<p>its been a bizarre year. alot of very qualified applicants to UCSD got booted to UCI and those who thought they would go to UCLA got rejected and have to go to SD...*** is going on?</p>
<p>yeah flong, i really wanted ucsd, but guess im gonna end up at LA. </p>
<p>lots of people think im weird though. i keep going around complaining about not being able to go to UCSD when lots of people would kill to have my spot at UCLA. but trust me, i AM grateful.</p>
<p>I got into UCSD and Cal for engineering, but not UCLA.</p>
<p>i thought i was gonna get into ucla. but hey i did set my heart on ucsd before i applied. xD</p>
<p>a LOT of people got into Cal but not UCLA. SO weird.</p>
<p>hmm...this is purely anecdotal but last year i feel like it was the other way around - a lot of people got into ucla but not cal.</p>
<p>uhh i think it's the opposite, a lot got into ucla this year and few got into cal</p>
<p>but cc is nowhere near a representative survey and thus all of us who have heard from different people and read different peoples stats have a way differing opinion of the acceptance rate...truthfully, they are within 1-2% for each other</p>
<p>i was pretty sure i was going to get into ucla and not cal, but it turned out to be the opposite. on the other hand, my friend was so sure she had cal, but got ucla instead. it's weird. </p>
<p>btw, we're both OOS.</p>
<p>^ the same thing happened with my friend, got into ucla when he was expecting cal..but who are we to claim we know such things as the mysterious admisssions process? lol</p>
<p>On my rejection letter from UCLA it said they only accepted 4700 ppl which is only half of the 10,000 people Berkeley said they accepted. So there should be more people that got into Berkeley than UCLA.</p>
<p>(haha how sad, talking about rejection letters xD)</p>
<p>aargh. they did not only accept 4700 people! that is how many people end up matriculating! i remember they did this last year too....for some reason they take that matriculating number and make it appear to be the "accepted students" number, so that everybody thinks that the school is a lot more selective than it really is.</p>
