Do campuses make their admissions decisions independently from other UC campuses?
“Each UC campus evaluates each application without knowing the status of the same application at another campus. In making admission decisions, campuses do not consider where you’ve applied or your admission status to other campuses. All campuses consider your application simultaneously, yet independently of all other campuses you applied to.”

@Jose1996 Congrats on getting into Cal! Fingers crossed you get into UCLA too!
@willowstil you are seriously the best person in these uc threads!!! ty for the answer 
@bboy99 that’s a myth. Many get accepted to both.
@BBoy99 thank you so much!
@slimreaper You’re too kind! Glad I could help 
@Chez59 I’m in the same boat as you too, got rejected from Cal and surprisingly from Davis too…
Can we make a new thread focusing on Psych transfers?
@ishitak have you been accepted anywhere? Is it possible there is a glitch in your application?
@Ohm888 I got accepted to UCSB (TAG) and UCI. I was kind of expecting to get rejected from Cal but not from Davis. What do you mean by a glitch?
@JakeRice40
Yes you should def call. I got rejected from ucsb and gave them a call and they told me the exact reason of why i got rejected.
I think maybe its because you had half of your units from an out of state cc, thats why? But still it doesnt make sense for SLO…
@ishitak ok you don’t have a glitch. I was thinking after the surprising line that if you’re rejected everywhere there might be a system-wide application error, such as under 60 units, etc.
In Berkeley’s FAQs, they say they won’t talk specifics about applications. Are they just saying that to discourage people, and will actually answer questions I had?
@ishitak I got denied by Davis too! I was surprised because I met all of their requirements for psych and my gpa is pretty good. Can’t win them all I guess
If my GPA is way above 75th percentile and my major has a 43% acceptance rate, do you think I stand a chance even though I am missing one prerequisite? How strict is UCLA about major prereqs. I just want an honest answer. So discouraged after being rejected from Cal.
@JakeRice40 SLO is very hard to get into (especially as a transfer) and all majors there are impacted.
Sorry if this is a silly question but I tried googling it and I couldn’t find the answer: why is a college rejection called an “L”?
I got accepted to Berkeley for Spring 2020, majoring in Political Science. Would you guys take the offer and start until spring or go to UCLA instead for Fall?
