<p>And im not talking about those 3.9 and above people. Im just curious as to how many people know someone who actually got accepted to both campuses. Personally, given the gpa 3.8 and below, I do not know of a transfer or freshman that got admitted to both. It was usually one or the other. and i know quite a lot of people who go to CAL or UCLA with the the same situation in mind, rarely if ever both. I find this to be quite interesting...it gives me hope though! I got rejected by UCLA, but im a bear at heart. 8 more days!!! bring it.</p>
<p>my friend and i got into cal and ucla with a 3.7ish last year.</p>
<p>you werent in tap or any cal or ucla program were you?</p>
<p>I got into the UCLA Comm program with a 3.83 and still waiting on UCB and UCSD…but am so excited ab out going to UCLA…baby</p>
<p>I got into both last year but with a 3.9x gpa tho. I am pretty sure there are plenty who got into both with lower stats.</p>
<p>some guy from Honors calc 1+2 did
some sort of engineering.</p>
<p>I was admitted to UCLA yesterday and I am praying for Berkeley next week, it’s my first choice.</p>
<p>I know 3 high school seniors that got into both but even more seniors that got into only one.</p>
<p><— 3.4 gpa. admitted to both in '08.</p>
<p>edit: as a transfer. (English major, if you’re wondering).</p>
<p>Wait - I don’t understand this - why would people get accepted into one and not the other? Its not like the campuses talk to each other is it?</p>
<p>It could just be a probability thing. Lets say you you have 60% chance of getting in to each school. The probability of getting in to both schools would be .6 x .6 = .36 or 36% chance of getting in to both. However GIVEN that you got into the first school (ucla) your probability of getting in to the second is still 60% (that is assuming of course that the two events are independent)</p>
<p>Feel free to tell me how messed up my probability is; i haven’t taken stats for 4 or 5 years.</p>
<p>@absurdmike: Your stats analysis is sound if we assume the events are indeed independent.</p>
<p>@solidblu: Different schools, different admission requirements, different applicant pool. It’s part luck and part preparation. The point is to not sweat it. Being admitted to one does not automatically signal rejection by the other and vice versa–being rejected by one does not mean you’ll be rejected by the other.</p>
<p>Oh good 
Cause I did get into UCLA, and I hope I get into CAL as well</p>
<p>AJ baby with ur Anthro stats of course you will!</p>
<p>@solidblu: Awesome =) I’m waiting for CAL too. What’s your major for UCLA?</p>
<p>@eits25. Any advice for transferring to UCLA? The english gpa is def above 3.4, what would you say pushed you over the edge and helped you get in? I’m polisci and will have around a 3.5/6ish by the spring before i hopefully transfer there.</p>
<p>■■■. 2008.
nevermind. Every year the gpa average sky rockets. ignore mee</p>
<p>i got into both this year with 4 C’s and one academic renewal. maybe that will boost your confidence.</p>
<p>I got into both with a 3.735. Had two W’s and one C. It can be done.</p>
<p>My S got into both with one W.</p>
