<p>I turned down for UCSB: UC San Diego, UC Davis, University of Michigan, George Washington (w/ two years tuiton), University of Washington, University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, Purdue, University of Wisconsin-Madison.</p>

<p>I got rejected by: UCLA (sucks being an out-of-state applicant)</p>

<p>Went to visit the midwest... realized I'm a west coast guy who likes the suburban feel =)</p>

<p>hurrrhurhur international student. :x i think the fee out-of-stater's have to pay is ridiculous... oh well, i'm sure it's worth it yes? :)</p>

<p>i turned down university of durham (uk) and university of london (uk). i originally thought i'd be going to UK, but when i thought about it i decided i'd like US better. :) </p>

<p>and woah, you guys all sound really smart :x man.</p>

<p>wow so many good schools that you guys turned down for UCSB. I only turned down UCM for UCSB :)
rejected by: UCB, UCSD,UCLA,UCD,UCI
UCSB did the best thing by accepting me :) especially I got into college of Engineering</p>

9

<p>Turned down UCB, UCLA, UCSD, Occidental, Long Beach presidential scholarship</p>

10

<p>turning down UCD, UCSC, UCR, CSUF</p>

11

<p>NO to UCLA, USC, Pepperdine, UCI, Stanford, Notre Dame, UCB, Redlands</p>

<p>YES to UCSB :-)</p>

<p>Waitlisted: Columbia :-(
Rejected: none thank god</p>

12

<p>hey, gaucho, did you get regents?</p>

13

<p>Discordial: Hey NO I didn't! :-( I know, my parents were dissapointed too when they found out. Oh well. UCSB is still WAY less expensive than the other schools so it all works out.</p>

14

<p>that's really strange. i think regents is sort of random, though; i know someone who got into dartmouth but didn't get it at uci, and another person who got regents at ucsd but not uci. :-/</p>

15

<p>YEAH I know exactly what you mean about the randomness...My friend was accepted by Princeton and rejected by UCDavis!</p>

16

<p>i picked UCSB over UCLA(which took a looooong time to decide), CPSLO, SDSU, and SJSU. </p>

<p>as impressive as the ucla campus was, i went for ucsb for the beach and the party scene...i'll just do grad school at ucla, right?</p>

17

<p>GAUCHO6: YOU TURNED DOWN <em>STANFORD</em> FOR UCSB? OKAY, LIKE, UCB I CAN DEFINITELY STOMACH, BUT <em>STANFORD</em>. oh, my /heart/. <em>is completely in awe</em></p>

<p>but hay, cool! looks like the incoming UCSB has some really brainy people, judging from this thread. :)</p>

18

<p>When Stanford gives you very little financial aid and you really don't want to be living going head to head with your peers for the top grades, Stanford doesn't seem like much...I guess it isn't for everyone.
Besides, how can I pass up UCSB?</p>

19

<p>Hey, I turned downed Stanford too... I thought i was the only one.</p>

<p>Accepted: Stanford, UCB Regents, USC, UCLA, UCSD, and UCI
Rejected: Harvard and Caltech</p>

<p>For me it was the location, and a place where i could get good grades for med school-- while keeping a decent life.</p>

20

<p>geniuses!! :) hah. it's true that UCSB will be easier going for people who want to go to med school, but it'll probably be much harder to get into a good one...?
all the CollegeConfidential people should meet up sometime before/during school. :D</p>
