New Bruins

For those who you who have been admitted, either on the UCLA Undergraduate Admissions website or through official mail, I would like to say CONGRATULATIONS and WELCOME to the Bruin family! My name is Roni Lavi, and I work for the UCLA Undergraduate Admissions Office. My duties include advising prospective and newly admitted students regarding acceptance into UCLA and successful completion of acceptance procedures. Now that decisions are out, I know that many of you admitted students are wondering about the next steps. The admissions website is very helpful in guiding you through the acceptance process. The following link will provide you a checklist of what needs to be done before you start classes in the fall:  http://www.admissions.ucla.edu/newbruins.htm Please make sure that you click on the appropriate class level (freshman or transfer).

For those students who have made changes to their course work or have received poor grades, please make sure to fill out a Provisional Problem Form. An evaluator will review your changes and notify you within fifteen working days if the changes will affect your admission. The following links will guide you to the correct forms to fill out the Provisional Problem Form. Freshmen, please visit: http://www.admissions.ucla.edu/NewBruins/NSG_Freshmen.htm. Transfer students, please visit: http://www.admissions.ucla.edu/NewBruins/NSG_Transfer.htm.

And please feel free to e-mail the New Bruins email account at newbruins@saonet.ucla.edu with any questions you might have regarding your admission to UCLA. 

Again, congratulations and best of luck to you as a New Bruin!

I'm sure all the links you posted for the newly admitted students will be very helpful. Keep blogging!

Hi Roni,

I'm a sophomore in high school and would like to find out the effect of postponing an AP test (for a subject that I'm taking this year) to next year.

Because of my heavy workload in other classes and also ECs, I'm not that confident I'll pass one of my AP tests this year. I certainly don't want to fail the test.

What if I postpone that AP test to next year (my junior year of high school)? Will it matter so long as I get a 3 or better next year? Or does UCLA like to see students take the AP test the same year that you studied that particular subject?

Is there any significant difference (other than actual numbers) between my Application ID and my UCLA student ID? Does UCLA simply assign their own ID number to each application in addition to the one assigned by the UC application system overall? Sorry for the convoluted question...

Yes, the UCLA ID number is separate from the Application ID number. Your App ID number is the same at all campuses, while each UCLA assigns its own ID number to its students. You retain this ID number through out your academic and profession career(s) at UCLA.
