I applied to six schools and Stanford SDC accepted me back in february, they didnt tell me how much aid I was getting till two days ago. I heard back from berkeley a week ago and I still havent heard back from UCLA. This is not a Stanford SDC thing, typically if they haventent responded its cause theyre not interested, I agree it pisses me off too, I cant believe UCLA hasnt responded to me either. rnrnI wouldnt ask for my money back because it is nonrefundable when you apply, youre just gonna look like a fool and burn some bridges. I would suggest just move on if you got into another school like berkeley. I will similarly be ignoring how much UCLA disrespected me and pissed me off

Not surprised but still disappointing: 6 strong LORs, high GPA, acceptable GRE scores; 0 publications.
