Questions about UC Rejection

State Forums

<p>I applied to UCLA, Cal, UCSD, and UCI and so far I've been rejected from LA and Irvine(???) and waitlisted for UCSD. The last school I have to hear back from is Cal and I'm really scared I won't have a UC to SIR to. </p>

<p>I knew UCLA was far out of my reach but my stats are pretty decent which is why I don't understand why I was rejected from Irvine...</p>

<p>3.75 unweighted gpa
1910 SAT
I did 2 SAT II tests but I don't remember exact scores (mid 500s, nothing significant because I took them to fulfill requirements for the IAP scholarship, mentioned below)
5 AP classes throughout hs
Scholar Athlete Award for 4 yrs
Varsity Track since freshman yr
4 yrs CCS track athlete
2 yrs track team captain
MVP freshman yr
3 yrs volleyball team
3 yrs CSF
3 yrs NHS
Started my own club at school
3 yrs Treble Choir
2 yrs Alto section leader
8 yrs Tae Kwon Do
7 yrs volunteer for church choir</p>

<p>And I was one of 3 finalist at my school for the Berkeley IAP Scholarship, which is a scholarship award to students who show leadership, have high academics, and commit to community service. </p>

<p>So I have three questions:
1. Do I have any chance to get into UCSD from the waitlist
2. Do I stand a chance to get into Berkeley or are my dreams of going to a UC over?
3. Does anyone know if being award the IAP scholarship means automatic acceptance into Cal?</p>

<p>The Reason you be unaccepted by UCI was pretty low GPA. you know the UC GPA of accepted last year in UCI ?
that’s around 4.03. UCLA is very high…</p>

<p>nevermind</p>

<p>That 4.03 is weighted right? My weighted gpa is about a 4.0-4.02</p>

<p>I don’t know the answer to your three questions, but if those are the only schools you applied to, you didn’t apply to a safety.</p>

<p>Oh I applied to state schools as a safety, but I really don’t want to end up at one. UCI was suppose to be my safety UC buuuut </p>

<p>Your SAT scores were not high enough to get you into the schools. UC’s are not safeties and I don’t understand why students assume that the UC’s are back ups. Cal States are fine. UC’s look at numbers.</p>

<p>What’s your major? My daughter’s friend was accepted to UCI with a 3.4 Bio major</p>
