<p>Essays:
I thought they were really unique (UCSD thought otherwise...). I talked about bandaids and how that related to medical field aspiration, helping out with be the match, etc and being a coxswain (finding my voice).</p>
<p>Im really depressed right now at this point. If i didnt get into ucsd I'm loosing hope for la, usb, usc, stanford, etc....</p>
<p>UCLA has been my dream since I visited in third grade and right now that dream seems to be slipping out of my reach... Can anyone advise to what they think will happen with these schools? ( i was accepted to cal poly slo, uop with regents, ucdavis, irvine,riverside) Also why I was rejected at ucsd?</p>
<p>did you receive the supplement from ucla?</p>
<p>no i didn’t get supplements from any of the schools</p>
<p>Not to be a downer, but your chances don’t look all that great. I’m saying this because you seem like the quintessential borderline applicant yet haven’t received a supplement. Only my opinion, and I could very well be wrong, but I think you need to steel yourself for the worst case scenario.</p>
<p>if you were top in your high school and you live near UCLA, you have a shot. It isnt surprising that UC Berkeley accepts all of the students who go to high schools in Norcal or Berkeley, but everyone who applies to UCLA that are from Berkeley are highly rejected into admissions. Data gathered from UCLA acceptance rates from an average of 20 high schools in Berkeley shows that almost everyone in the top 10% gets into UCB, but less than 1% gets into UCLA.</p>
<p>@kaizera where did you see that info? There are only two high schools in Berkeley (Berkeley High and St. Mary’s), I go to Berkeley high.</p>
<p>Im half hispanic and i don’t know if this was a factor or not, but I was offered a spot on the ucsd crew team back in the fall as their coxswain but i chose not to take it as I didn’t want to commit to something that I didn’t enjoy all that much. And a sport in college is a big commitment, etc… Maybe they rejected me because i said no to them? All these things keep running through my head- maybe it was sat score, maybe i should’ve taken more ap’s, maybe my essays sucked, should’ve done more extracurriculars. One will never know. Hopefully la or ucb will turn it around.</p>
<p>ohmygosh, @hopelessstandford, i feel you right now.
I have very very similar stats as you and got rejected from UCSD.</p>
<p>But I know someone who got rejected from UCDavis but was accepted to both UCBerkeley AND UCLA (last year)
But she ended up going to Cornell. hahah she was a smart one!</p>
<p>Yeah, we ARE borderline people but then again, there are some people who has very slow stats who got into UCSD and some people who have high stats who got rejected from UCSD.
I personally think that all UC schools are 50/50 no matter how smart/stupid you are.</p>
<p>It frustrates me :(</p>
<p>you guys are good. don’t even trip. i should be the one worrying since i got an 1860, 4.0 uw, 4.62 w, and got a supplement. i don’t view you guys as borderline, i don’t see how my sat can apparently make me borderline, but i guess it is what it is. so don’t stress, about a week left (:</p>
<p>Hopelessstanford, you got rejected from UCSD undeclared with those stats?! I guess it was just bad luck, because my friend with slightly lower stats than you got accepted today just fine to Marshall College (2nd choice). Stay optimistic! Don’t worry too much about UCLA!</p>
<p>What is the supplement thing that people have received?</p>
<p>it’s a form that ucla sends to “borderline” students. it contains two essay prompts and asks for your senior fall semester grades. it’s a good sign to get one because you know you still have a chance to get in. i called ucla’s office of admission and they said that supplements are sometimes sent out because the grader wants to know more about you.</p>
<p>Actually it’s not just borderline. There are 3 types of supplements, borderline, special talent and disability. All three have different questions. Basically the university saw something on the application they need more information on before they can make their final determination. It gives students one more chance to make their case why they would be a good fit at that particular school.</p>
<p>@tspoonmom, i don’t think that the set of questions are different, but what you said about the different categories is absolutely true. the questions on the actual supplement are so vague that all three of the categories can be adressed.</p>
<p>I think at least the first question in the supplemental was very specific to the applicant.
I don’t think someone without a special talent would be able to answer the question below. As well others have posted they were specifically ask about the details of their disability, something the university would definitely not sent to an applicant without a disability. </p>
<p>“In your application you may have mentioned an extraordinary talent/skill or academic achievement. This may include participation in Junior Olympics, national debate competitions, recognition for musical talent, etc. Please take this opportunity to share with us more detailed information about the level of your achievement, depth of participation, and passion for this particular area.”</p>
<p>Yes, the second questions was very generic and then everyone was asked for Senior year, fall semester grades.</p>
<p>@tspoonmom, that makes a lot of sense. i recieved that prompt. you’re not required to answer both prompts, so that makes me think that you only have to answer the one that applies to you.
but this is the first time i’m hearing about applicants being asked about disabilities, so you’re probably right.
i asked admissions and they said that you can bring up new details that weren’t mentioned in the app, so the subject of the ucla supplement is quite weird.</p>
<p>@jonvstheworld, yes it was a great oppotunity to add things that either didn’t flow with your essays or there was no other place to put them in the application. I guess in about a week we’ll get to see if those supplements make any difference or not. Good luck!</p>
<p>@tspoonmom, yeah, Thanks, hopefully everything works out</p>
<p>Not a good sign for sure, but you still might get in.</p>
<p>UCLA might see something they like in your application that UCSD might not even have cared about.</p>
<p>Perhaps this will give you some hope.</p>
<p>Last year, I knew a kid who got into Cornell, but got rejected at Syracuse.</p>
<p>To a certain extent, it is a crapshoot.</p>
