Any way to show a UC that i have more interest in that one?

<p>I'm applying to more than one UC but my top choice is Santa Barbara. Is there any way to make them want to accept me more? My english teacher gave us admissions papers and they said this guy was going to go on the wait list for some good university but at the end of this essay he put that college was at the top of his list so they accepted him.</p>

<p>i don't think there's a way to do that becuase the essays get sent to all UC's. I went to the UCSB workshop at my school and they took down my name and info but i don't nkow if there's any way i can show them i have more interest.</p>

<p>UCs don't care how much interest you have in them.</p>

<p>Only private schools are that superficial.</p>
