hey, yeah i'll be hanging out, decorating my new place, getting settled in with a very limited budget for about a month. you can go online (go to www.ucla.edu then click on for students then ursa) and use your id and password to find out your financial aid status and info. Funny thing is...

hey! I'm going to ucla as well. :) I'm moving to la on the 14th, and I am also living in a really overpriced small studio - it's on tiverton. figured i'd bite the bullet this yr and let myself sleep in until 7:45 and then run up to the school. ;) ricegirl

Hey class of 2007! Check out this link from last yr: Interview Stuff good luck :) ricegirl

darkmatter, there has not been an 'official' ranking for quite a number of years. the last us news report was in 1992 and UTSA was ranked #1. I would recommend that your friend get the ADEA book on schools - there is a wealth of info and contact information. there are good training programs in...

hey! good luck to everyone applying this year. :wink: a lot of schools don't have secondaries online (for whatever reason), but I know 2 that do are UCLA and UNLV. UCLA's is a pain in the butt, but UNLV's is easily doable in one sitting. For...

ayoon, hey! i'm going to be in la tomorrow looking for housing. i'm not sure how realistic $500 for a 2/1 or similar is, but I'll try to check it out for you. I'm going to be in la for a week so maybe you can come down and check out the housing situation with me. :) also, when did you get all...

This website sucks! there are errors all over the place so you constantly have to hit the reload button and it still doesn't work all the time. Sorry about all the ranting... :wink: Anyway what I wanted to say was I'm not sure if I believe...

AADSAS will send out all the letters that you send them, but it may not go out the same time as your application. My school also collected letters for me, and I found that it was easier for me to have my school directly send letters to each school because got tired of calling AADSAS (and...

hey westside, thanks for the info. i have applied for university housing at palms, but the avg wait period is over a year. They have over 1600 ppl on the wait list at any time. In addition, dental students are not guaranteed parking spaces although the medical students are (what an outrage!). I...

hey, any girls know for sure that you're going to ucla this fall? if so, please email me about shared housing if you are interested. I'm going to be in la during the later part of may and would like to find a place then. thanks- ricegirl :)

hey baracuda, My interview was nothing to be scared of. on the contrary, I thought my interviewers were really nice and tried to the best of their ability to put me at ease. They did not ask any unusual questions -- pretty much the same things that every school asks about (what...

Submitting your application early or on-time is one of the most important things that you as an applicant can do you make your position stronger (and to save yourself from insanity). I would say applying any time from June 1st through the end of July is optimal, the end of August through...

it probably depends on the type of school that you want to go to. there are definitely more clinically oriented vs. research oriented dental schools out there which may place different emphasis on research. again, it can't hurt. i was asked about my research at every interview i went to, and it...

Hey, I can answer your questions -- in greater depth if you would like: 1. What's the format like? crowded with interviewees (anyone who's interviewed at UNC will know what I'm talking about) or small group? Interviews at the beginning or end of the day.etc? the interview is 2 interviewers on...
