<p>If u applied to UCLA or UCB, that’s why you didn’t get in. Check this out. This is nothing less than fraud on the part of UCSC! [Ms</a>. Sun’s UC Admissions Blog - UC Santa Cruz Update](<a href=“Error”>Error). you might have to scroll up.
My son also got rejected from UCSC with 3.8, ACT 30, SAT 1980 and all the other bells and whistles.</p>
<p>This is why they didn’t get in!!

<p>I think it’s kind of amusing that some people who said they didn’t want to go to UCSC anyway and are angry they weren’t admitted to a college they think is inferior and were using as a safety are now talking about lawsuits.</p>
<p>My son was initially accepted for Fall 2011-12 as a freshman. However, his acceptance was rescinded when he discovered that a science class that he took at the community college in the Spring semester of his senior year wasn’t going to fulfill his A-G requirements (he received bad advice from his counselor). Trying to be proactive, he contacted UCSC immediately and tried to work out a solution so that he could attend in the fall (like taking a class in the summer)…Unfortunately, UCSC wouldn’t go for it. He tried to appeal with no luck…he even met with the Admissions Dean - he just said “too bad…we hope to see you here at UCSC as a transfer student”. My son thought he had a good chance at the appeal since he had been in a special program his last 2 years of high school, allowing him to attend college concurrently while taking his high school classes - he had a 4.2 GPA. Lesson learned - make sure to double check the advice from the counselors! </p>
<p>Since my son had been attending community college while in high school, he had accumulated about 45 college credits. So, this year, he’s been doing “Plan B” - attending community college and finishing all of his transfer requirements. It felt like ‘deja vu’ in November going through the college application process! </p>
<p>He just found out a few days ago that he’s been accepted (again) at UCSC - this time as a transfer student. YAY! We are happy that he will finally be able to attend his ‘dream’ school - UCSC.</p>
<p>He’s a Film/Digital Media major</p>
