<p>I think it seems to be true. Lol</p>
<p>Any evidence? And I believe top applicants get regents, not waitlist.</p>
<p>So do think that the waitlisted applicant are not strong enough?</p>
<p>UC Davis is a state school. they follow the rules and dont play games.</p>
<p>I got into UC Davis today and I noticed that people with way higher stats than me are getting waitlisted. I don’t know what’s up with that… I guess they really liked my essays :)</p>
<p>But why so many people with 2100-2200 SATs got waitlisted?</p>
<p>Tuft’s Syndrome says, “Yield protection is an alleged admissions practice where a university or academic institution rejects or wait-lists highly qualified students on the grounds that such students are bound to be accepted by more prestigious universities or programs.”</p>
<p>I never really though it would come to UCs. Interestingly, “Beauty is in the eye of the beholder”. When D got wait listed at WashU @ St. Louis, I figured it was a case of Tuft’s Syndrome. Here she is accepted at UCD with Regents Scholarship. </p>
<p>I though I had the answers… All I know now is it that college admissions for the top 20% of kids a CRAPSHOOT!!!</p>
<p>My Very BEST WISHES to all of you with high GPA and SAT Scores. Hang in there. You are bound to end up in a good college.</p>
<p>But unfortunately, I was rejected by many of my top colleges including WashU, not even accepted by one of them so far. SAT: 2070 ( Maybe too low) SAT II Physics 800 MathII 800. GPA 3.62</p>
<p>@MYOMOO I feel your pain. Here is what my D asked me today, “Dad I have so far got into all of my ‘Likely’ Schools and not into any of my ‘Target’ schools. Was I shooting too high?”. With your scores I am sure there is a very good schools that you are destined to attend. Just hang in there. Best Wishes!!!</p>
<p>lmao, no. As someone mentioned they receive Regent’s and enroll into ISHP. Why would Davis turn away people that are “too good for them”? Of course they want them, that’s nearly the point of Regent’s, to basically buy in the future worldbeaters.</p>
<p>Those people get turned away either for a legit reason (i.e. SAT is NOT EVERYTHING!!! Not even close!) OR it’s because the system is actually pretty strange and inconsistent. My roommate got into UCD but rejected from UCI. Someone else I know got into UCI but was rejected from UCD.</p>
<p>Best of luck to everyone! Don’t worry, you will all survive and be successful no matter what goes on here!</p>
<p>Thank you. I really appreciate your reply.</p>
<p>Do you think I will be accepted by UCLA, UCB or UCSD? My UC Index is top 9%.</p>
<p>I think maybe GPA is the key point. I have some Cs in my transcript but no D. A number of B in my English. Straight As in social and pjysical science.</p>
<p>Well you know, it’s not all about GPA and SAT scores. How were your essays and extracurriculars?</p>
<p>GPA takes precedent over everything. I got into UCD and UCSD but not UCLA, UCB, Cal Poly SLO or USC, and that can probably be attributed to my GPA being comparatively low despite really good EC’s. GPA is the first and foremost attribute if getting into a good college is your only focus. I think your chances at UCSD are decent, but UCLA and UC Berkeley are reaches for nearly everyone, and their admissions tend to be inconsistent, even moreso than the other UCs.</p>
<p>I used the same ECs and Essays in my UC Application as in my MIT EA application. The result is first deferred and then rejected. I don’t think there should be any significant problems for these stuffs. I think maybe is my transcript. My GPA is a little low (from 3.5-3.8). I just provided my three years academic records and the visual courses are misssing. I think these may be the reason why I got wait listed… Do you think I still have a chance to get accepted? Thanks.</p>
<p>I had an SAT of 2170 and am in the top 1% of my class and I got accepted with the Regents Scholarship, not waitlisted.</p>
<p>@MyoMoo Please check you PMs</p>
<p>That is a very good stats. However, someone in CC has 2280 SAT and 3.8 GPA was waitlisted. Why?</p>
<p>I think state colleges give more weight to your requirements as stated by them (required list of classes, GPA, class rank etc) more than SAT scores.</p>
