Higher Education and Organizational Change program. Email came with admit letter and CC'd POI. POI was not one I explained in my essay, though I have a meeting with them next week. Still waiting on funding package (if any).

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: Graduate Admissions Officer, Indo-European Studies, 100 Dodd Hall, Box 951417, Los Angeles, CA, 90095-1417, [email protected]. Please accept our best wishes for success in all your future endeavors. Sincerely, UCLA Division of Graduate Education Diversity, Inclusion and Admissions

(6a/0a/0w/1r) late night email. good luck everyone ^.^

Womp womp :( 0a/1w/5r/8p (GPA is MFA)

0a/2r/1w/1p very sad, this was my top choice. I wonder why they didn't reject me earlier.

Thank you for your application to the UCLA Bioengineering PhD program. After careful consideration, we regret to inform you that we do not have available slots for your application in the PhD program at this time. However, we would like to offer you the opportunity to join the MS program. MS students can potentially transition to the PhD program after gaining experience working with faculty at UCLA. We understand that this may be a difficult decision, and we want to support you in your academic journey. If you are interested in changing your degree objective from PhD to MS to consider this option, please reply to this email by February 17th, and we will proceed with the necessary steps. We sincerely wish you the best in your decision-making process and look forward to hearing from you soon.

GPA is masters. Got the email to check the portal in the middle of the night ... huh? lol. Disappointing result, but my POI turned me down when I requested a short Zoom call with her, so that probably was an early sign that I should not have applied. I am glad I have friendlier options to choose from :) 3A/3R/0W/1P.

You will receive notification by early May regarding the final action on your application for admission for Fall 2025 at UCLA.
