It’s actually not so crazy, since UCB has holistic admission, and SJSU is non holistic and also extremely competitive for certain majors. Some UCB EECS admits don’t have the extremely high grades that are required for SJSU admission, while still being astounding applicants in other ways.
Off topic for UCSB thread though.

I would also add that SJSU uses CSU GPA which is similar to capped UC gpa but UCB uses Uncapped Weighted GPA.
On the flip side, I have often seen kids get rejected by most of the UCs but get accepted by CalPoly.

Congratulations everyone - it was definitely no small accomplishment getting accepted!! If all of you Computer Science folks who were also accepted at SDSU - but don’t plan to go there now that you have been accepted to UCSB - could very kindly decline your offers from SDSU now, it would be greatly appreciated 
Thanks in advance!
