<p>nice looking campus but total wacko student population..its a great school if you are on the far left and enjoy daily strikes/protests for the unskilled</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Uhhhh, I take that back. UCI is looking pretty good. LOL.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Hey this is NOT nice to say and your saying is such a blank statement without any supporting evidences! </p>
<p>By the way, I know many students in my school with GPA 3.7+ including those with GPA 4.0 still haven't heard from UCSD yet. Some of them have already been accepted in UCI or UCSC or UCR...</p>
<p>Yeah, you really shouldn't say stuff like that, expecially since there are people (like me) who haven't heard from a single college yet. It's only making this whole waiting process worse.</p>
<p>i have like a 3.67, econ/math major, honors. i got into ucsc but havent heard from ucsd. i certainly hope that doesnt mean ive been rejected.</p>
<p>I have 3.75 and have not heard from any UC's. As I mentioned in my first post, I do not insists that it is a fact, but there is some strong feelings that It can be true</p>
<p>IF it is YOUR strong feeling that is true to you personally, that is fine! </p>
<p>However, if you claim that it is true without giving any evidences, that is NOT fine! </p>
<p>Also note that everyone has different observation but your observation about that receiving late admission= rejection is kind of strange to some people at least to me.</p>
<p>Frankly, your feelings are absolutely incorrect, haybaxt. There is nothing of value here. If you can provide actual backing to your claim, then do so. Otherwise, every other piece of information out there entirely goes against your claim.</p>
<p>All the schools people are still waiting on will tell you that there are still stacks of applications they haven't gotten to yet for a final review. Not having a decision yet means NOTHING NOTHING NOTHING in terms of admission at this point.</p>
<p>i think he made this thread to test his guess, and i dont see whats wrong with it, its his opinion. I think it may have some logic to it because i dont think they can admit everyone that meets their requirements. to me this means they look at applications and say 'yes' or 'maybe', and later review the maybes and chose the better ones. if not then obviously the people at the bottom of the pile would be at a great disadvantage, because they would just admit all the first apps they review and are decent, filling up the spots of apps they look at later that may be better.
I understand they dont have a set amount to admit, but they will not change greatly from year to year.</p>
<p>moral of the story is.... i wish theyd just notify all of as at once.... accepted/rejected. whatever. anything but "decision pending".</p>
<p>yeah... decision pending is so irritating :(</p>
<p>Ok, I need to further explain...</p>

<p>First, statistics on the entire applicant pool are put together (based on info from all applications). Then, the actual review of each application comes after that (thus invalidating the last contention you make). The current issue is not with schools marking some with "maybe" but instead with schools having thousands of applications to get to for a final review. This can be confirmed by calling the schools: for instance, Davis began by releasing about 2000 decisions (hardly a sizable portion of the pool), with more and more coming as they get to more applications. The reason we arent seeing rejections yet is because of the strength of the people who visit this forum, coupled with the fact that students have little incentive to come on here and showcase their rejection, not because rejections are going to come to all those who have yet to receive a decision</p>
<p>.."coupled with the fact that students have little incentive to come on here and showcase their rejection"</p>
<p>good point! whereas once admitted, id post asap... once rejected, itd take some time for the bruised ego to heal before i would run around posting my rejection & stats.</p>
<p>"once rejected, itd take some time for the bruised ego to heal before i would run around posting my rejection & stats."</p>
<p>If you look at old decision threads, you'll see some people who pop-in and make like one or two posts, asking about people stats and waiting, and then they disappear (never stating their own decision).</p>
<p>yeah bummer. screws w/ statistics on this board. well i'm gonna post, no matter what (acceptance or rejection). i promise :) i know it will help others & future applicants.</p>

<p>Some of you are so vocal when it comes to disapproval. Let me clarify my points. Let us say they look at 200 applications per day, and accept, lets say 150. Now you, who are so vocal, please answer me: what happens to those 50 remaining applicants? Let me point out that no one got rejection notice so far from UCI or UCSD. What is your logic?
Cant you see that those who have no decisions yet can be among those 50 rejected applicants???</p>
<p>"Let me point out that no one got rejection notice so far from UCI or UCSD."</p>
<p>I addressed that, haybaxt, please pay attention. The reason we haven't seen rejections is because of the nature of this board; you certainly cannot assume there aren't rejections because they haven't popped up on here.</p>
<p>If they are doing a final review (and each school has its own process by the way) then I would assume that there are some who get accepted, some who are rejected, and perhaps a very small amount that are marked as borderline and set aside for further review. In any case, those numbers would be extremely insignificant compared to the large stack of applications they have yet to get to.</p>
<p>You need to agree that there is a very strong logic behind my points</p>
<p>There isn't. There is strong logic behind the fact that thousands of applications still haven't been touched for a final review. If we were later in the process (mid to late April) your contentions would be more likely.</p>
<p>does anyone know if uci or ucsd rejected anyone? i know no one on this site got rejected from anywhere yet except for some unlucky applicants to UCSC... The thing is, everyone i've talked to has a pretty legit shot at getting into either UC so i'm pretty sure they just haven't gotten to the apps yet. Maybe you should ask some of your peers at your C.C.C to see if they were rejected because collegeconfidential people tend to have skewed stats.</p>
