<p>Oh for those reading my stats, I didn't have any recommendations. I didn't get selected for augmented review; it was just a copy/paste from my Yale Early Action and I forgot to change some parts FYI.</p>
<p>Good-luck everyone.</p>
<p>dysonfree. wow. i just found out a couple minutes ago that i got rejected from one of my top choices. </p>
<p>but hey you got in right? good job. thanks for being so wonderfully considerate.</p>

<p>hey dysonfree i understand that i have been rejected already. would you mind explaining how the point system works?
i did finish all a-g courses required, and i have no clue as to how the UCSD would partition points for Talent, leadership, or even what Ed. envir (Educational environment?) or ELC stand for.</p>
<p>and i don't understand why you have such a big problem with me. I reported my rejection and scores because i was under the impression that it would help people see what UCSD was looking for in the students it accepted this year.</p>
<p>and thanks a lot dmission.</p>
<p>dmission:
UCSD admission is set up such that if someone
get a ~4.10 gpa and almost perfect SAT scores will get in regardless, may be a winter admit.
There is something call a-g classes beyond minimum that is worth 500 that will push the total above 7500 or there about.</p>
<p>These discussions are helpful to future applicants and make people understand why they suceed or fail in gaining admission.<br>
With those GPA and SAT, most people will get regents and honors college offers from UCR, UCI etc.</p>
<p>You are right, I should not have responded and let that die in the first place.</p>

<p>alright that makes sense. my school is pretty competitive and i'm only in the second decile for rankings. </p>
<p>anyways thanks very much for the link hydralisks. </p>
<p>and dysonfree thanks for the info too. no hard feelings. </p>
<p>good luck you guys with all your other colleges.</p>

<p>My stats score and GPA wise aren't spectacular. Above average, but no where near the likes of 2100+ and 4.0+. </p>
<p>I pretty much think my essays and ECs helped me. I had a lot of leadership positions and dedicated plenty of hours. I also think my school's reputation was a big plus.</p>
