listed again.....the journey of waiting continues. Can't believe it's been almost 6 months since submission.

csi · Answer

Waitlist status inquiry e-mail received at 12:23pm PST. Reply by April 30th. Good luck fellow waitlisters

FurrowedBrow · Answer

Any movement on the waitlist guys?

toocrispy · Answer

Looking at last year's forums, it looks like Anderson will release early decisions around May 20th. Of course they'll send out another notification on June 3rd. My guess it will be quiet until those dates.
