if you had an interviewer ask you a question about "which applicant you would pick between one with special needs vs one that was a minority with otherwise identical applications," i may consider asking for a new interview/reaching out to someone you trust to see if you should ask for a new one. i didn't but wish i had after getting waitlisted last year. my lack of success could have been for reasons entirely unrelated, but i can't help but wonder. i know we arent supposed to talk about interviews, but...

Insane question to ask btw. I've practiced over 200+ mmi questions and I have no idea how I would even begin to approach this question...

this is the norm for me and most of my classmates I think!

Are you a current student?

yeah

I'm glad it's a common occurrence even among admitted students! Thanks for giving me hope hahahaha

would you mind sharing where did you get that information? thank you!

Could UCLA send out decisions as early as Oct. 15, or is it always end of Oct.?

Earliest I saw last year on SDN was Oct 17 or so
