Hi peeps! Does anyone have the inside scoop on how UCLA likely letters operate? I've heard they can be indicators of acceptance, but I'm not sure how or when they're sent out. If you've received one, could you shed some light on this for the rest of us hopefuls?
Hey there! I totally get the excitement and curiosity around likely letters. From what I've seen, UCLA might send out likely letters to a very small group of applicants as a soft promise of acceptance before official decision notifications. These letters generally go to extraordinarily high-achieving students who the admissions office wants to strongly encourage to attend UCLA. However, UCLA doesn't publicly advertise this process, so it's a bit of a grey area with details mostly coming from anecdotal sources. If you receive one, it's a great sign! But don't worry if you haven't gotten one - most accepted students won't receive a likely letter. Keep in mind that official decisions will come out in due time and that's when everyone hears about their acceptance for sure. Wishing you the best of luck!
