Is is possible to get into ALL the UC's?

Applying to College

<p>I remember hearing a story on the news around February about a girl from my area who got into ALL the UC's.
There was a huge upset about it, and a guy on the news said something like "one being can not gain access to both UC-Berkeley as well as UCLA. That is just not humane."</p>

<p>Is there some thing that makes it so that you can't get into all of 'em?</p>

<p>No. More likely than not, if you're in at Berkeley and LA, you'll pretty much get into all of the UC's. It just costs a lot to apply to ALL of the UC's.</p>

3

<p>lol..
yes it's possible. :D
Impossible is Nothing.</p>

4

<p>I know a girl who got into UC-Berkeley, UCLA, UCSD, UC-Irvine, UCSB, UCSC, and UC-Davis.</p>

5

<p>I think it's possible. I got into the three I applied to last year (SD, LA, Cal). But why would you want to apply to ALL of them? That's a waste of application fees.</p>

6

<p>It's possible. Many of my friends got into the tops/almost all.</p>

7

<p>I applied to the top 4 UCs and got into all 4. I can't imagine getting rejected from the other 5. I qualified for ELC, so technically I should be accepted to the lower 5 as well.</p>

8

<p>Yes it's very possible, I got into Berkeley, LA, SD, Davis, Irvine and Santa Barbara and I definitely can't imagine being rejected from SC, Riverside or Merced.</p>

<p>Yeah, it's possible. Just saw this post:</p>

<p>BTW, slight digression: If an applicant applies to all or many of the UCs, will their chances be hurt? Do the adcoms see what other UCs the applicant is applying to?</p>

10

<p>nope. unless you tell of course.</p>

11

<p>The question is not is it possible to get into all the UCs, the question is why would you want to?</p>

12

<p>i personally don't want to.</p>

<p>i can't imagine being in a class with 499 other people</p>

<p>Well, technically it's not possible when applying for undergrad because of UC San Francisco. It's a UC but it's a grad school and professional school campus only. No undergrad programs. So right off the bat there is one UC you won't be getting into.</p>

<p>^Also Hastings College of the Law, in San Francisco, is a UC.</p>

<p>Son was accepted to Berkeley, UCLA, UCSB, UCD, and UC Santa Cruz. I imagine if he applied to the others he would have been accepted there as well.</p>
