<p>So, after having gotten rejected to UCLA and UCSD, all I have left is to wait for UCD, UCB, and UCI..</p>
<p>I am wondering if anyone knows the stats of people that get accepted through the talent supplement (disregarding disability and unprivileged supplements)?</p>
<p>I've heard that UCB looks more "holistic" than the other UCs which is probably why I got the talent supplement..</p>
<p>Edit: To put it bluntly, is there still hope for me?</p>
<p>I got the borderline supplement from UCB and I also rejected by UCLA and UCSD. I dun know why UCB gives us those supplement if we are not even consider for UCLA and UCSD. That’s very sad :(</p>
<p>Son got the talent supplement last year and was accepted for Undeclared Engineering. Good luck.</p>
<p>Nice! Congrats!</p>
<p>I’m really anticipating Thursday haha</p>
<p>Thanks. He loves it there. Don’t give up hope. One things for sure, anything can happen. :-)</p>
<p>r u guys in state?</p>
<p>Us?? Yes. White male too… hahaha</p>
<p>@monfirst3: your son got in other UC?? UCLA and UCSD??</p>
<p>Yup, all three. Only Berkeley sent the supplement. Oh, he got into UCSB too.</p>
<p>Is the talent supplement the only “borderline” one? Are the others given to all applicants who have a disability/come from a disadvantaged environment?</p>
<p>no hope…so sad :(</p>
<p>I’ve never really found out if the talent one was for “borderline” students or not. I don’t think my son’s stats were borderline. I know there are two others - borderline and one for disabilities I think…</p>
<p>Would someone mind explaining a little more about the supplements? DD was rejected by UCSD, (we were shocked) UCLA (not as expected just because of the numbers) has competitive stats for both along with great EC’s. Still hoping for UCB, but now this supplemental thing is making us wonder???</p>
<p>Not everyone gets a supplement so don’t worry. You don’t need to get one in order to be accepted. Every year a percentage of students receive a supplement. There are three kinds (talent, borderline, and disability). My son got the talent one. It had questions on there related to his talent (he was a nationally ranked athlete) such as how many hours did he spend each week practicing, events he participated in, challenges involved with participation, etc. Basically getting a supplement means that someone on the admissions committee saw something in an application that they wanted to look at more closely. Completing a supplement can only help an applicant but it in no way guarantees acceptance. Hang in there and good luck.</p>
<p>I just received my UCI decision! Yay!</p>
<p>Anyways, do you guys think it would be wise to go to Berkeley if you are planning on going to Pharmacy school? Is it worth competing and taking the same classes against all the Pre-med majors? I am worried that my GPA will not be high enough in UCB in order to get admitted to a good Pharmacy School (Skaggs UCSD Grad School). </p>
<p>Am I better off choosing a less cutthroat college than UCB? UCD for instance…</p>
<p>I heard that Berkeley is not as good of a school if you are planning on going to med/pharmacy school, as you need a really high GPA.</p>
