<p>here's what I think is random...</p>
<p>a friend of mine with 1800 ish SAT, a GPA closer to 3.0 than 4.0 and nothing much in the extracurricular section got into UC berkeley as a fall admit. </p>
<p>I got a 2280 on the SATs, pretty good SAT IIs (>750) and had a 4.2 weighted GPA and my extracurriculars were similar to hers; I was a spring admit...</p>
<p>I just don't get it...</p>
<p>I got into Berkeley Mechanical Engineering, but not UCLA.</p>
<p>RANDOM FOR SURE. I am still trying to figure this out?</p>

<p>Alwyshopeful,</p>
<p>I don't get it either. Was your friend a URM or did she have any extraordinary hardships? </p>
<p>As the parent of a junior who has > 2200 on the SAT I and 1500 on the SAT IIs, I worry that next year's class will be even more unpredictable.</p>
