Did anyone get rejected from a lower-tier UC only to get accepted at a higher one?

<p>No need to wait. Take Berkeley and you won’t regret your decision. Berkeley has always been my dream and I actually have never had much interest in LA yet God played a game — I’m into LA and now it seems LA my first choice.</p>

<p>My brother got rejected from Cal Poly SLO, but he got accepted into UCSD. I think Cal Poly misinterpreted his application somehow, but it doesn’t matter because he didn’t really want to go there anyway.</p>
