So I was just wondering about whether or not UCD rejects/waitlists overqualified students. It’s not that I think I’m a super great student, but I find it wierd that i got into first choice college and major at UCSD (electrical engineering) but didnt for davis. It has me kinda worried for my chances at UCLA

Each UC uses 14 areas of criteria to review applications. One campus may view your application, EC’s and essays differently than another campus. Many times there is no rhyme or reason to the acceptances. Be happy and proud that you have been accepted into a great school. Do not focus on the rejections but on your wonderful acceptance(s). Good Luck.
Not being accepted at UCD will have no effect on whether you are accepted at UCLA.
