<p>Hey everyone,</p>
<p>I got waitlisted to Stanford. Historically, I don’t know whether that means I’ll be accepted in a few weeks or rejected but as of now I am going to UCLA.</p>
<p>We’ll see in a couple weeks. ■■■.</p>
<p>It’s all about that entrepreneurship man… Everyone thinks Stanford produces all the best entrepreneurs… I swear, though, they just accept them and then when they graduate it looks like Stanford made them! haha</p>
<p>Go for graduate school!! :)</p>
<p>@thelongshot: Good Luck brah</p>
<p>Thanks. </p>
<p>Regardless I think I want to go to UCLA and stay in So Cal with my family, friends and nonprofit. But should I be accepted off the waitlist I have no idea what I’d do.</p>
<p>Your ecs are a match. It’s no gimme, but getting waitlisted has gotta mean something when your profile is so dead on.</p>
<p>Thank you. I guess we’ll see. </p>
<p>But 20 out of 1400 is just beyond brutal. Even Yale and Harvard, who just recently began accepting transfer students, have a higher transfer acceptance rate.</p>
<p>Come to Berkeley bro. My first choice was UCLA purely for the location and then I got rejected. Now, I don’t even know why I was thinking about going to UCLA. Berk is the better school. Isn’t that what we are talking about?</p>
<p>People say you should choose the school that best matches your personality. I applied to four UCs and I loved them all.</p>
<p>Dude I’ve loved Berkeley for a long time, it’s just that I don’t really like Downtown Berkeley. But I still haven’t decided yet, I figure I have another week or two to really make a decision. Did you apply this year or last year?</p>
<p>Yeah I’ve been on cc for a while. I just got in this month.</p>
<p>Congrats man, what’s your major?</p>
<p>Poli Sci. I love Social Sciences. I used to be an Econ major but hated Calculus II so I switched to Poli Sci.</p>
<p>Post stats cooldude! How did you do it?</p>
<p>Overall GPA: 3.62</p>
<p>I started JC and got a couple Cs and a bunch of Ws and dropped out. Spent a bunch of time wasting away and then came back.</p>
<p>Since coming back to school GPA: 3.93</p>
<p>The only grade, other than an A, was in Calculus I in which I got a B. So I was taking Calculus II, this Spring, about to finish up my prereqs for Economics and Calculus II was tough! I dropped that sucker and faxed Cal immediately saying I was dropping it to focus on my remaining coursework and that I would be choosing an alternate related major. The rest is history.</p>
<p>Living near telegraph is gonna rock. I’ll be able to get my hands on tons of reggae music and stuff.</p>
<p>Ah inspiring story cooldude, however, I did not read this thread and thought you got into Stanford lol. Cal is still good though.</p>
<p>@SF Warrior, Your stats are off the charts in terms of sat and ec’s. You didn’t list your high school GPA though. Maybe that was the deciding factor? </p>
<p>How did you even get to do research at Stanford when you don’t go to their school?</p>
<p>Just SIRed to Stanford’s Waitlist but still operating under the assumption that I’m going to UCLA… more waiting.</p>
<p>It never occured to me till your post, but I think my highschool grades are what got me rejected. I had a 2.9 something in highschool. Funny how these things come back to bite you in the ass.</p>
<p>@longshot congratulations on the waitlist. I wish I had the same luck. I guess I wasn’t entrepreneurial enough for good old Leland Stanford Junior Univ. Should have applied to MIT as well…</p>
<p>It wasn’t your high school grades man, but your stats are incredible. MIT/Cal Tech would have been more up your alley because they’re so statistically focused.</p>
<p>Dang SFwarrior25, I really look up to you now. Nice stats, dude. I’m amazed as well. </p>
<p>One thing, did you retake your SATs again? Because I want to, too, but my friends told me it’s useless. Can you give me perspectives on it if you did. </p>
