UCLA Fall 2016


UCLA is also only one place behind Berkeley on this list. Does that mean that a lot of people are under the impression that UCLA Law is as good as Berkeley Law? Because that is quite funny. At least there will be less competition for people waiting to hear from Berkeley.



See, no one has said UCLA is at the same level of Berkeley. There are two different situations. First, no one disputes that Yale, Harvard, Stanford, Columbia, NYU, Duke, Berkeley, etc. are Law Schools more prestigious than UCLA, so much so that these schools are all very considered for "Becas Chile" and many of us have postulates them first choice. Now, all of them also have a very good ranking as universities, thereby increasing the chances of getting a full scholarship. That is not the case of USC, because unfortunately do not have a very good ranking as University, but also as School of Law is even below UCLA in the own US News (That is only a US Law Schools Ranking).
Therefore, perhaps it is true that you have less competition from Chilean applicants ... but for USC, because Berkeley is considered the best public university in the world. Obviously I also postulated there, like many Chileans.
I am surprised that emily717, who created this post supposed to applicants who want to enter UCLA, talk of "ranking over-inflated" like you've never wanted to study there. It is at least curious.

I would still appreciate a place at the university and even consider attending. That doesn't mean that I can't be objective about the schools that I have applied to. It's essential to be able to make your own decision about a school, and after spending a lot of time doing some further research about the school - I have come to the decision that it is most likely over-inflated.

If you don't have the ability to critique the school that you have applied to - you probably shouldn't be applying to law school.

You do not get confused. I have the ability to critique any school, even if I intend to accept an offer from there....but one thing is to criticize, and the other is to be incoherent. Apply to school that you don´t like? Maybe is better and responsible research about Law Schools before to apply and not after. At least I did my homework before ...

Just because I said that the ranking is over-inflated doesn't mean that I dislike the school. Why do you believe they are mutually exclusive ideas? I've never said anything bad about UCLA itself, just how it is perceived in comparison to other schools. I think you might be getting a little defensive, and I don't really see why. You were inconsiderate to others and disrespectful to other applicants when you posted hilarity at the idea of comparing USC and UCLA. I am merely responding in turn by pointing out that the two aren't dissimilar, and your attitude was unfounded. You should be encouraging other applicants, you shouldn't be dismissive of their other options when they don't get in to UCLA.

I apologize if I offend some USC applicant, was not my intention. I posted hilarity at the idea of comparing USC and UCLA just because we have a lot of post in this same topic before, and when "ayer" asked again about comparison, he put funny emoticons and I thought that I was a joke (by repetition).

Just say you that your comment "you probably shouldn't be applying to law school" was not necessarily "respectful", and that was the reason of my reply.

Apologize again for you and everyone here. LLM-Guide is a great community and powerful tool and is not my intention to be a disrupting element.

I understand you may have thought Ayer was joking, but if you would have read the earlier posts you would have seen that they were happy to have just been admitted to USC. And that's why it seemed unfair. And when I said you shouldn't be applying to law school, I wasn't saying that as a direct you, it was a universal you. As in, I shouldn't be applying to law school if I didn't have the ability to critique schools and nor should anyone else. It wasn't directed at you, I apologise if you perceived it so.

I do not think that any of us are offended. I was admitted yı USC and waitlisted to UCLA and waiting for Berkeley. As Emily explained before we were discussing whether it would worth if we wait until june for UCLA. I am happy with USC but it did not mean that anyone offended me. Only misunderstanding. I think everyone is quite polite. I wish all the best to you all. 😀😀👏👍👍

I'm glad you're not offended, and I didn't mean to speak on your behalf! But I know there are a lot of people that still follow this post that haven't been admitted, and I know that they may have been so. You should be happy with USC, I'm happy with USC and I'll probably be accepting my admission soon enough.

Alright guys. I applied in November and received my application completed notification in early December. I still haven't heard from UCLA with any kind of decision. I've emailed them twice in the last month and a half and I've tried to call a few times.

Have UCLA ever replied to anyone's emails? Does anyone have any idea of a way to get through to them? I think they're probably screening my international call. At this point, I'm pretty sure they've lost my application or at least forgotten it exists or something. Sadly, when I can't even speak to them and remind them... It seems like I'll never know whether I got in.
