<p>With all due respect and kindness, they are not going to pity you b/c your father is disabled. My advice to you is to send a letter to the colleges you are looking to appeal and try to show that you’re enthusiastic about going to that colllege. In your appeal, also, emphasize that your level of curriculum in China was remarkably hard and try to find some sort of statistic about the calibur of the school you went to.</p>
<p>myomoo,
tbh your stats are considerably low for a physics major…
but good luck</p>
<p>@YuhikoJay</p>
<p>What do you think is the AVERAGE STATS for UCLA Physics major?</p>
<p>Does it matter? You weren’t accepted. It’s time to stop dwelling and either go to RIT or CC.</p>
<p>MYOMOO, I keep coming upon your posts and I find myself worrying about you–I sincerely think you need to see a therapist, or even call a crisis hotline. I know it may not be very acceptable in your culture of origin, but your posts are increasingly desperate in tone, and perhaps due to language issues, you sometimes sound entitled, other times, overly self-abasing, sometimes almost irrational. All of this is causing you to receive harsh replies from people, which I am concerned could push you over the edge. You need someone who is totally on your side to hear you out and help you. I understand it–you applied all over the place, but really only want the UCs. I know of so many cases like this. RPI with $17,000 scholarship = UC with no scholarship, so it can’t really be the money, which makes other posters frustrated with the way you ignore RPI as an option. I understand it is UC or bust. I wish you had applied to ALL the UCs instead, but that is water under the bridge. File all your appeals, especially if you think they are missing information. Meanwhile, you will still have to figure out your finances, and more importantly, get some help for your mental distress.</p>
<p>You do need SAT subject tests for engineering and applied science.

<p>myomoo:
At least have all three sections of the SAT above 700…</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>If this is your ultimate goal, then you should be more concerned with getting into a good graduate school than a good undergraduate school. It won’t matter too much which college you go to for undergrad as long as you do really well there and can get into a good graduate program. So don’t stress, your undergraduate institution is not going to determine whether or not you do physics research in the future.</p>
<p>Totally agree with @tealeaves. It has been difficult seeing your numerous desperate posts, especially in the Davis forum. You need a better way of dealing with this than constantly coming here and spamming the forums.</p>
<p>You are so focused on stats that you don’t understand or comprehend that it could be something else in your application that caused the schools to reject you. In one of your posts you even wrote, “I don’t think the problem is my stats.” You are right–it’s not your stats that are the problem. Then what else is it? Each school denied you independently. Why do you think students with lower stats got in and you didn’t?</p>
<p>My guess is that your essays were at least part of the problem, based on the waitlist essay you posted in the Davis forum. You had several grammar errors and used the word “antique” when you meant something else. Your English is probably good for being in the U.S. a short amount of time, but admissions committees don’t like seeing mistakes in essays.</p>
<p>I’m also guessing you probably used the same or similar essays for all your applications, without writing distinctly about each school. In another thread about the waitlist essay, someone said they were writing about how they will add to the Davis community and you responded, “I did not even mention how I can contribute to the UC communities in my application.” This shows your essays were probably short-sighted.</p>
<p>Parents and your fellow students have tried to give you reasons and explanations behind the results you received and you continue to focus on stats, stats, stats. Your inability to see why you got these rejections shows a lack of maturity. You would do well to go to CC where you could grow and understand that this is a life lesson. If you truly want to be a research scientist, nothing will stop you–these rejections, going to CC, going to a school that’s not a UC–nothing will stop you.</p>
<p>Man I have two SAT subject test scores.</p>
<p>^Please read tealeaves and nowandzen’s responses. They really hit the mark.</p>
<p>All science/engineering/cs ppl have at least 2sat subject tests.
Ditto alwaysleah</p>
<p>Rejected from UCB appeal LOL</p>
<p>^Your best chance, as we have said so many times, is to either take up on your RPI option (which is a GREAT school). Or go to CC, in two years, you should be able to get to UC.</p>
<p>Oh. Do you think I am eligible to participate in a statewide path? I now have a four year HS transcript and stisfied a-g requirements. I AM TOP 9% of CA high graduate!</p>
<p>Rejected again from UCLA appeal. Anticipate to be rejected by Davis wailist LOL. Then appeal Davis. Again Rejected-------- Go to CCSF. Transfer with 4.0 GPA, then all UC rejected AGAIN. RIGHT???</p>
<p>Check this out [University</a> of California - Transfer Admission Guarantee](<a href=“http://www.universityofcalifornia.edu/admissions/transfer/guarantee/index.html]University”>http://www.universityofcalifornia.edu/admissions/transfer/guarantee/index.html)</p>
<p>It is actually guaranteed to some of the UC campus.</p>
<p>You should still pursue Davis Wait list. You never know it may come through. Actually since your transcript is still from your high school in China, I am sure you were reviewed in context of other students from that region in China. That may have played into being rejected or waitlisted at UC.</p>
<p>Coming from a UCLA student, don’t be sad that you were rejected. Go to a college in your country, attain a 4.0 or whatever your top grading scale is, and then apply for grad school. You will be happy you did.</p>
<p>ucla111, have you ever stopped to think and realize for a second that if you really were smart enough and had things going for you to get into grad school, UCLA isn’t what ruined you? It was probably your own stupidity.</p>
<p>Think about it. A person with things to do, responsibilities to keep, jobs to work, courses to study (all the characteristics for a good potential grad student) wouldn’t be making an account on a random internet forum, literally copy pasting “Don’t go to UCLA, I didn’t get in grad school because of UCLA” into ever perspective students’s thread. You have 10 posts, all 10 of them literally say the same thing with minor wording differences. “UCLA ruined me, UCLA ruined my chances at getting into grad school.” Unless UCLA murdered your mom or your dad, raped your siblings, and stole from you, chances are you ruined yourself and that’s why you feel the need to stick the blame of failure on the school and not yourself. </p>
<p>Some people are too stupid to understand just how stupid they are. That’s part of the territory. </p>
<p>(response copy pasted from another thread, have a taste of your own medicine)</p>
<p>^Excellent response. I was thinking the same thing.</p>
