<p>Hey, anyone here feel like they should have gotten in and didnt?
Or anyone shocked to find out they got into davis!
post your stories here</p>
<p>I know people that got into NYU and rejected at davis
and I got into UCSD and got rejected from davis.</p>
<p>Anyone know why? I thought Davis had a points system just like irvine and sd</p>
<p>I am so *<strong><em>ing *</em></strong>ed right now. People with terrible stats got in this year, and an ass load of people with better stats got waitlisted. Are you freaking serious? I can feel one of the arteries in my brain just bursting.
God damn UC Davis.</p>
<p>UC decisions are always funky. I remember I had a friend last year with a 1900 SAT and pretty average stats, but she got into Berkeley. Sometimes I feel like it all depends on the mood of the overworked admissions officer.</p>
<p>Edit: Also it’s important to keep in mind that it may not always be about stats. UCs are facing major budget cuts this year and with budget cuts comes a decrease in admission numbers. Thousands of qualified individuals are going to be turned away, which really sucks. A person may fit the point requirement for a particular UC, but it might not be enough.</p>
<p>i didnt get in with a 3.4 and 2090 sat. my best friend got in with a 3.5 and an 1890. we have the same exact extracurrics.</p>
<p>^ dear God, what the **** is happening at that campus</p>
<p>Rejected Davis, Waitlisted SB…
UC Gpa well over 4.0
boatload of EC’s and awesome essays. </p>
<p>NONE OF THIS MAKES SENSE</p>
<p>I’m going nuts right now</p>
<p>not only davis… everywhere</p>
<p>Don’t forget that it may not just be stats, essays are important too</p>
<p>yea. I was told my chances at UCD was highest compared to UCSB UCSD and UCI <.<. Apparently its like the other way around -.-. Got rejected from UCD UCSB 
and got in UCI and UCSD <.<</p>
<p>Shibykin why do you keep **<strong><em>ing about being rejected from UCD and UCSB-you got into *</em></strong>ing UCSD for crying out loud! Be happy damnit-look at all of us here who probably had better stats than you and got either rejected or waitlisted. Be grateful for what you have</p>

<h1>1: writing about how growing up as an identical twin has affected me</h1>
<h1>2: writing about a tutoring experience for NHS. For the past 3 months i have been tutoring two spanish-speaking exchange students that do not speak english. i helped them prepare for the mathematics portion of the california high school exit exam (spanish is not my native language, but i was able to use the spanish i have been learning during the past four years to successfully communicate with them, teach them what they needed to know)</h1>
<p>lol. i got waitlisted
i actually think its kinda funny</p>
<p>davis was one of my top three. 3.7 & 2070. tons of extra curriculars - especially with animals, which i wanted to major in. this is freaking crazy. i’ve been prepping for davis since i was like twelve. ugh.</p>
<p>honestly, it’s probably the majors you guys applied for.</p>
<p>there are impacted majors that are more competitive than others.</p>
<p>@KMA not my fault if ur essay or something else about ur application didnt get u in?</p>
<p>I think each UC has it’s own ideal student and some fit one’s UC’s expectations closer than the other. I got rejected to UCI and UCD but I got into UCSC and UCSB. My friend got into UCSD but got rejected to UCI, and my friend who got rejected to UCSB got into UCI. I honestly don’t know what they look for in a student (it’s obviously not just GPA as far as the eye can see, it must be essays or something). Well I wish you all the best of luck and I hope all you waitlisters get in! Now it’s time for me to decide which Santa would be better for me… hmmm</p>
<p>how was i waitlisted??? Davis was my first freaking choice!! :(</p>

<p>yea its not. Im just asking why youre complaining about not being accepted to Davis, when you got into a school much better than it</p>
<p>omg sunshine143, i totally know where you’re coming from. i’m in the same boat pretty much.</p>
<p>cuz a rejection letter is still a rejection letter duh. W.E Cal is last and lets see what happens :)</p>
<p>and KMA, you have full right to complain. like wthh you should have gotten in</p>
