<p>Hi I was just wondering if anyone finds it really odd that I was rejected at UCLA for Civil Engineering but accepted to UC Berkeley for Civil Engineering, considering the gap between the two programs is so significant.</p>
<p>Congratulations on your acceptance. Don’t think too much about it.</p>
<p>I was denied from both UCLA and UCSD but accepted to Berkeley. The same thing happened to a friend of mine who has a perfect 4.0 unweighted GPA and practically perfect SAT score.</p>
<p>Call me crazy, but I believe that there’s more to this pattern than pure chance.</p>
<p>It sounds like UCLA got more application on that major than UC Bekeley did.</p>
<p>other than that it was them just counting figures.</p>
<p>also congrats on the acceptens letter.
what was your profile that got you accepted, because man those are some tough colleges to get into.</p>
<p>Happens every year. Heck, I’ve seen kids accepted at Stanford but rejected by Berkeley.</p>
<p>It’s true. </p>
<p>just deppends on when, where, and hue looks at the admission.</p>

<p>This is sort of rare, but it happened to my friend too.</p>
<p>I’m not surprised at all. I got into UCLA but deferred from Berkeley, and I have friends who were rejected from one and got into the other. I haven’t heard of anyone yet getting into both…I guess it’s luck of the draw?</p>
<p>D was rejected by UCLA and accepted by Cal and Stanford. Who knows…</p>
<p>my friend got into cal and ucla but not sd. you never know</p>
<p>Into all 3 :)</p>
<p>Go to hopkins</p>
<p>I thought about going to Hopkins but I think that the civil engineering program at Cal is more renown.
Without Cal, it would have been such a tough decision between Hopkins and Michigan.</p>
<p>so if a person got into UCLA but not UCB or the other way around, would that student be more or less considered average at the school? Or was the student lucky enough to get into at least one of them?</p>
