<p>No I know lol. That 10% means that people are obviously gonna get rejected by all 4 colleges. </p>
<p>But there are some very bright people on this sight(with some great stats), and i already know of at least 3 people from this board alone that were rejected by 4+. So it seems to me that more than 10% of the transfer applicants weren’t accepted to any of the 4 colleges they applied to.</p>
<p>Where did you get that statistic from? I’ve never come across it!</p>
<p>I remember it stating that on the UC website while I was applying.</p>
<p>So that’s why I applied to 4 colleges, hoping that it would improve my chances of getting into UCSD(since that was the easiest one to gain admittance to out of the 4 i applied to).</p>
<p>Wow, really? Need to look that up! </p>
<p>That’s weird because no UCs know if you have been accepted to any other UC, so I don’t know how that would take place. </p>
<p>Regardless, best of luck! [:</p>
<p>yea, the 90% statistics is valid i think…but only because most people also apply to “safety schools”, which gives them a better shot of being accepted to at least one.</p>
<p>my logic was twisted at the time though lol, because i didn’t apply to any safety schools. i just figured since ucsd admitted the highest percentage of transfer applicants out of the 4 colleges i applied to, my chances would be really good.</p>
<p>but like you said, UC’s don’t know whether or not you were accepted anywhere, so my thinking was faulty lol.</p>
<p>oh well, guess i’ll be applying WITH TAG for winter! woooo who’s with me??</p>
<p>“That’s weird because no UCs know if you have been accepted to any other UC, so I don’t know how that would take place.”</p>
<p>No this is not true. My roommate got rejected from Berkeley and UCR called him saying (paraphrased) “Hi, so we saw that you didn’t get into a school of your choice, we’d like to extend an invitation to you to our campus etc… etc…”</p>
<p>^
Are you serious? A Berkeley Rep, and my friend at UCSD who works for admissions told me that they have no idea. </p>
<p>My Honor’s counselor said the same…but you know what they say about counselors.</p>
<p>Ohhh…I just re-read that. UCR. The other UCs are kinda obligated to tell UCR because they need more students at their school. If another UC thinks that the student is UCR material, then they will send their application that a way. </p>
<p>I meant it like…if UCLA denied you, then UCSD will accept you for sure.</p>
<p>I can’t find the actual 90% statistic, however…</p>
<p>Since, the overall stats look like this</p>
<pre><code> Applicants Admits %
</code></pre>
<p>Total Unduplicated Applicants 24,866 18,978 76.3%
California community college 19,802 16,587 83.8%</p>
<p>I have to assume that of those nearly 84% that got accepted overall - of those that individually applied to 4, or more UC’s, have a higher acceptance rate. Statistics found here:
<a href=“http://www.universityofcalifornia.edu/admissions/undergrad_adm/paths_to_adm/transfer/tr_select_criteria.html[/url]”>http://www.universityofcalifornia.edu/admissions/undergrad_adm/paths_to_adm/transfer/tr_select_criteria.html</a></p>
<p>this exact same thing happened to me! I was just in time to get a random one unit class and I tried to update the UC system in march but im pretty sure they never got it because I emailed an individual UC counselor about it and as soon as I did all my acceptance letters came, I just got into UCLA, UCSB, and UCSC so make sure you email a real person not just the UC ambiguous email.</p>
<p>“UC guarantees a place on one of its campuses to all eligible California residents who apply on time. Keep in mind, though, that competitive campuses and programs look for applicants who exceed the minimum requirements when they select their students”</p>
<p>That is from the UC website. It doesn’t say 90% are accepted to atleast one campus. When you click Undergraduate Admissions it does say that more than 90% of students that “join the UC community” are from California</p>
<p>yea sacooperr, i was looking for the 90% stat earlier too, and i came across that. i mean it is definitely possible that i just misread the stat when i saw it during my application.</p>
<p>but i think with the 90% acceptance, they also factor in colleges like Riverside who grant some applicants admittance if they didn’t get in to any other colleges. So if i DID actually read the stat correctly, it is somewhat deceiving.</p>
<p>life is good lol…starting appeals tomorrow</p>
<p>Thank you for applying to UC Berkeley. After careful consideration, I am sorry to inform you that UC Berkeley is unable to offer you admission for the fall semester 2009.</p>
<p>Transfer decisions were very difficult this year, as competition for fall admission was exceptionally rigorous. Berkeley was able to admit less than a third of the 13,000-plus transfer applications, all of whom were very well qualified. I regret that many talented and promising transfer students will not be included in our entering class because of this high level of selectivity. I have prepared the answers to some frequently asked questions which provide additional information about the selection process and, I hope, address your concerns.</p>
<p>Given your academic qualifications, I know that you will receive other attractive college offers. I wish you every success in achieving your educational goals.</p>
<p>read the last line… lol!</p>
<p>seriously…this is such <strong><em>ing </em></strong>** i cant even begin to explain how *<strong><em>ed I am. now I gotta start kissing ass…writing an appeal…calling around…hoping just hoping that an admissions counselor will hear my case so i dont have to wait another *</em></strong>ing semester to transfer</p>
<p>Um . . . well . . . call, find out the reason for your rejection, consider whether or not you have an appeal case, appeal, and then quit cussing at us since we can’t really help you.</p>
<p>o cmon I’ll be so ****ed and desperate too. Good luck! I’m pretty sure if you explain in your appeal one of the schools will take you.</p>
<p>CC counselors are helllllllllla ■■■■■■■■ the only thing ive ever used them for is to sign me off for an unit overload. its kinda ur fault too tho, its not that hard to add up to 60…</p>
<p>why do so many people have trouble getting up to 60 units?
this is my first year at CC and ill have 51 by the end of spring semester…</p>
<p>but back to you, APPEAL, theres no harm done…</p>
