<p>I’m wondering this too. Gl to you too man :[</p>

3

<p>UCI was my dream school and I really REALLY REALLY do not want to go to UCR.
Good luck! I hope we both get into UCSB to relieve some of this sadness.</p>

4

<p>^Yeah fersure man. Same situation :D</p>

5

<p>im stuck in the same situation - stats are a little different and im OOS… starting to get nervous because ive struck out with all the UCs ive heard from so far… :frowning: im REALLY hoping for UCSB</p>

6

<p>You of course do have a chance :). You don’t neeed UCI, sending out the rejection letters late <.<</p>

7

<p>@Shibykin …your only saying that because u got ACCEPTED!!! So SHUT THE F$CK UP! “We” on the other hand…should not get our hope so much…since they said they have a “record number of applicants”…</p>

8

<p><em>Back on topic</em> UCSB does a sort of hollistic review where 50% goes to SAT/GPA and 50% goes to EC and essay</p>

<p>-a UCSB admission officer came to our school and told us that</p>

9

<p>so i got waitlisted to uci…and got the supplemental questionnaire to ucla but got rejected…rejected to UCSD…what are my chances to UCSB!!

<p>mentirosa didnt u say you got in UCLA Stanford and Caltech <.<</p>

11

<p>Unfortunately, when I checked my ucla again, it said I got rejected!! ■■■! Stanford and Caltech accepted me though.</p>

12

<p>You got into Caltech and Stanford? Really? (Not to sound mean but those stats seem very regular for even UCI)</p>

13

<p>@ahnyoungs2 then again, it’s always surprising which students the UCs pick :stuck_out_tongue: they probably were impressed with his ECs (they are rather good).</p>

<p>@people arguing: cmon guys don’t start a passion war - in the end, we all end up where we were meant to go. whether it’s cc and to a godly school or settling for a school we never thought we’d go but loving it. </p>

<p>Here’s to the rest of us hoping for the best! :)</p>

14

<p>Yeah, I think I will go to Stanford. Palo Alto is soooooo beautiful.</p>

15

<p>well said CruxSC everyone deserves their spot at whatever school they get into… which is why they were accepted in the first place.</p>

<p>anyyyyways. congrats on getting into stanford and caltech - thats awesome :)</p>

<p>does anyone know how things are looking for OOS in general? ive already researched it a lot… but can anyone make an educated guess whether it will be more difficult this year? or what kind of stats you need to have a decent chance?</p>

16

<p>mentirosa - i took classes at stanford this past summer for 2 months and stayed in lagunita (the freshmen dorms) the whole campus is gorgeous! but not too much to do in palo alto :/</p>

17

<p>hmm o.o. Well i was being nice and trying to leave a positive feedback <.<. . Gratz on getting in stanford and caltech :).</p>

<p>OOS should have a easier time compared to years before(Cali needs money), but the admissions for all the UCs are all getting more competitive so :frowning: i guess it depends how u think of it <.<.</p>

18

<p>hahah im not sure if i misread the messages between you two or whatever… but i was under the impression you were being nice also. no worries </p>

<p>cali definitely needs $ but then i realized that since im applying for financial aid… it might cancel out that aspect :confused: idk</p>

<p>any idea what like average stats i would need to have a comfortable chance?</p>

19

<p>u would best want their averages :confused: Though I think the avg person who is admitted and goes in is around 3.7-3.8 last year :/. Lil lower than UCD and UCI, and SAT is around 1860.</p>

<p>it’s not a noticeable diff with UCI and UCD in terms of the stats of the ppl who is admitted and goes in. :confused: though UCSB admittance rate seems to be higher than UCI and UCD for the past years</p>

<p>Why do you even care about the UCs? You got into Stanford and Caltech!!!</p>
