<p>I also got into Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Northeastern, Univ of Washington, UCSB w/ Honors (so far)</p>

<p>Rejected by UCLA</p>

<p>I’m still in disbelief! Congrats to the ucsd class of 2015! And if you didn’t get in, you’ll love wherever you end up going!</p>

<p>Accepted (32 SAT, 4.2 W GPA) … and I’m happy about that (especially after reading some of these acceptance/rejection stories) … but I was admitted to Sixth College, which was my 4th choice … are many people with acceptances getting such low choices on their colleges?</p>

<p>@eyes: my friend who was way more qualified than me got his fourth choice. I got my first. Not sure how that works.</p>

<p>Why is it that some people ranked Revelle last and got in, yet I ranked it first and got my second choice?</p>

<p>The subcollege admissions were crazy this year! Im Happy to have gotten my first choice college despite getting my second choice major.</p>
