[li] Why you think you were accepted/waitlisted/rejected: My UC Davis GPA has been steadily increasing, with all A’s for the last several quarters. UCD is also equally ranked with UCSD currently. I felt great about my essay and had a good amount of experience relevant to my major.</p>[/li]

<p>@science say WHAT?! I’m really scratching my head right now</p>

<p>Can you think of ANY reasons as to why they would reject you though…?</p>

<p>Perhaps because he doesn’t/won’t have his pre-reqs completed on time in a very competitive major.</p>

<p>Yeah, because Bio is one of the few impacted majors at SD. It says it clearly on the website that you have to finish all the prereqs.</p>

<p>Missing prerequisites + impacted major</p>

<p>biology is insanely impacted at ucsd</p>
