Does anyone happen to know how long we have to complete the application for UCLA? Thanks!
there's no specific time frame, but they suggest you finish it in 2-3 weeks. So I would make sure to finish it in 2-3 weeks lolDoes anyone happen to know how long we have to complete the application for UCLA? Thanks!
Yeah, that's what I was shooting for anyway! Thanksthere's no specific time frame, but they suggest you finish it in 2-3 weeks. So I would make sure to finish it in 2-3 weeks lol
You submitted primary & secondary when?I just checked School Decisions on AADSAS and UCLA already posted my status - Received/Application Complete. Figured I should let you all know!
Nice! Mine updated to that status within a day or two of getting the secondary too, so it seems like they're pretty quick on checking it and making sure it's kosher and stuff.I just checked School Decisions on AADSAS and UCLA already posted my status - Received/Application Complete. Figured I should let you all know!
UCLA is asking about offenses in their secondary app. I have two speeding tickets where the fine was over $200, so since I'm not going to lie, I added them to the question. Are the traffic tickets something that will affect my application?
I got the application just by submitting the AADSAS application. I received mine today and my mail out date was 7-15Just to confirm, you all didn't receive the secondary until your application was complete? Well.. as complete as it could be without the supplemental?
Ha! I think I'm just being paranoid about it and it'll be okay. It's not like I was drinking and driving.Speeding to help a dental patient in need, right?
I don't remember the exact wording of the app but I really don't think you need to mention speeding ticketsUCLA is asking about offenses in their secondary app. I have two speeding tickets where the fine was over $200, so since I'm not going to lie, I added them to the question.

Yes I did.Did you have everything completed, meaning your application and DAT scores?
Here is what it says on the application.I don't remember the exact wording of the app but I really don't think you need to mention speeding tickets
Oh ok thanks! Did you have any trouble with some of the space that was given? For example, for the time attended for university, my month/year got cut off so I'm wondering if that will be an issue.I used Preview on my Mac and it worked fine sending it as a pdf
Strange wording. Then yeah I'd put it just to be safe but it won't affect your app at all.Here is what it says on the application.
"Have you even been convicted or pleaded no contest to any offense, misdemeanor, or felony in any state, the United States, or a foreign country? (Except violation in traffic laws resulting in fines of $200 or less)"
It gets cut off on your end but they see everything. Somehow, I really don't know how, but yeah. I asked last year about it.Yeah I had to make a new text box in that case :/ it does get cut off in those alotted boxes
Oh ok good to know thank you! Do you remember if you submitted the PDF with the fillable forms or did you flatten the PDF so that they couldn't change it?It gets cut off on your end but they see everything. Somehow, I really don't know how, but yeah. I asked last year about it.
noMy application was mailed out on 7/15 and I still haven't received secondary from UCLA. Should I be worried?
can't remember :\ I'd guess submitting with fillable forms would be safe though so I probably did that. I'm sure someone else on here submitting this year will chime inOh ok good to know thank you! Do you remember if you submitted the PDF with the fillable forms or did you flatten the PDF so that they couldn't change it?
How long after submitting the secondary did it update?I just checked School Decisions on AADSAS and UCLA already posted my status - Received/Application Complete. Figured I should let you all know!
Could you tell us when your AADSAS was mailed out?? Thanks!! And I don't think they will start to review your application (including supplemental) until they get your DAT score.Received the supplemental! Without my DAT scores being submitted yet! Normal ? I read earlier in the thread that it isn't.

same hereMailed on 7/22, still haven't received mine
I appreciate your input!Date designated: 06/29/2016
Date Mailed: 07/15/2016
-- w/o DAT scores.
Received the email 08/11/2016

I used preview on Mac but apparently ucla can read whatever gets cut off (see above)
I only used text boxes for the school section since I couldn't fit anything there like the dates of attendance and awards. I thought that was okay since it's an informational part. Other than that I kept my essays to fit the sections!
I believe if you "print" the document and change method to "PDF," they won't be able to access the text boxes you used while drafting.Does anyone know how to lock the forms on the PDF so they cannot be changed by anyone else?
Do you think it's bad if we just left it the way it was? Without locking it?I believe if you "print" the document and change method to "PDF," they won't be able to access the text boxes you used while drafting.
I doubt the Office of Admissions will mind!Do you think it's bad if we just left it the way it was? Without locking it?
The application cycle is really stressful, so totally understandable!I'm sorry but I'm a bit paranoid now.. I created text boxes for my responses. Theres no harm in doing that right?
Right here with you buddyAnybody whose AADSAS app was mailed out on 7/22, but has not received supplemental application from UCLA, please raise their right foot!
What do you mean by listed courses? I did not see that at all on the secondary.The application cycle is really stressful, so totally understandable!
When I applied, I didn't create text boxes and didn't go over the allotted space in the essay portion, out of fear that the ADCOM wouldn't be able to view the additional text. But this was also because I used the "print to PDF" function to stay within the 5 mb limit.
From my experiences thus far, they seem really flexible! For the listed courses where some people opted to create text boxes, I opted to shorten whatever words I could. Example: University of Southern California became Univ. of Southern CA.
If you're concerned, Noemi is very helpful and responds to emails quickly. I'd shoot her a quick email.
we're in this together my friendRight here with you buddy
My mistake. I meant somewhere in the middle where they ask you to list colleges attended, awards, degrees, timespan, etc.What do you mean by listed courses? I did not see that at all on the secondary.
Nope, still nothing Hopefully it'll come by this weekendAnyone with AADSAS mailed on 7/22 got their secondary yet?
same - also a dayI think a day after for me
Finally received supplemental email this morning. AADSAS mail out date is 7/22. Check your spam mail box if you don't see the email!
I'm still panicking! lol I have not received it yet!Me too same mail out! we panicked for nothing lolololllll
