Being Accepted (after being rejected) in the Winter?

Applying to College
1

<p>I just graduated high school and went through the application process and was not accepted anywhere that I wanted to go, so I am going to do the honors program at a CCC. I have a friend who is one year older however, tell me that she got acceptances into colleges in the following winter that originally denied her in the spring (for example, UCSB and CSULB).</p>

<p>How common is this?</p>

<p>I applied to UCLA, SB, D, and B (and some other insignificant schools.)
My high school stats were 1830 SAT, 28 ACT, 3.9 UC GPA, regular EC's.</p>

<p>Thank you!</p>

<p>For some places, it is easier to get accepted if you will enroll in the summer session or in the winter. There are a number of reasons for this. Two of them are: most students want to start in the fall, so more students apply for that term, and fall admissions statistics are what gets reported to USNWR and is used in ranking colleges and universities.</p>
