Hi! My friend sent me a link to a Class Action Lawsuit against the Data Breach by ShinyHunters. Something to look into as so much personal data can be available!!

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!!

So I got accepted into 3 UC’s for Stats and Data Science. Merced, Santa Barbra and LA. And I don’t know which to choose.
What are the programs like?
I’d like to work business data analytics but I’m also not opposed to hard research in statistics. I’d like the chance to explore both.
Any insight into how to choose colleges in general would also be appreciated.
