<p>Maybe it is true. Berkeley’s rejection is coming…</p>
<p>I got rejected by UCSD too. Lol. What now…</p>
<p>@MYOMOO It looks like your disadvantage was the the fact that you only had one year (or was it 2?) of education in the US and that seems to be hurting your chances. Unfortunately what you needed was a good college counselor that could have to help you with your application. I am hoping you will get into one of the UCs but looking at your credentials, I would have you look at a community college that will give you the background to transfer into a UC in your Junior year.</p>
<p>Yes, I know it is not the same, but at the end of the day it only matters which college you have the degree from. I am rooting for you…</p>
<p>I did see that you got accepted at RPI. I say take it and run with it. UC have some strange requirements.</p>
<p>@MYOMOO before I say this, I apologize if what I’m about to say is rude, but if your GPA and SATs are as low as they are, why are you surprised that schools like UCSD, MIT, and UChicago aren’t accepting you? Unless your essays were something awe inspiring, and you had REALLY GOOD ECs, you absolutely never stood a chance. People get rejected to MIT and UChicago with 4.5 GPAs and 2350 SATs, so your expectation to get in was just unrealistic. That tied with the fact that you’re missing an A-G course, even something as simple as Visual Art, makes you look undetermined. I’m sorry if I offended you but you honestly have to be realistic with your expectations. With that said, I do wish you luck where-ever you ultimately end up going, be it a 4 year or a CC.</p>
<p>However some people with great stats, like GamerAddict, still cannot get in a UC. What does that mean? I don’t think I was so weak that I cannot get in a four-year college. I was firse deferred by MIT, not rejected. I know 25% were rejected in the early action round. That means I did better than 25% of MIT applicants, right? So I think with this stats, I won’t end up with CC. Thank you… :(</p>
<p>Just wondering but who is accepting the offer of being on the waitlist for UCD?!</p>
<p>What is your result? You got in right? Also got in UCSD? I just envy… :(</p>
<p>I got waitlisted, but I don’t think I was overqualified, my SAT is 1860, and my GPA is 3.8. So in my case, it was probably just tough competition? However, I did get a supplemental request from Berkeley, but I doubt that’s an indicator of favor.</p>
<p>You got a supplement from UC Berkeley? Are you invited to apply the Berkeley Alumni Scholarship?</p>
<p>Yeah, I received one. I also received the invitation for the alumni scholarships as well, however I did not apply to them because I feel uncompetitive applying to Berkeley as it is, so there was very little chance I would have been awarded one.</p>
<p>Man. I have SAT1 2070, Physics 800 and Math II 800. GPA 3.6. Lots of ECs and fine essays. I did not get supplements from UCB or UCLA. Do you think I was automatically rejected… :(:(:(:(:(</p>
<p>Results:
Rejected from UCSD, Waitlisted from UC Davis…</p>
<p>:(:(:(:(:(</p>
<p>I feel for you man. No, I don’t think you got “automatically rejected.” Just because you didn’t get a supplemental doesn’t mean you got rejected. A supplemental application is for borderline applicants.</p>
<p>Sorry, but if you have a 3.6 GPA, you are not over qualified. A sub 2100 SAT also does not make you over qualified. </p>
<p>However, congrats on the SAT II’s. 800’s are always nice. :)</p>
<p>Anyways, sorry for the bluntness of my message, but you should look into your UC GPA and if it’s not around 4.0+, then that may be your problem, especially if you’re looking at a competitive major.</p>
<p>I applied CS and Engineering at Davis which I am assuming is a fairly competitive, but not impacted major. (Assuming, I’ve done next to no research on Davis)</p>
<p>And Keep in mind that
- A 4.0 UC GPA is common and is not considered top 10% in terms of getting into top schools I think
- UCLA and UC Berkeley will consider your weighted GPA over your UC GPA.
- a supplement is for those who may get rejected from a UC but the UC wants to know why you should be considered</p>
<p>Thank you guys. I think I may get rejected, though. Do you guys who have similar stats like me got in Davis’ physics program? I don’t think physics is impacted in Davis. Am I right?</p>
<p>Any of you received UCB Supplement and waitlisted at UC Davis?</p>
<p>Please post your stats: :)</p>
<p>not for nothin, a “UCGPA” is indeed weighted… the UC “A-G” requirements, taken in 10th and 11th, make up the UC GPA, and EACH high school is evaluated individually, and the UC’s decide if it counts as honors or AP,and whether or not you get a 5 or 4 for an “A” grade…</p>
<p>in my school, some honors classes, not even AP’s, count for UC as 5.0 for the A… but others do not…</p>
<p>Lots of high school have their honors/ap classes “certified” by the UC’s, but some schools don’t…</p>
<p>to make a long story much shorter… your “UC GPA” IS considered “weighted” if you have taken classes that qualify for the weighted grade…</p>
<p>It’s not possible to have an “unweighted UC GPA” if you’ve taken any weighted classes that are approved for the extra weight by UC… a “UC GPA” means that they’ve already factored it in… and for Davis, Berkeley, or SB, even SD, it better be OVER 4.0 if you want to get excited about going…</p>
<p>This is the first year that UC Davis isn’t required to accept all ELC students. Do you people seriously think you can accuse UCD of Tufts Syndrome after one round of admissions? The overqualified students aren’t wait listed, they receive Regents scholarships.</p>
<p>Oh. That is really bad… Maybe I will be rejected automatically from UCLA and UCB… :(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(</p>
<p>UCB and UCLA aren’t under ELC. Also, just because you didn’t get into Davis DOES NOT mean that you’ll be rejected from LA or Cal. You never know with college admissions. A (“more competitive”) college might think that you’re a good fit, while another (“less competitive”) college might not.</p>
