<p>yummymango I feel you. So many people at my school had much lower stats than me and got in. The admissions officers really liked the asians and the rich people at my school this year.</p>
<p>^The thing is I’m Asian, and I would be able be able to pay back the loans more quickly and easily than the many of the admitted ones.</p>
<p>I got in to Georgetown but not UCLA? ■■■.</p>
<p>My S says that at his HS, everyone among the top students was rejected, save for one acceptance with a 4.0 UW, but <2000 SAT’s. </p>
<p>My rejected S has a 4.1 UC wGPA, and 2270 SAT’s. Of course, UCLA didn’t ask for the senior year grades, which were all A’s, and had brought his GPA up. </p>
<p>With other schools, you get the idea that the accepted students had something special with their applications that the Adcoms like. With UCLA, you get the idea that the accepted students fit some rigid template that had been set up for the the Adcoms’ convienence.</p>
<p>I got rejected</p>
<p>bhut whatever</p>
<p>I’m over it actually</p>
<p>there’s always grad for UCLA</p>
<p>and I’m gonna go to UCI most likely</p>
<p>and I love UCI, I actusally will favor it in some of their programs, and I’ll have much freedom to do what I want there.</p>
<p>uh huh, i’m asian and i definitely got rejected
seriously i expected a rejection but now that i really know i’m rejected i’m gonna cry:(</p>
<p>Joining y’all in the Reject List! </p>
<p>I got into USC…but I figured getting into UCLA was harder since I’m out of state. Looking at some of the credentials that were listed here, I now know why I got rejected! But I feel many of you seem to have fit what UCLA was looking for. It wasn’t my top pick, so I’m not too upset about it since if i were to go to the West Coast, I’d pick USC. </p>
<p>Anyways, I’m sorry for everybody who got rejected! Hopefully you all get into another top pick and end up being 10x happier there.</p>
<p>JW- a lot of top students at my school were rejected as well. It was pretty surprising for most.</p>
<p>If anyone wants to wax philosophical, the definitive standard for dealing with a setback like this is Satan’s soliloquy after begin flung from Heaven into Hell in [Paradise</a> Lost](<a href=“http://classiclit.about.com/library/bl-etexts/jmilton/bl-jmilton_plost_1.htm]Paradise”>Classic Literature).</p>
<p>Just substitute UCLA for Heaven, mid-tier UC’s for Hell, and UCLA Adcoms for the Almighty.</p>
<p>

<p>The girl I constantly helped in AP Calc BC and AP Physics B got into UCLA, but not I.
I’m waiting on schools, but UCSD, UCSB, or UCI are my options right now.</p>
<p>We thinks it’s strange that my S was denied. He was also denied at MIT, and waitlisted at WUSTL.</p>
<p>Accepted:
UOP (Honors program)
U of Rochester (Nice package)
UC Irvine
UC Santa Cruz
Gonzaga (Nice scholarship offer too)</p>
<p>Still need to hear from his #1 school, which I won’t mention so I don’t hex it. (U of R is #2 so we don’t feel too bad)</p>
<p>It just seems strange with the acceptances at UofR and in to the Honor program at UOP that he got a ‘denied’ from UCLA.</p>
<p>I figure they must know that my family has a history with USC…</p>
<p>agreed with everyone about the lower stats.
kind of depressing.
but whatevs!</p>
<p>going to USC probably!
gotta wait for Cal</p>
<p>hophead – congrats.</p>
<p>re: UCLA denial and UOP Honors acceptance … my guess would be UOP honors might be easier to get into than UCLA regular… UCLA 21% or so acceptance, UOP over 50%. UCLA 1295 midpoint SATs with UOP 1165 midpoint (2006 fall admits).</p>
<p>I think the national rankings in this regard are fairly accurate to one’s chances of admittance.</p>
<p>Agh, rejection. I should have applied in a less popular major. Stupid system. I’m sure I’ll be happy at UCSC or UCI next year.</p>
<p>ninjashayna:</p>
<p>case of the student outachieving the master?</p>
<p>Basically, all of the students (international) from my school that I know who applied got rejected except for one, but she’s got a green card in California.</p>
<p>ninjashayna:</p>
<p>No good deed goes unpunished. jk. Maybe she applied to Engineering, which often gives preference to female applicants.</p>
<p>ill join in the rejection party!</p>
<p>can u call and ask why you were rejected?</p>
<p>Hey guys maybe a glimpse of hope? Well at my school for some time there has been a trend between people getting rejected to UCLA accepted to UCB, or rejected to UCB accepted to UCLA. This is just a very common trend at my school. Hopefully it will work for you too. What i’m trying to say is don’t give up hope, and even if you do, just think it was the budget crisis since they really kicked ass this year in denying students due to crises.</p>
