<p>Just wondering if this is an anomaly.
2090 SAT
4.0 weighted gpa (two years at an easy school, two years at a above average school).</p>
<p>rejected from both LA and SD</p>
<p>PS. Major is Natural Resources</p>
<p>With only SAT and GPA, we can't figure out much.</p>
<p>What about EC's, leadership, and that sort of thing? That holds tremendous bearing on an applicant.</p>
<p>no clubs, no leadership
Varsity swimming for four years.</p>
<p>I know this guy, and hes cool, friendly to talk to, really social, but lazy. I was just surprised that Cal accepted him. </p>
<p>After surfing on these forums, it seemed to me that Cal accepts only the "oustanding".</p>
<p>Yes me too. Got into Berkeley and not UCSD and UCLA.</p>
<p>All schools have anomalies in their admission pool. I know a kid who was accepted by MIT yet rejected by Cal. Sure it isn't typical, but strange things do happen.</p>
<p>Coincidentally, I am also rejected at LA, yet accepted at CAL. 'nother thing, my SAT is also 2090... Seems to me like its a CAL magic number</p>
<p>i was also rejected at ucsd and ucla but accepted at berkeley</p>
