<p>Many people in the previous years have gotten rejected from LA, but accepeted to Cal.</p>
<p>Are you guys still pumped for Cal's admission decsions, or have you given up hope?</p>
<p>I have heard more often of rejects from UCLA getting spring admission at Cal. I'm not sure how much hope I have, really...</p>
<p>My school had a "curse" in recent years -- if you got accepted to UCLA, you weren't accepted to UCB, and vice versa. It proved shockingly true during my senior year -- lots of kids got into UCB, but only one got into UCLA (and he didn't get into UCB).</p>
<p>To be honest, I imagine it's true only to the extent that UCLA and UCB screen for different things. UCLA is much, much more interested in ECs; UCB is more interested in numbers. (Before this causes any outrage, note the comparative there, not the absolute.)</p>
<p>I still have hope for UCB.</p>
<p>Good for you Orien!</p>
<p>Still have hope. :)</p>
<p>I almost wish the "you get into either/or not both" was true so I'd know I'm in. Although that still wouldn't be certain...</p>
<p>I gave up. I thought my ECs WERE my strength, but apparently UCLA decided against me. So now UCB looks like a definite no. sigh..</p>
<p>same^ =(</p>
<p>actually i thought my essay was my strength</p>
<p>I've pretty much given up. I thought I'd get some sympathy since I'm first-generation and whatnot, but I guess not...</p>
<p>Does UCB put any more emphasis on SAT's over GPA than UCLA?</p>
<p>My S got rejected from UCLA with a 3.7/3.96 W GPA, with 2270 SAT's (CR 800, W 780 and M 690).</p>
<p>Moreover, he got all A's first semester, so now his GPA is 3.76/4.09, but neither UCLA nor UCB has asked for them.</p>
<p>my gpa's pretty weak. so while i got into USC for business, im bracing myself for a cal rejection</p>
<p>Does appying for the scholarship (Alumni and Dr. Ralph J. Bunche) affect UCLA's decision?</p>
<p>The tricks is to never lose hope, even when in line for death row.</p>

</p>
<p>Not necessarily; the UC's are pretty clear in that they value GPA over SAT; 4 years worth of work over 4 hours worth.</p>
<p>Best of luck, with stats like those he'll likely end up somewhere good!</p>
<p>I agree No Quarter and zwankie; I had thought my ec's were stronger than my grades. Too bad there's this whole talk about UCLA accepting people with lower grades and great ec's. :( JW Muller, that is almost my exact SAT score! My GPA is slightly higher. Haha rejected as well though, so that gets us nowhere...</p>
<p>See I'm worried about Berkeley wanting to see a higher math score... Don't they like sciencey/mathy people better than people with good critical reading scores?</p>
<p>I like how UCLA brought me back down from Cloud Nine. Now, getting rejected from Cal won't feel I got gutted.</p>
<p>I just hope they see my major improvement between sophomore year and junior year.</p>
<p>ucla out yet? just curious....</p>
<p>Dreamspace - UCLA decisions are out. </p>
<p>I am having no hope of getting into Cal after being rejected from GeorgiaTech and UCLA on the same day.</p>
<p>girl from my school was rejected from UCLA last year and got into either MIT or Harvard, and Berkeley.</p>
<p>As far as I know, it happens every year.</p>
