- To future applicants -- if you\'re on the fence about applying to UCLA, my experience was bad enough that I would suggest you... probably shouldn\'t bother. Had an interview (in-person, since I\'m in the area) in early February, and the prof I interviewed with was an hour late. Was supposed to meet the students in the lab, but couldn\'t because they were running late for their *next* commitment. Was told I would hear something towards the end of February and heard nothing. Emailed the grad program, the professor I interviewed with, and another prof I listed in my SoP for any update in the first week of April since I had to make a decision before April 15 (at this point, it was mostly just trying to confirm I was rejected), again to no reply. Got an email yesterday saying \"sorry about the delay, we forwarded your application to the master\'s committee\" and a rejection letter in the portal today (with no email notification to check). imo it\'s disrespectful to not even give applicants a timely rejection so we can at least make a totally informed decision (and I understand the circumstances, but applicants are also caught in shitty situation). UCLA\'s refusal to communicate was unique among all other institutions I interacted with and I believe generally speaks to their borderline malevolent disposition towards grad students in general (esp. in light of their refusal to grant Cost of Living Adjustments to grad students, etc)
