<p>does this mean that if you got rejected from san diego you are going to be rejected from davis?? I got waitlisted for san diego so do you guys think i have a chance for davis? and also what is the cutoff point for both of these schools?</p>
<p>bump guys please</p>
<p>No. They are two different schools with two different point systems (points are distributed differently). Also, Davis will likely have a lower cut off in comparison to UCSD because it is slightly less selective.</p>
<p>thank you. any other thoughts?</p>
<p>You have a chance for Davis. It’s less selective.</p>
<p>Davis is probably easier to get into than UCSD. I don’t think its because UCSD is more selective, as KingsElite says. I think UCD admits more because they have more of a potential to, its much bigger. And… not getting into san diego doesnt mean youre getting into davis either, I know tons of people who got into SD but not Davis.</p>
<p>^It has maybe 2,000 more students. Is that much bigger?</p>
<p>I was thinking more about the schools actual size and facilities… but um… I’d like to think 2000 students is a pretty big amount. It seems like Davis would be easier cause they get less applicants, and can admit more.</p>
<p>any estimate on how many points you need. i just did my score and my very very conservative total is 8100 but if i were to be really estimating i would have about 8300. how good are my chances?</p>
<p>You should be fine, but the admissions this year have been somewhat different.</p>
<p>in what ways are they different? </p>
<p>do i really have a great chance as many people are telling me? i am so nervous for next year because of my mediocore gpa. </p>
<p>my stats are the following and after doing both schools total point i am getting 8000+</p>

<p>Essays: (i kind of integrated the 4 topics below into my two essays)
- when i was a freshman my parents got in an accident and i had to start taking care of my whole family. what i mean is that my chores got tripled, i needed to help my parents move through the house, and i had to walk my bro to school before i went. My school and his school are in 2 opposte directions.
- i also wrote about how the envioronment i grew up in has shaped me to be a strong perservering leader and how people see me as a leader not because of my large frame ( i am 6’4) but because of the attidude i have when i am in the room.
- how my parents accident coupled with my volunteering at the hospital has changed my outlook on life and how i found my true calling which is medicine because God has blessed me with intelligence and lots of empathy towards the needy and weak.
- i also included in my essay a great quote from one of a famous surgeon (i am drawing a blank on his name right now) but it said " i was never the smartest in med school, but what i lacked in ability i made up with through discipline." i think this quote really applies to me and i explained why. </p>
