Has anyone who applied to UCLA had an update to their admission status since they submitted the online application?

I applied for Screenwriting and it still says that they have not received my supporting materials, but I don't know if that is because they actually haven't receive them or if that department does not use the online application status screen and I'm trying not to bug the department, if I can help it.

I called their student services and they said that they're one of the departments that doesn't use that update section, so we won't get info from it. They did say that our files will be complete by January, and if we're missing anything at that time we'll either get postcards or emails telling us what we're missing and we'll have a chance to send those things in. But admissions themselves are not til the spring--this is just to say that they didn't recieve something they should have. Basically no news=good news at this point, although I wish they used that update section to make us feel better!

That is so helpful to know. Thank you and good luck!

If UCLA is running anything like they did last year, don't expect to hear anything until march when they call for interviews and then late may early june when they make decisions.

early june?! aw man...so long!

So depressing! But thanks for letting us know what to expect!

UCLA does not use the internet status app, but Cecelia Wilmott will send you a little yellow postcard in a few weeks saying that they got everything.


And when they call/admit depends on your program, apparently.


I was emailed over a month in advance (early February) for my interview (end of March), and I got accepted before April 15th, I believe, or shortly thereafter.

USC was earlier.

But I'm a Screenwriter...production is likely a little later, I guess.

Has anybody received said "little yellow postcard"? All postcardless here...

I, too, am postcardless. But, it's a pretty hectic time for them, so I'm not expecting to be postcarded until the first of the year.

I just got my yellow confirmation postcard in the mail today. I live about an hour away from UCLA though so you guys should probably expect your's soon.

the yellow postcard just tells u if youre file is complete and ready to review or if it is incomplete and needs certain materials.

I haven't gotten one either but I'm in Canada so I think I get an email instead. No emails either yet.

Yeah, so now I'm beginning to freak out. I've heard didley. I'm considering calling the USPS to demand that they re-check the last three weeks of mail delivered to anybody or calling UCLA and whimpering softly into the receiver. I think I'm secretly hoping that this message will generate dozens of "I haven't heard either" responses. Anybody??? I am running out of beta-blockers.

I just checked my email and UCLA sent one yesterday saying they recieved my complete application and they will now start to review them.

I got my little yellow postcard a few weeks ago. It was like a note from a little angel, but not it's KILLING me to know more. Little angel, it might not be. Anyone heard anything else yet?

i have not received any yellow postcard from UCLA yet. i had applied to USC as well and last week i received their graduate catalogue, it was sent on name mentioning my USC id..i dont know if thats any sign of my application being reviewed.

Today, I received a friendly mass e-mail from UCLA telling me and some other people that our screenwriting applications were received and complete. The other recipient addresses were plainly visible, and I googled them, hoping they were all retarded people with protruding tongues who lacked basic literacy. Sadly, some of them had won awards. I'll have to keep my fingers crossed.

Icarus,

Are you an international student? I realize your location says NY, but I'm asking because I was under the impression that international applicants were the only ones who received emails regarding their apps.

I apologize if I'm way off the mark, but I can't check the mail at my "current address" for another two weeks, so I don't know if I got a card or not.

And just out of sheer curiousity - about how many people recieved the email?

A Plan Unfurled,

I am an international student and they are not very prompt in sending us emails either. this wait-and-watch thing is getting on my nerves...its like a 'pressure-cooker' situation as the yellow postcard reaches more and more applicants except me!

Well, Sunayana, at least you know you're not alone...
