<p>I just got my rejection from UCLA.
GPA: 4.08 (Weighted)
SAT: 1520</p>
<p>My friend got accepted there with similar stats as me but she's a great athlete. I actually received the disability supplemental questionnaire from UCLA but no luck there. </p>
<p>I have a low GPA because i was forced to drop my AP Classes and my math class in my junior year cause i missed 2 months of school due to my stay in the hospital. But my second semester, i made up for it by getting straight A's. That was the only semester of my high school career that i received such low grades. I hear Berkeley likes people who overcome adversity and I think I am one of those people who really overcame adversity. My school also has only 7 available AP courses to take and not to say anything harsh, but it's really ghetto. </p>
<p>I also received the disability questionnaire from Berkeley and i was wondering for those out there who received the disability questionnaire before got into Berkeley with low stats like me that had adversity.</p>
<p>I don’t think you should worry too much. By the looks of things, you were able to get back into the game pretty nicely. If you filled out that disability supplemental questionnaire carefully, you should have good chances of getting accepted.</p>
<p>UCLA’s decisions in no way influences the decisions of UC Berkeley. Just because you didn’t get into one school doesn’t mean you don’t have the chance to get into the other one. There’s only about 10 days left so keep your hopes up and just hope for the best. Good luck!</p>
<p>if you don’t mind me asking, what disability did you apply for? i was almost going to apply as well, but i didn’t know if i’d just be complaining or if my disability was legit.</p>
<p>My disability is that I have collapsed lungs, and I’m considered disabled by the social security administration. I wrote about my experience in the hospital and how I overcame the adversity.</p>
<p>Look at past years of this board, around decision time, to get an idea of how many with supplements were accepted. It will take some work digging through all the ‘I got in’ and ‘rejected’ messages but it is where you will get the best sense of the odds specifically for disability supplemental requests. Overall it is around half that are accepted, particularly the plain borderline ones, but talent seemed to run quite a bit higher. I didn’t pay enough attention to tell you what the disability ratio looked like, but perhaps someone else reading this had watched in past years and can give a feel for the correlation.</p>
<p>absolutely, we know a couple of kids were rejected by UCLA and got accepted by UCB last year. if one is not good enough for UCLA it does not necessary mean he/she is not good for UCB.</p>
<p>I got one but I left it blank because I have no physical or mental disabilities that would prevent me from excelling at school. I did submit my first semester senior grades and a teacher recommendation though… I really have no clue why Berkeley sent me one</p>
<p>Wow I know exactly how you feel in regards to the collapsed lung thing. I just had a collapsed lung in December and it ended up with me having two surgeries. I was out for 6 weeks but luckily a lot of time I missed was Christmas break. Good luck to you. I applied before this issue so luckily I didn’t have to deal with the disability stuff.</p>
<p>I figured dealing with the disability actually gives you the upper hand to admissions because Berkeley tends to like people who face adversity and it defines who you are by the way you overcome it.</p>
