UCB and UCLA: Can you get in both?

<p>I was accepted to UCLA for CS. I'm wondering if you can get in to UCB if you were accepted to UCLA or is it one or the other only?</p>

<p>i got in both. i got in ucla honors and im berkely regents...so it is possible</p>

<p>I'm not honors. It's probably the SAT (which I think is 20 below cut-off) although my GPA is pretty good..</p>

<p>I got into both--Regents candidates for both. I'm waiting on Berkeley now.</p>

<p>of course it's possible.</p>

<p>sure you can, altho for impacted majors like engineering, it is more difficult.</p>

<p>This is like asking, "Can you get into both Harvard and Yale?"</p>

<p>Sure, but it's not easy.</p>

<p>There are students who were accepted into all UCs but not a single Ivy League.</p>

<p>There are also students who got accepted to Ivies, but not UCLA or Berkeley.</p>

<p>Welcome to the crapshoot that is life.</p>

<p>Wait, there is an SAT cutoff?</p>

<p>There is an SAT cutoff for the honors program if you want to be accepted during the first quarter.</p>

<p>"There are also students who got accepted to Ivies, but not UCLA or Berkeley."</p>

<p>Much, much more so the other way around, and you know it. =P</p>

<p>Of course, but my point was that there's no conspiracy that makes sure that applicants only get into UCLA or Berkeley, and not both. It just happens, and people read too much into it.</p>

<p>I got into LA whoo... and am waiting on Berkeley. Yeah you can get into both. I hope to prove it ;)</p>

<p>Dragonicebreaker- Not if I beat you to it! :p</p>

<p>I know a guy who got into Harvard and Yale, but not Berkeley or UCLA.</p>

<p>Of course, it should be said that he was OOS (actually 'out-of-country', as he's Canadian), is a URM, and was recruited at Harvard and Yale for ice hockey, a sport that Berkeley and UCLA don't even play. Surely that had a lot to do with it.</p>

<p>No way, eh. It was a conspiracy against Canucks, donchaknow?</p>

<p>Flame me not, Canadian brothers, for I jest out of love and reverence!</p>

<p>Berkeley has hockey, sakky, i'm just not sure what the level is. My sources say that it's intercollegiate. Oh, and they play UCLA. Both teams just suck compared to, say, the best in the country.</p>

<p>I'm not talking about the ACHA Pac-8 Division II competitions. These are just club sports, which are basically just an expanded version of intramurals. Pac-8 hockey teams can't offer athletic scholarships, they have to pay their own way for game travel, they even have to pay for their own practice ice time. Come on, this is not "real" college hockey, and certainly not something for which you can be recruited at. Seriously, ice hockey isn't even recognized as an official sport by the Cal athletic department. Obviously if you can't even get official recognition, then the athletic department won't be able to submit your name for special admissions consideration. </p>

<p>I am specifically talking about Division I hockey, which is, truly big-time college hockey. Most Division I teams (the Ivies being a major exceptions) offer athletic scholarships to hockey players, and obviously get free game travel, free ice time, free athletic facility use, and all of the trappings of a major program. Nevertheless, despite not being able to offer athletic scholarships, the Harvard hockey team is one of the better teams in the country, ranked #23 in the latest poll. That's a better ranking than the Cal football team had in the final AP poll (#25). True, there are more division 1A football teams out there, but when you consider the fact that the Cal football team offers scholarships, but the Harvard hockey team doesn't (and has to compete against schools that do), I think a #23 ranking is pretty darn good. </p>

<p>Haha, I love sakky posts. </p>

<p>Mr. X: I dunno, I think that the new burger at McD's isn't good.
sakky: Actually.........</p>

<p>[Three pages later, with exhaustive evidence and argumentation....]</p>

<p>...so that's why I think that the burger is decent.</p>
