I’m so sorry that you didn’t get an outright acceptance to Davis. You sound like a fantastic candidate. For what it’s worth, a WUE cost of attendance to Colorado State seems like it could be a great option. I have a friend whose daughter chose Colorado State for veterinary studies of some sort and it’s been really great!

My son was invited to apply to join the honor college after getting a 4.0 gpa in his first quarter in Davis. However, the email also stated invitees are not guaranteed to be accepted.

Thank you for the kind words! 
and yes as @Gumbymom said I am out of state 
and no I didn’t apply to Cal Poly SLO, only California school I applied to was Davis.
Thank you so much!! and yes, I am a little disappointed to have not gotten an outright acceptance, but remaining hopeful on the waitlist. and if in the end I don’t get an acceptance from Davis, I am still really happy with my other acceptances! Accepted my admission from Colorado as I wait for the Davis waitlist outcomes

If you have financial need, have you checked the numbers? I am pretty sure the University of California does not grant financial aid to out of state students. You may still get Federal aid, but would that be enough to make UC Davis affordable?

This should probably be on the waitlist thread, but I just want to send a big shout-out for Colorado State if you are pre-vet Animal Science. Family member chose CSU over Davis for undergrad because they loved the CSU campus and surrounding area. They are now a successful Vet school graduate doing residency (teaching and research) at a major college Vet program.

Hello and thank you for sharing your story - it’s uplifting and hopeful! Pandemic lockdown and distance learning was dismal and you had the strength and clarity to take all the steps to merge to homeschooling! So glad to hear your son is happy and thriving at Chico State! Thank you again. My DD received a very surprising acceptance from Cal Poly SLO the same day as the rejection from UC Davis. Life!? Will wait to see how everything pans out by next week and then make a decision. Best!

So far we haven’t heard back anywhere else! Top choices are Duke UMich Hopkins and Amsterdam,
Fingers crossed…
maybe your class rank (not top 10%)?
Did you not take the other AP exams or make <3? If so and you reported those scores you’ve got your answer.

i took 4 of the ap exams, only didn’t pass one of them and i’m taking the other 3 by may. some of my other friends who got in were ranked in the hundreds and they still got in! i think this is just a matter of who fits better within davis or not.

@techno13: UC Davis based on my past experience leans very much towards fit (as defined by them).
