<p>Little Brother also got handed the rejection notice, and he was ELC too -- but it's off to Irvine for him ...</p>
<p>Sound&Fury, are you fake?</p>
<p>No, I am not fake, just very dissapointed</p>
<p>i was sleeping and then i got a phone call from a friend telling me that decisions are posted. i checked and got rejected to UCSD, my number one choice. i wish i could be able to say the college i got accepted to and the major, but that's not the case!</p>
<p>i'm still waiting for UCI, UCSB, UCLA and a couple of out of state schools. iffy with UCLA and the out of state schools though =/</p>
<p>oh man,Sound&Fury, and other rejectees out there, idont even know why u guys got rejected.. it seems like UCSD is getting more..brutal i guess
idk why i got accepted cuz my stats are mediocre
2070 SAT1, 800M2,770 chinese, 4.2ish UC GPA ~ =/</p>
<p>I got rejected as well, which brings me to 0/2 for UCs and 6/8 total.</p>
<p>GPA-3.848
SAT-2060
ACT-31</p>
<p>Feels good not to be a reject loner anymore! :D 0/2 for UC's like ElBlufer :I</p>
<p>I spoke with a UCLA Admissions rep about 2 weeks ago, she stated there will be a 20% cut in Freshmen admissions.</p>
<p>UCLA said they would cut 85 spots</p>
<p>Sound&Fure:</p>
<p>Me too! I was accepted into WUSTL yesterday and was extremely confident about making it into UCSD. It was a shocker to see the rejection note... A serious shocker.</p>
<p>Sound&Fury and iTransient:</p>
<p>Haha same here! An acceptance packet late last night and a surprising online rejection this morning... at least we have St. Louis.</p>
<p>I got accepted into SB this morning and came home to an unsettling rejection from SD.</p>
<p>Sound&Fury, sorry about your rejection. It is just that your stats are amazingly strong. So it is hard to believe you got rejected from ucsd. I did not think ucsd suffers from tufts. I am sure you will have better luck w/ cal and ucla.</p>
<p>yeah you guys... wait till cal and la comes about
then if you still need to, you can always appeal.
And yes, like the what others said, i know a bunch of ppl who didnt make sd but still make cal and la...
sd just has a diff admission process.</p>
<p>i remember when i first got rejected by ucsd. i was crushed. it literally felt like gravity was pulling me down to the earth below. that was the true definition of "depressed."</p>
<p>@ gwu_girl I have the same stats & story. Accepted.</p>
<p>who gets rejected from UCSD but than gets into UCB or UCLA
i dont believe that =[</p>
<p>^^^^ agree ... i dont think that i can get into UCB and UCLA after being rejected from UCSD... </p>
<p>i am sinking into depression now... finals start from 2morw ... gonna screw them up also ...</p>
<p>I heard that it's because Cal and UCLA actually reads essay whereas UCSD and UCD scan the essays for points to add for the Comprehensive Review system.</p>
<p>^ Yeahh. It's a different process. A good essay can get you into UCB/UCLA if you're a "bubble" person...but a good essay won't do anything for you at UCSD..</p>
<p>Also, my college counselor used to work in admissions at UCLA and she told me something interesting. She said that UCLA/UCB both look for "geographical diversity," so if you are from Nor Cal, you have a better chance at UCLA than you do UCB, and if you are from So Cal, you have a better chance at Berkeley...She said it doesn't make a HUGE difference, but it does factor in a bit..and every bit seems to count.</p>
<p>She also told me that they rate each person 1-5, with 5 being an academic/EC GOD and 1 being someone who barely made it through high school. Nothing is counted against you on your application, there are only things counted for you. So basically, everyone starts at 1 and they move you up the scale as they go through your app..However, there is nothing that will move you down. I'm not sure if this is the process at UCB, but they do this at UCLA...supposedly.</p>
