<p>do you guys think uc campuses communicate..example ucsc would tell the other uc's they admitted you, the other campuses use the information in their decision.what do you guys think?</p>
<p>Yes.</p>
<p>Case in point: ELC. You are guaranteed admission as a freshman (or were, anyway) to one of the UCs. In order for that to happen, every school needs to know you've applied and where you've been rejected so that they can figure out where to accept you.</p>
<p>wouldn't it be unethical, though, to use that sort of information against someone who's clearly admit-worthy? i certainly hope that's not the case!</p>
<p>i heard that even for transfers if you apply to up to 6 schools(UCs) you are guaranteed admission to one of the schools</p>
<p>... provided you meet minimum requirements. I wouldn't be surprised, aebeys.</p>
<p>hallwayangel: unethical how? The UCs are all about giving all California students a fair chance. If they know that cross-admits limit their chance to admit another student, then they're going to try to minimize their cross-admits. I don't have any evidence they do this, and the fact that people get into multiple UCs shows that they <em>do</em> cross-admit, but I am POSITIVE they share information if they feel the need to.</p>
<p>i'm not saying that sharing info is unethical (and i'm sure they do share). i'm just saying that if someone is eligible to be admitted to one uc, they shouldn't be penalized because they were accepted to another - hence, using shared information AGAINST worthy candidates. so i agree with you when you say ucs are about giving california studnets a fair chance. and cross-admits are probably the biggest evidence we have that the info shared between them isn't used against us. but who knows, it's just a speculation.</p>
<p>I don't think they share information so that a student who's already been admitted somewhere who, for example, is an "if" at Berkeley can be passed over in favor of someone not admitted anywhere, but I do think they have valid reasons for sharing information.</p>
<p>For what, with whom and why? are all questions I can't answer. ;)</p>
<p>I asked my counselor this question because I used Santa Cruz as a safety (I live nearby) and was worried that UCSD and UCLA would somehow not feel as inclined to offer me a place at their schools because I'd been offered admission elsewhere. I got this answer:</p>
<p>The campuses do not share information between them unless and until you are rejected from everywhere you applied. </p>
<p>Those applications which have been universally rejected are then looked at again and if the person is qualified, they attempt to find a space to offer up at one of their campuses, as in their mission statement. </p>
<p>However, lately there are have been so many applicants that they really can't guarantee admission to every qualified applicant like they have in the past.</p>
<p>My counselor is sometimes full of s***, but this actually sounded logical and echoes something I remember reading on the UC website. Hope it helps. Good luck everyone!</p>
<p>CERTAIN UCs share info. I know that for sure. AND out of high school, if you are top 10% of your class, you are GUARENTEED admission to atleast ONE UC. (Affirmative Action) im not too sure about transfers tho. BUT i do know that UCLA AND Cal (UCB) share info because almost EVERY student that is accepted to UCLA will PROBABLY be accepted to CAL. SO, if that happens lets say half go to CAL and half go to UCLA, that only fills up half of the admission spots. So wat they do is, the school that has the better major, like say a student thats an engineering major, will most likely be admitted to CAL and rejected from UCLA. And vice versa for LA for like Econ. If you ask around ppl from both schools you will notice "yea i got accepted from CAL but not LA...kinda wierd..." etc... of course there are exceptions but i mean i think its pretty logical.</p>
<p>oh and im not too sure about the other UCs. BUT i did have a friend out of high skool that had a 3.6 get rejected from ALL the UCs he applied to and randomly UCR sent him an acceptence letter eventho he didnt apply there. So im guessin they do when you get rejected from ALL the UCs. Again not sure about transfers.</p>
