<p>Anyone out there on CC get rejected from UCLA and is now banking on Berkeley? </p>
<p>Are you much more nervous than before? </p>
<p>Have you heard stories of people rejected from UCLA and accepted at Berkeley?</p>
<p>I'm not going to be a Bruin, but all along I really wanted to be a Bear!</p>
<p>It happens all the time. There were plenty of people last year that got into Berkeley but not UCLA.</p>
<p>“Plenty”.</p>

<p>^^^ seconded. I’ve been neurotically reading past threads, and there’s been quite a few that were rejected from LA but accepted to Cal (or vice versa).</p>
<p>There r even ppl rejected from uci, ucsd and got into ucla</p>
<p>It happens. If it makes you feel more confident during the next 5 days to know that then, yeah, it happens quite often every year. I, personally, am not banking on that fact, though. Guilty until proven innocent – it’s the pessimist’s way :)</p>
<p>One person on this board got rejected at Berkeley, but got accepted to Caltech with scholarships!</p>
<p>@hesdjjim, that makes sense if the applicant was strong, because private schools not only get fewer applicants than do UCs, but they have a LOT more money to hand out via scholarships than public UCs do.</p>
<p>I got rejected to Davis but accepted to UCLA. So of course it’s possible.</p>
<p>I’ve heard this happens quite often over the years. I hope it happens to me, if not SD here I come =]</p>
<p>happened to me!</p>
<p>The schools are equally competitive. Plenty of kids get into one but not the other.</p>
<p>Happened to me…there must have been a reason I started this thread! I’m a Golden Bear!!!</p>
<p>Happened to me, and I’m now very happy :)</p>

<p>One of my classmates got accepted to every UC except Davis. Go figure?</p>
<p>^ hahaha every UC??? they paid all those application fees?! no way.</p>
