<p>yeah im in the same position. i know tons of people who got in with stats WAY below mine but i got rejected! I don't understand the logic....but then again maybe there is none.</p>

3

<p>i heard rumor that if someone got in, for example, Berkeley, then he or she won't get in LA? because they are in same system. Is that true?
Because honestly...my mark is way better than your frd...kevin.</p>

</p>

<p>I wouldn't be surprised if that were true. I've known kids that didn't get into SB or LA, but have gotten into Berkeley.</p>

5

<p>i dont think so because what about people who get into other UCs like davis or san diego...do they automatically get rejected from LA too? I think one could potentially get accepted into all of them.</p>

6

<p>I got rejected by UCLA too, but got into UCSD, and UCD. I've wanted to get into UCLA all my life.</p>

7

<p>your friend got in with a 1600/2400?</p>

8

<p>The rumor is untrue. I know tons of people who have been accepted by both schools. That being said it is possible to get into one and not the other.</p>

<p>I am shocked that you were rejected. Your stats are HYP level (not sure about your ECs though). I'm even more shocked that your friend was accepted.</p>

9

<p>Yes.... 1600/2400</p>

10

<p>My 1st choice is UCLA and right now i feel so bad!!!</p>

<p>well.. I guess Cal is my only choice to go tho.. =]</p>

<p>for EC: I really have lots of good stuff on it...and it is a long list, which i don't really want to type it</p>

11

<p>i am really worried about the rumor cuz i got into UCLA.
honestly, i love UCB much more. </p>

<p>today, my friend talked about the rumor.....
is it really untrue like you said???</p>

12

<p>I am really <em>ed right now..... *</em></p>

13

<p>That rumor isn't true AT ALL.</p>

<p>Every single student I know here at Cal ran the gamut for UC schools. Some (quite a few, actually) UCLA kids don't make Berkeley, though (just cuz admission into UCB is a little tougher).</p>

14

<p>something is weird about LA...
There are some people I know got in some Ivy League schools already in ED but got rejected by LA...
I hope the rumor is untrue...</p>

15

<p>Yep. I'm feeling down.</p>

16

<p>Dang kevin, i can't see how they would reject you.</p>

17

<p>I know >_<".....well, maybe UCLA just don't like me.</p>

18

<p>I've heard from 3rd hand sources that the essay was very important this year for schools like UCLA and UCSD. That is my only answer for the wide range of stats of accepted and nonaccepted kids. There are many that get into UCB, UCLA and UCSD.</p>

19

<p>UCLA hurt alot of people this year. is getting worse and worse every year</p>

20

<p>The real problem is all the overachievers...there are too many of them. STOP OVERACHIEVING! That way, no one will feel as bad when they get rejected! Oh well. I didn't think I would be able to handle the stress of going to UCLA even if I got in, so I guess this makes the decision somewhat easier haha.</p>
