All 4.0 gpa who got rejected, let’s riot.
It just blows my mind every time I see one of these. How could you get 4.0 at CC and still get rejected?
For a lot of reasons, @JC2017. They’re looking at far more than GPAs or else they’d just ask for your name and GPA.
@briank82 Yeah, I understand I mean there are people out there who would’ve gotten a 4.0 had their personal life not sucked so I get 4.0 is the not the end all be all but still. We’re taught to think that 4.0 IS the end all be all.
I have seen some confusing rejections this year, if you believe what’s posted. 4.0, IGETC done, all req met, some excellent-sounding ECs related to major. Then a 3.4 is admitted to the same major. I’d be annoyed for sure if I were the 4.0.
While both Berkeley and UCLA are holistic, GPA is still a prime attribute. Especially next to a 3.4 in the same major.
Appeal?
^^ i would. It won’t hurt.
I am going to appeal
How well did you do in math class? Did you learn about how if a box can hold 10 marbles and you have 50 marbles, you cannot put all 50 marbles in to that box? You’ll have to choose which you most want to keep. Many super awesome applicants get turned away-there are just not enough slots. Don’t take it personally.
