<p>Seems more like</p>
<p>2000 SAT. 3.7+ GPA then we will look at your application.</p>
<p>i get it you’re bitter, but no, you’re wrong. younger brother got in 2 years ago without meeting those benchmarks.</p>
<p>^Obviously due to legacy from you. Are you an URM as well?</p>
<p>Well im sort of bitter, but i was expecting to be rejected anyways.</p>
<p>UCs don’t consider legacy.</p>
<p>BTW, I’m on the otherside of the spectrum.
2240 SAT 800 on both subject tests, rejected. Holistic admissions /sigh</p>
<p>I got in with an 1840 and 3.6.</p>
<p>It’s all a crapshoot, don’t feel bad about it. I was on the higher end of the scale, I didn’t think my younger brother was going to get in (parents were super surprised). I’m probably one of the overrepresented groups on campus… god I hate feeding ■■■■■■.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>My bad on that.</p>
<p>UCs don’t practice affirmative action as well.</p>
<p>haha!</p>
<p>CalvinTBOD, you dumb.</p>
<p>the politically correct answer is that UC’s do not practice affirmative action but…here’s an interesting article from 2 years ago about holistic admissions:</p>
<p>[UCLA</a> accused of illegal admitting practices - Los Angeles Times](<a href=“http://articles.latimes.com/2008/aug/30/local/me-ucla30]UCLA”>UCLA accused of illegal admitting practices)</p>
<p>Excerpt:</p>
<p>Arguing that UCLA admissions policies are being manipulated to circumvent the state’s ban on consideration of applicants’ race, a professor there has resigned from a faculty committee that he says refused to allow him to study the matter.</p>
<p>Political science professor Tim Groseclose resigned Thursday from the Committee on Undergraduate Admissions and Relations with Schools, saying high-ranking university administrators and fellow committee members are engaged in a “coverup” to block illegal activity from being discovered.</p>
<p>“A growing body of evidence strongly suggests that UCLA is cheating on admissions,” he wrote in an 89-page report posted on a UCLA website. </p>
<hr>
<p>IMO its not a coincidence that the number of URM have increased since the holistic admissions has been introduced. (not arguing if its a good/bad thing)</p>
<p>If admissions was only based on #'s, it would really embody University of Lost Caucasians among Asians.</p>
<p>And I, being a Taiwanese-American, certainly don’t want to just see a bunch of asians running around the campus.</p>
<p>Re the URM issue: I’ve heard that the UCs in general use the 2 essays on “your world” and your background in part to determine whether the applicant is a URM or not. Just a rumor, but it sounds like a probable solution they would use to bypass the “no affirmative action” rule in CA state colleges.</p>
<p>the OP is just mad</p>
