From what I remember, I received my first financial aid offer in the Summer. 

Thank you! I understand they offer more scholarships to apply to once you commit. Do you happen to know the amount ranges for those & did you feel like they provided a lot of scholarships for students?

Hi everyone, 

I just found out I got in! I received an email from the UCLA Graduate Admissions at 1:33pm. I feel that they are not done sending out notices. Good luck to everyone!

Reposting in case anybody can answer: When you guys got accepted did it come with a financial aid offer? Because I see that it says: You can provide your SSN on MyUCLA by selecting "Social Security/Individual Taxpayer ID" to import FASFA data but I'm having trouble finding this on MyUCLA? I just see required financial aid actions and can't click on anything.

Re: the waiting list. Last year it was at least in the 30's.  But there  could be more. Youre likely to be admitted if youre #15 or less. Last year they admitted close to 30 ppl off the waitlist. If youre high 20's maaaaybe even 30 I would still sign up to take nursing50 in the Summer, bc theres a chance that you may be admitted. Last year was the first time that many waitlisted applicants came off the waitlist and were admitted. This info was shared at a prehealth carreer workshop by the program rep.

Not sure if it's too early to mention this, but for those who are not able to take the epi class in person at UCLA, there are options such as taking it online (at other schools) to fulfill the prerequisite. Just make sure it is the equivalent to fulfill the requirement.

Thank you for letting me know! Did you accept admissions? I'm not sure if I don't see anything because I haven't yet.

I did not accept admissions, but I did register for Summer session so maybe that's why?

Congratulations to everyone who was accepted into the program!

To those who were denied admission this cycle, I see you. I know how painful and discouraging those letters can be. I actually applied to this program (and several others) a few cycles ago and was denied by every single one. It was crushing, but I want to share this with you as proof that rejection doesn't mean the end of the road. If this is truly your path, don't give up. Use this as fuel to commit even more strongly, refine your goals, and trust that you have the strength and expertise to get there. You are so meant to be here. I reapplied to all the schools that previously rejected me, plus a few others, and this time, I was accepted into every single program. It can happen for you too. Keep going, and know I'm cheering you on!

For those admitted, are you considering completing UC Berkeley Extension's Epidemiology (PB HLTH X186) instead of taking Nursing 50 at UCLA? I'm wondering if this is a common route, as I think June might be a bit too soon for me to move. I'd love to hear your thoughts!

Thank you for the incredible encouragement! Not to distract from your question to the others, but do you mind sharing what you did to improve your application for your second round of attempts?

I'm taking Epidemiology 100A online through UCLA, which also counts for the requirement.
