Amazing. Congratulations!

Thank you!

[@nabi5864]

Awesome Congrats with schools you got into! I got accepted to Stanford and UCBerk... However, although Stanford was my dream school, I had to go with UCBerk-Free ride!... Stanford would of costed $200k even with financial aid, grants & Scholarships ... All my friends got rejected to Stan.. I think the main factor of me getting accepted was the fact that I had a phd Stanford Guide-Mentor for a year ... yes a very expensive investment at that

[@markus_park]

Congratulations! Really hoping to get to UCLA too!

[@allison_chen]

Thanks so much! Good luck with application season!!!

[@ayxansafarov1859]

I got waitlisted from Stanford. The desicions haven’t come out yet. What should I do?

[@allison_chen]

First of all, CONGRATS! I also have waitlists that didn’t come out for a while. Maybe politely emailing them can be an option?

Congratulations!!! Where are you going this fall?

[@allison_chen]

Thank you and I plan to go UCLA :)

[@stormsadventures4471]

Do you remember when you first applied for these colleges, or a vague time? I need to apply this year to graduate my high-school.

[@allison_chen]

I did apply early action, so I started submitting applications at the end of November. The whole application process, starting from choosing schools, started around March-June of junior year for me.

[@adios04]

Congrats! What's your major at UCLA?

[@allison_chen]

I'm a pre-math/econ major, but I'm also still considering other majors

[@adios04]

@@allison_chen oooh nice

[@robjohnston366]

@@allison_chen Mathematics/Economics is a great major and it's housed in the math department. A lot of students who major in it will attach the Specialization in Computing, which is like a coding minor, and/or they will often attach a Statistics minor or major to it. Those who've graduated with the Math/Econ major have good options in the quant side of business, and those who choose to go to grad school have gotten into top-tier grad MS programs in Quant Finance or Econ, Financial Math or Engineering, Data Science, Stats, etc. UCLA also has a minor in Social Data Science and Data Science Engineering, and there are seven majors in the math department including one called Financial Actuarial Mathematics. Stats is considered in a different department than math and co-houses UCLA's Data Theory, which is UCLA's version of Data Science with some high-level theory; they consider it to be equivalent to a masters program. All the best, you have some great choices.

[@allison_chen]

@@robjohnston366 Thank you for this helpful information! I was just thinking about switching to maybe Statistics or Data Theory!

[@robjohnston366]

@@allison_chen Let me try to post a standalone post on Data Theory and Stats so that it might show up.

[@robjohnston366]

It looks like you're more into the science-side of data/analytics; otherwise, I could have written something about UCLA's Business Economics and Economics programs which have gotten bad-mouthed by some because UCLA doesn't officially have a pure undergrad bus major. Anderson School of Management (ASM), UCLA's mainly grad bus program, offers Management classes to undergrads, and the combination of business and economics at UCLA is really good preparatory for business-sector jobs -- Economics has > 100 class offerings including the 106 A-V courses (~ 11 courses) which are more finance-related. UCLA also has minors in Accounting and Entrepreneurship. Let me shorten my message even more so that it hopefully takes... Regarding Stats and Data Science... I had to reread my previous writeup, and the thing I didn't say about Stats is that it's a fairly short major [and in its writeup, the department recommends that students explore other perusals to combine with Stats]. I just glanced at the university's writeup on it, and it has 7 premajor and 13 upperdivision, 20 classes which are required for a degree, and Data Theory has what looks like 11 and 13, 24 total. Many if not most students who major in Stats will combine it with something else as, e.g., Math/Econ per what I stated above [or most will with Econ and Bus Econ], but other things to combine it with, would be with Applied Math/Pure Math or with something like Physics; or even something like Stats and Sociology, of which I've heard. I'm not sure what the latter combination has to do with anything, but that's just my opinion -- actually, it's more of a social analytics thing, I guess. DT has ~3.3 requirement in prereq courses and Stats a 2.7. DT is a capstone major w/ senior project -- outside group consulting, methinks. DT is also a new major; it started in 2019, and it should blowup in popularity, and some with loads of AP or dual-enrollment credits are combining DT with things like Econ or Bus Econ, but the minors I listed above are to alleviate a total units problem. Again, all the best!
