<p>Has this ever happened to anyone?</p>
<p>I was rejected at LA and I'm bitter... (Berkeley was always ahead of UCLA anyway.) But now, should I expect a rejection this coming March 30th? </p>
<p>I thought I had decent chances (low 2100s, 700s on SAT IIs, good gpa [OOS]).
agh!</p>
<p>I know of 3-4 people at my school last year who got rejected from LA and got into Berkeley.</p>
<p>My son was rejected by UCLA and accepted by UC Berkeley and Harvard for the 2009 class! I have often wondered if UCLA actually reads all the applications--I think they received about 45,000 in 2005. I am sure the volume requires them to make quick decisions based on certain criteria.</p>
<p>My S (class of 2008) was rejected from UCLA and UCSD, but accepted to CAL. He has two friends who applied to the same schools. One was accepted only by UCSD only, and the other was accepted only by UCLA.</p>
<p>As for buzzwick's question regarding UCLA reading the apps, my understanding is that all UCs do what is referred to as comprehensive review which includes reading the application.</p>
<p>eddieee, I'm afraid you will just have to wait until March 30th. good luck</p>
<p>what were your sons stats Buzzwick and avoidingwork?</p>
<p>They. Look for. Different. Things.</p>
<p>Some people get into one and not the other. it happens yearly.</p>
<p>I interviewed for Regents at Berkeley last week and they told me I have been admitted, then yesterday I was rejected by UCLA</p>
<p>Although, I already knew I would rather go to Berkeley, so the rejection made me laugh more than anything.</p>
<p>A lot of people get into one but not the other, but you should be aware that OOS admissions is significantly harder. It's not uncommon for Ivy admits to be rejected OOS, especially in competitive majors like engineering.</p>
<p>I applied out-of-state to both. I'd say that yes your scores are within range, but it depends on your extracurriculars and personal statements. It is possible to get into one and not the other, although usually they come hand-in-hand.</p>
<p>I'd say that OOS to Berkeley and UCLA isn't as tough as "higher" Ivies' admissions, but is comparable to lower Ivies' admissions.</p>
<p>S had a 3.9 something weighted GPA and ACT score that translated to 1350. Looking at the admit rates for Fall 2004, he statistically falls into a 7.4% admit rate for GPA and somewhere in the 21.6-26.2% for test scores. Note that the stats don't include spring admits, of which my S was one.</p>
<p>I find it funny how people on the Berkeley board believe that if you dont get into UCLA and you are qualified you will probably get in Berkeley or San Diego while the UCLA board is full of people saying that it isnt the rule. It is obvious from buzzwick and vu<em>preuss</em>06 posts that this occurs quite often. It occured at my school in the bay area last year too. I am also curious if anyone recieved a supplemental app from Berkeley? They sent me one and I am not sure if that was standard this year or not. I just got rejected from UCLA (bioengineering)yesterday but I like Berkeley (bioengineering) more so I really wasnt that sad with the UCLA rejection.</p>
<p>God I hope this is true.....cannot wait until 30th...I don't wanna go to UCI. :(</p>
<p>My son's freind rejected by UCLA last year, but accepted by MIT</p>
<p>Aw, nothing wrong with UCI.</p>
<p>Phew. So there is hope. </p>
<p>Are UC admissions connected? (i.e. UCLA rejects you because Berkeley will accept you) Because that would be quite promising.</p>
<p>No one has ever shown me any reason to believe that, ever. I bet an admission officer from one campus can predict with a very, very high accuracy where you will and will not get in and where you will not, and they see all the averages and statistics after the fact, but they aren't connected.</p>
<p>There's a discussion in the UCLA forum about this... Berkeley and LA are independent of each other!</p>
<p>For those who were rejected at UCLA and got in Berkeley did you guys apply to different majors to both campuses? The difference in the popularity of programs may play a factor.</p>
<p>I applied to chemistry for both schools</p>
<p>that would suck if the guy at berk rejected cuz he thought you would get into LA and vice versa :)</p>
