<p>I've heard a lot of times UCLA's admissions is quite weird, sometimes rejecting a lot of strong students while taking the weaker ones. I heard it was addressed in TIMES a couple times or something, is it true?</p>
<p>Well, they do give preference to Ca residents(hence the C in UCLA) and that can lead to better students getting rejected. You can find information on exactly how they process apps at there wesbite.</p>
<p>No college purposely sets out to take "weaker" students. I think it's fairer to say they merely have a different definition of "strong."</p>
<p>Well, two girls at my school both applied at UCLA, and they're both equally strong in academics, ec's ,sats, etc. they both got accepted to CAL but i dont get why one got into UCLA and the other didn't. so that's weird, but also i didn't get into UCDavis but this girl at a high school in the "ghetto" got in, when i have more ec's than her, a higher sat score. i think the UC system is ridiculous.</p>
<p>^ I have a lot of choice words to say to you, but that might get me banned for one more day, so I'll to keep it neat and civil. </p>
<p>You don't deserve to go to UCDavis. You should be grateful to get in wherever else you may have wormed into. Your comment on how a girl in the "ghetto" got in over you when you have more EC's and higher SAT score is something I could not answer back over a thousand profanities and words. I don't want to get in a rant, but I want you to think about how selfish your comment was.</p>
