Not sure if there’s any waitlist warriors for Dance at UCI but I just withdrew…really hoping I can go there for my Dance MFA but my undergrad will be held elsewhere! Sending good energy to waitlist warriors for all schools/majors out there, be proud of yourself for BEING in school in the first place regardless of the outcome <3 bc this shit ain’t easy
I was accepted to UCLA as a transfer and was granted the option by admissions to defer my enrollment until Fall 2027 due to health circumstances. This was always my ideal scenario as UCLA is my dream school, but I realistically cannot begin school in Fall 2026. However, the fact that there is no explicit “you are guaranteed admission in Fall 2027” statement on UCLA’s deferment page, email confirmation to me, or PDF document explaining the deferment terms that was sent to me, is throwing me off; this coupled with the fact that I have to resubmit an application is extra terrifying.
I have until this Thursday to decide if I am going to accept the deferment terms or not as opposed to June 1st for regular accepted students. Have any of you deferred enrollment before? Should I go through without second thought, or is there a chance I will not have a spot Fall 2027? I have a feeling I’m overthinking😭but the lack of info/discussion about enrollment deferral due to how uncommon it is, is only exacerbating my fears.
I know this is a question for admissions but I just found out last night so I wouldn’t even hear anything from them until Monday lol. Any information/advice helps!!
Hi everyone,
I got into UCI for my primary major that would put me on track for a BFA, and I got into my secondary major at UCLA that’s purely academic. UCI’s program for my major is arguably the best out of all the UCs and UCLA is my dream school. I’m still in the delusional excitement mindset so there’s no real con about either school lol.
I plan to get my MFA in the same field that I got accepted into at UCI. With this being said, I’ve heard your bachelor’s degree doesn’t need to be related to your master’s so many times, but I don’t know if my desired master’s degree being an art changes things. I’m very invested in this art outside of school as it’s my line of work, and if I were to go to UCLA I would plan to keep it as my work/participate in it extracurricularly wherever available. UCI would obviously prepare me more intensely—I just don’t want to pass up the opportunity to study at my dream university if I can. Should I be worried about admissions officers in master’s programs putting my application to the side if I’m not studying art in my undergrad and only doing it extracurricularly?
I struggled so much with school growing up, so this literally the greatest dilemma I could ever be faced with. I know I’m being a bit vague (out of irrational paranoia) but any insight helps. Thank you thank you thank you
