Confused on why top students are rejected at UCSD

@jshain

cannot add a whole lot to what’s already been said except that some of the decision making, on who gets accepted or not, depends on an applicants intended major.

<p>No no no no no no no no no no no no no.</p>

As to transferring, I guess my question would be, why would I assume my son could get accepted as a transfer any easier than getting accepted as a freshman?

<p>I’m not sure of the specifics (except that you need at least a 3.5 GPA), but the TAG agreement can guarantee you transfer into UCSD.</p>

<p>And let’s all stop discussing the points system, please. It was almost completely eradicated this year and next year UCSD will be entirely holistic.</p>
