Mediocre ECs and Essays

My first rejection was from UCR, scared the sunshine out of me; it said I wasn’t elegible enough. Then I got rejected by UCLA, which was a no surprise. Then UCSB rejected me. After that it was UCD saying I wasn’t elegible enough, again. Miracle then happened, I got accepted to UCI. Then the next day I got rejected by UCSD.

All of them I declared as undeclared. So what troubles me is, is UCR better UCI or something? If I got rejected by UCR, UCLA, UCSB, UCD, UCSD and got accepted by UCI, is UCI the worst school among the UC schools I applied to?

<p>Which is not true. </p>

<p>The ranking usually puts UCR at the bottom, with UCI, UCSB and UCD fighting for the middle ranks, with UCSD following and finally UCLA at the top.</p>

<p>Frankly, I'm surprised you were admitted -- the admission process in UCs is extremely numbers driven and your GPA is rather low. </p>

<p>That aside, congratulations! If you do decide to go, UCI really is a good school.</p>
