PLEASE SAY NO TO UCLA IF YOU DONT WANT TO ATTEND!!!

Rip.

Recieved a generic letter from the department chair. A lot of qualified applicants, not enough spots (typical comment).

rejected as freak

Accepted, haven't gotten any information about funding yet.

Was interviewed, felt it went well but I guess not

wasn't interviewed so expected

Email to check portal.

fine with it, was interviewed and was already happy about it. not the perfect fit!

We hope this message finds you in safety and good health. We appreciate your continued interest in UCLA’s Department of Anthropology PhD program and the time taken to apply. After careful consideration, we are unable to make an offer of admission at this time but would like to offer you a place on our waitlist. We have more highly-qualified applicants than we can admit every year and were especially impressed with your application, but our goal of providing a financial support package to admitted applicants limits the number of offers we can make at one time and results in the use of a waitlist. We will send you a status update as soon as possible and no later than April 15, 2025. Our waitlist is not ranked. We know that you are weighing very difficult decisions about your plans for the future. If, for any reason, you no longer wish to remain on the waitlist between now and April 15, please inform the Department’s Graduate Advisor.

Kinda sad, was one of my top three. Probably because of weak writing sample. Generic rejection letter, only accepted 22% of applicants.

Not one of my top choices so not disappointed. Archaeology subfield.

I did not receive an email notification that a decision was made. I found out when I received an email requesting that I should complete the financial aid form and then went to check my status.
