<p>I see many pp getting rejected with CC 4.0 gpa..well mostly international students for business and econ major..by UCB and UCLA...</p>
<p>anyone else??</p>
<p>People with 4.0 GPA’s kind of disgust me. Maybe some colleges feel the same way?</p>
<p>I used to have a 4.0 until Calculus x_x
Here’s what I think. If you have a 4.0 and got rejected, chances are:</p>
<ol>
<li>Your courseload isn’t too competitive, or, more likely:</li>
<li>Your essays were cocky.</li>
</ol>
<p>There’s my two cents. :)</p>
<ol>
<li>You are an international student.</li>
<li>You applied to UCLA as a Communications major.</li>
</ol>
<ol>
<li>You applied Haas School of Business.</li>
<li>You have no extracurricular activity or job.</li>
<li>Mistake. </li>
<li>Destiny.</li>
</ol>
<p>I read an essay by some guy who got rejected here from UCLA or UC Berkeley with a 4.0.</p>
<p>When I read it, it didn’t feel like a person was talking to me.</p>
<p>What did he say in his essay to make you think that?</p>
<p>Universities want humans.</p>
<p>
I disagree.</p>
<p>Universities want money. Yeah – that’s about right. =]</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I disagree.</p>
<p>Sepho, my friend got in as communications major and he has 3.8! :)</p>
<p>I wouldn’t be suprised if out of state transfers or international applicants trying to apply for Haas or UCLA business economics were denied with a 4.0.</p>
<p>GPAs are meaningless without knowing the course load and what type of classes one has taken/major. Say if you are a business econ major… UCLA only requires the first two calculus courses which are very easy and many people actually finish in highschool. The other requirements are a joke. So if one took GE electives and classes that were non series math or science courses a 4.0 is easy since all other courses are jokes.</p>
<p>I think people with 4.0’s that get rejected either have really bad essays or are missing pre-reqs. Or they’re out of state and applying to impacted majors.</p>

<li>u have 4.0 gpa---- no life!</li>
