I received my official acceptance letter but nothing on funding. Is there anyone who got funding?

Received an email to check the portal.

Got a auto generated email asking me to check the portal. Excited!!! Would someone got admitted be willing to share their experience, such as how long after the official admission letter did they receive notification about funding and supervisor?Is funding guaranteed for PhD in UCLA Mechanical Engineering?

16 months work experience; 2 internships; 2 major projects.

Received email to check the decision portal, happy that I finally got into UCLA.

Did not receive an email or any notification. Just logged onto the portal and found the decision there. I don't get why it took them this long honestly and they didn't even send out notifications for us to know that the decisions were posted. Worst application experience ever.

accepted out waitlist

I didn't receive an email. Just checked the website randomly. Good luck to all "Thank you for applying to graduate study at UCLA. We regret to inform you that you are not being offered admission. UCLA receives many more applications than there are student places available. Each of these applications is carefully reviewed by a departmental faculty committee. In this extremely competitive environment, many talented and promising students are not recommended for admission by these committees. We understand that this decision is disappointing, and again, there are many more applications than there are places available. Inquiries about your application or the decision may be submitted in writing to Chemical Engineering, Attn: Graduate Admissions Officer, 5531 Boelter Hall Box 951592, UCLA, Los Angeles, CA 90095-1592. Please accept my best wishes for success in all your future endeavors. Sincerely, UCLA Graduate Division Diversity, Inclusion and Admissions"

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)

Considering how they're one of the earlier app deadlines (December), to post results a week after the commitment deadline is pretty annoying. I also emailed the department three times throughout the process with different questions and I never got a response either.

Decision letters are available to view and print until the end of the current calendar year. Be sure to print a copy of your letter and keep it in a safe place. Loooooooooooooool. So they expect me to print and keep a rejection letter.................Dear XXXXX, Thank you for applying to graduate study at UCLA. We regret to inform you that you are not being offered admission.

Well, that's a shame. Nothing to do now but get a job, buy a 1969 Mustang and try again next year. Goodluck to everyone else!

TTPB: Still no official notification from the program, but I contacted someone in the department last week asking about the results, and was then informed that I was rejected. Severely disappointed and heartbroken.

Rejected -> Waitlisted saying that my profile was actually good -> Admit after a couple of weeks

No comment.

Ok this is RIDICULOUS. I haven't heard anything from UCLA, like no decision at all. But I just got an email from them saying "Thank you for considering UCLA for your graduate studies. Your online application has been received." Like, for lack of a better phrase, WTF????? They just received my PhD application submitted almost 5 months ago? This is just way too much.

Anyone got accepted to the PhD program? I still have not heard anything regarding my application, and noticed only two people were waitlisted

Accepted off the waitlist, no funding though

Notification comes 6 days after the deadline without any previous communication. Too bad UCLA.
