<p>You did NOTHING wrong.
Your stat is very impressive.
It is really surprising that UCI and UCD did not take you - did you egg their schools or what?
Cal and UCLA are dicey (~90,000, ~100,000 applicants respectively this year).</p>
<p>To tell you the truth, now I am worry about my younger D chances at UC next year.</p>
<p>Other info:
UCSD is a very rigorous school in a beautiful setting.
My boss went to UCSD and got his PhD at Stanford (years ago - we are old farts).
Two of my wife’s colleagues’ kids went to UCSD a few years ago.
One was in neuroscience and he is now doing graduate degree at Johns Hopkins (ah, beautiful/tranquil Baltimore).
The other did BioChem at UCSD, he is now getting a law degree at George Washington (yes, we need another lawyer in this country).</p>
