A little worried/upset

<p>I recently discovered that I was rejected by UCSD</p>

<p>Now correct me if Im wrong but the "UC GPA" is the "GPA" that the colleges have as their reported averages correct and is the GPA for grades 10 & 11?</p>

<p>If so my UC gpa is a 4.15
My Sat was a 2080
over 50 hours of community service (although this wasnt all done when i applied)
NHS, marching band, wind ensemble, cross country, track</p>

<p>I dont know where I went wrong, conversely I have 3 friends who all were worse than me (one had three D's, another a few C's, and all three had SAT's below 1900) who all got into UCSD)</p>

<p>I did however get into UCSB but a lot of my classmates who were also quite a bit lower than me got in, and now Im worried i wont get into Berkely or LA.</p>

<p>What gives here? And what are my chances for UCLA and UCB?</p>

<p>Well UCs are weird like that. As i said before a friend of mine was accepted to UCSD and rejected from UCI. There could some factors like, race or something in your application the admission office interpreted wrong.</p>

<p>If you really wanted to go to UCSD, you could probably ask for an appeal, and ask how many points you had </p>

<p>Though i don't really know much about UCLA or UCB, but for right now all you can do is wait.</p>

<p>Good luck to you!</p>

<p>So far for their races, one is black, one is white, one is asian, and one is mexican.</p>

<p>Although I know the white one has a sob story that probably helped in his PS. The others probably have the racial factor, except the asian one which doesnt make any sense at all.</p>

<p>I also have another asian friend who got in, but he is legit, and extremely intelligent.</p>

<p>I dont know... i guess you are right, the whole admission system is a bit ridiculous, but my rejection does not inspire confidence none the less.</p>
