<p>All I got to say is FUCLA. Congrats to everyone who got in! Whoever said admissions was holistic screw you. Its only holistic after you get a 4.0+ gpa and atleast 2200.</p>
<p>Wow these rejection stories are troublesome...I only applied to colleges in 2006 but I got offered regents at Cal as an engineer with a 2180 SAT and 4.19 GPA...</p>
<p>Kids these days are too competitive =P</p>
<p>And agreed, Kevin and Indian, you should appeal - there's no way you should've been rej'd</p>
<p>I mailed my appeal today (I'd been preparing it for a while XD). If it doesn't go through, oh well. At least I tried. Perhaps I'll transfer in two years.</p>
<p>i and my friends were checking our admissions today at school. all 3 of just got rejected. we didn't feel sad though. i was the first to log on, and then one of my friends, and then i was like "ha! we got the same message." then the other friend logged on and then i was like "yay we all got rejected." other ppl were so curious because we were laughing so hard when we got back to class.</p>
<p>As far as I know, the only kid in my class to get in was the salutatorian, and I'm pretty sure most of the students ranked above 30 applied. Admissions this year were crazy!!</p>
<p>you either get into UCLA or UC Berkley.
you can't get into both.. and usually if you're good enough to get into Berkley, they don't let you into UCLA because "Berkley is a better school" and they wouldn't want you to go to a inferior school, supposibly.</p>
<p>i don't think the ucb/ucla thing is true because i got into ucla and i was invited for regents at ucb, so i'm in there too. but i was worried about this myth</p>
<p>Theirtheyrethere: "The real problem is all the overachievers...there are too many of them. STOP OVERACHIEVING!"</p>
<p>kevin425650: LOL..... (I am not really overachiving though. I always do homework at the last moment, and I always type my paper on the date before the due date, which is not typical asian students should do)</p>
<p>By the way, I think I am going to wait till Apirl 1. If Cal and all other private schools don't like me =( , then I'll go for appealing! ='(</p>
<p>----------------------I am a separating line----------------------------------------------------</p>
<p>Today, my counselor told me maybe it is just abt "major" and "ethnicity." </p>
<p>Micrbi,Im & Mol Gen (Pre) = I believe hella ppl selected this one!!
Asian = Too many Asian ppl in UCLA (I wish i am a Native American >_< )</p>
<p>----------------------I am a separating line----------------------------------------------------</p>
<p>Also for the rumor!</p>
<p>I believe there is a chance for it, but not 100% sure abt it.</p>
<p>^^^
I thought that CA universities could not consider race? Also, I doubt any major has that much competition that someone with your stats could not get in. Perhaps they got the impression you were using the school as a "safety?"</p>
<p>I think you belong to Cal. My Asian boy got rejected by UCLA's bio major, too. He is a smart boy. He never studies over 30 minutes per day. If he ever stays up, it is because of watching DVDs. He will attend UCSD's Bio for sure. He's accepted UCSD's admission. He doesn't want to go to Cal cuz we live in Northern CA.</p>
<p>Rejected as well. Decisions were pretty random considering the situation at my own school. Plenty of qualified students with amazings stats were rejected while a few students with good stats, but nothing too amazing were accepted. I guess we'll never know exactly what they're looking for. Everyone's been a bit down since the 19th and are panicking about CAL.</p>
