Am I screwed?

<p>I just got my rejection from SDSU :( not too sad because it was one of my backups but I thought it was kind of a safety for me</p>

<p>gpa: 3.8 unweighted
SAT: 2070
Hook: URM, first generation college
extras:3 years Varsity cheer, senior class v.p.</p>

<p>anyways, if i got rejected from SDSU does that mean I should pretty much give up hope for the UCs which come out later this month?</p>

<p>I am seriously in shock that you got rejected! have you ever been in any trouble at school? anything that would cause this?</p>

<p>but please dont worry about the UCs I could see you getting into quite a few easily. Im sorry!</p>

<p>Don’t fret!</p>

<p>My friend was accepted to Yale and Georgetown and didn’t get into SDSU! It happens quite often actually.</p>

<p>SDSU gets about 30,000 applicants a year! Sometimes they reject the good ones…</p>

<p>you are obviously over-qualified for SDSU level, so they would rather turn you down first to save the slot for a more fit student than you turn them down later. </p>

<p>Your stats look good! You will have no problem getting into UCs!</p>

<p>@ Cheyenne: nope i’ve never done anything bad (i.e. suspensions or anything of that sort)
@ erik & dilettante: thanks guys i hope so! i’m just hoping this isn’t foreshadowing what’s to come later this month =X</p>

<p>SDSU got over 60,000 applications this year and only had 6000 spots due to ridiculous budget cuts in california, but like dilettante said you are obviously over-qualified. However, your stats look perfect for a majority of the UC’s, especially your SAT.
What UC’s did you apply to?</p>

<p>Nope, you’re not screwed. I got rejected from SDSU graphic design, but got into Cal Poly SLO graphic communications. 3.5 CSU GPA, 1900 SAT. I’ve only heard back from UC Riverside so far, but I got in, which I suppose would be a good sign. It doesn’t really matter because I’ve committed to Cal Poly, but I’m just letting you know you don’t necessarily have to worry.</p>

<p>yeah maybe it’s partially luck of the draw because i do have a friend with similar stats as myself and she got into SDSU but not Slo, & i’m the opposite (got into SLO, but not SDSU). </p>

<p>as far as UCs go, I only applied to LA, Berkeley, & SB.
i know that LA & Berkeley are difficult to get into but i’m an optimist and I’m just trying to stay positive until I have a reason not to be :)</p>
