In a heartbeat! That’s what I was just saying to a friend lol. (And yes, I know that’s not how it works – yield is accounted for and all. But wouldn’t it be nice if it could work that way?)

Are kids are similar and similarly rejected! Sad that a 4.15 GPA is not good enough even to be waitlisted.
Rejected.
Applied for museum studies, alternate was film.
UCSB was my 1st choice for the UCs. Totally sucks 
No matter what happens, everything will be okay. Wishing everyone the best of luck

Well, it’s been zero for four for the UC’s over here. Daughter didn’t apply to UCLA or Berkeley.
Rejected: UC Davis, UCSB
Waitlisted: UCSC, UCSD, UMiami
Accepted: SDSU, CSULB, University of Oregon, CU Boulder, ASU (all oos acceptances came with merit scholarships)
Still waiting on: USC, U Wisconsin-Madison, UNC-Chapel Hill, and Boston U, which are reaches for her, unfortunately.
She will visit ASU and Boulder, but I think she is leaning toward SDSU unless one of the reaches comes through!

She’s got some nice choices in there too! 
I’m ready for S to commit somewhere (UCSB is not to be) so we can put this all behind us - get some swag and invest emotionally in the school he chooses. Sending hugs. They will not remember this craziness a year from now.
I really don’t know the stats because she switched schools, they weigh things differently, and every university seems to have its own system.
Major: Business-Marketing or Communications, depending on what programs she liked the most at each school.
UW: 3.7 - 3.85?
Weighted: 4.1 -4.3?
