Rejected from UCSC but accepted into UCI?

<p>I thought this was really weird. Today my friend told me that he got accepted into UC Irvine but rejected from UC Santa Cruz. I thought SC was an easier school to get into? Did this happen to anyone else?</p>

<p>it depends. what was his/her major and what were their stats??</p>

<p>He meant USC, not UCSC.</p>
