FIRST REJECTION ):

After careful review of your application for admission, we regret to inform you that we are not able to offer you admission for the Fall Quarter 2010. UCLA continues to receive more applications for admission than we can accommodate in our freshman class. For fall 2010, we received more than 57,000 applications for 4,690 available spaces for freshmen.

Each application is unique, and each student presents wonderful attributes and potential. Our work is extraordinarily difficult: admission officers thoroughly review each application and carefully balance grades, coursework, test scores, honors, awards, community service, leadership, and work experience. Admission officers also consider the opportunities and challenges students face while achieving so much in their schools and communities. Ultimately, no single attribute or achievement guarantees admission—there are simply too many well-qualified, accomplished, and capable applicants for the number of freshman spaces available at UCLA.

If attending the University of California, Los Angeles remains your ambition, you should know that there are other opportunities for admission. UCLA also accepts applications from junior-level transfer students. To learn more about transferring to UCLA and how to optimize the transfer experience, please visit www.admissions.ucla.edu/transfer or www.admissions.ucla.edu/tap.

We wish you success in your academic endeavors.

Sincerely,
Vu T. Tran, Ed.D.
Director
