<p>To be completely honest (and you probably figured this out on your own), UCSD imagines that students with stats that high likely applied to UCLA and Berkeley as well (and would choose those over SD). Unless your son is applying to be a Med Scholar or is in the running for a Regent’s or Jacob’s scholarship, there’s little point accepting someone who has no intention of attending. Especially since SD had a record number of applicants this year the school might have judged this move necessary.</p>
<p>Of course, I am not a spokesperson for UCSD. However, this is what common sense tells me happened.</p>
<p>Basically, don’t be too offended because at the least your son is sure to land a spot in LA, Berkeley or both.</p>
