Most people who tell you that were probably rejected from one and tried to rationalize the situation by saying it was random. False. It would make no sense, really. Besides, I know quite a few people who were accepted to both. :)</p>

<p>according to the universityofcalifornia website...</p>

<p>Each UC campus designs its own method for evaluating the factors considered in comprehensive review. For the most current information on how each campus selects its freshmen, visit the following website:

<p>While adcoms may be aware of which UC campus(es) you apply to, they don't collaborate on which campus(es) you get admitted to.</p>

<p>sorry to disagree with your teacher, but it's just incorrect. (Heck, they don't have time enought to collaborate.)</p>
