<p>My friend got rejected to ucr but accepted to berkeley</p>
<p>i am not lying</p>
<p>UCR probably rejected your friend because they knew he would get into berkely and wanted to give his space to a student on the borderline of attending a UC.</p>
<p>how about i got rejected by ucla but accepted by ucb?
that's so bad man...</p>
<p>I love this kind of "proof".</p>
<p>Let's hope you aren't planning on going to law school, or physics, or chemistry or...hmmm. Maybe you would be a great fictional lit. major. ;)</p>
<p>lol yea, i got rejected from davis but accepted to ucla...</p>
<p>I got rejected from UCD but got into UCB and UCSD. I would rather agree with the borderline theory.</p>
<p>exillo, we have some data that suggests a theory, and we constructed our theory "UCR probably rejected your friend because they knew he would get into berkely and wanted to give his space to a student on the borderline of attending a UC."</p>
<p>nothing fictional about that.</p>
<p>Whatever, this whole argument is tired......shut up everyone and pack. ;-)</p>
<p>Rejected from UCSB in at UCLA it does seem to point to a rendom process and michelle is right we better start packing.</p>
<p>Wait, do different UCs know other UCs' decisions before the public does and base their decision on that?</p>

<p>highly probable.</p>
<p>"completely" is not the right word IMO. "Some what or kid of" is more appropriate imo.</p>
<p>I've questioned if the so-called "Tufts syndrome" exists to some extent at the UC's.</p>
<p>"Tufts syndrome": care to enlighten me on what is it?</p>
<p>Tufts syndrome basically is that if you're extremely over qualified for a school, you may be rejected because the school assumes you won't choose them even if they admit you.</p>

<p>It's actually very common these days...</p>
<p>Why is everyone always comparing schools and their admissions? You know a lot of admissions selectivity is due to your specific major either as a freshman or transfer. I was looking at the Fall 2004 UCLA transfer admissions and the gpa admitted varied from 3.1 to 3.92. Some majors have way too many applicants and some too little. If you apply with a major that consists of 30% of the applicants, chances are admission will be very selective and you will need a very high gpa. If you apply with a major that has a very low percentage and you have a low gpa you might just get admitted. Sometimes you just got to fill some open slots. I think the universities(UC) are more inclined to take the money and fill open slots rather than taking a more qualified student for which they have no room for. As of right now I am a junior at UCLA, and yes I know I got accepted to UCLA and rejected by UCSD(I thought UCSD would be a given after being accepted to UCLA) but life goes on.</p>
<p>yes, it's true...everyone gets taken care of. they are going to find everyone a place so they can make money. =p</p>
<p>Trixta.....the heck is your point? Very lucid.</p>
<p>friends of mine</p>
<p>friend 1: rejected from all UC / got in to Berkeley (4.025 gpa , 1000~ sat)
friend 2: rejected from UCI / got in to SD (3.8 GPA, 900~ sat, 390 writing)
and she thinks she went to UCSD by her abilities -_-;;
friend 3: rejected from UCI / got in to SD (4.0 gpa, high 1100 sat)
friend 4: Rejected from UCB/UCLA/UCI/UCSD - going to sb (4.35 gpa, 1260 sat, 800 korean, 760 physics, 800 2c, 550 writing)</p>
<p>screw UC</p>
