Keep your heads up, everyone! I’m sure your other colleges will see how awesome you are and appreciate you!! :)</p>

<p>Accepted to UCSD, SDSU, CSU Long beach, and UCSC
Rejected to UC Davis</p>
<p>So happy and grateful to have been admitted! I think I’m going to be going to UCSD though, if I don’t get into UCLA that is (I probably won’t). Good luck to everyone!</p>
<p>on a side note…S did not get into Honors but I read on UCSB page that you get automatically accepted to Honors after one year upon application if you have GPA of 3.6…Honors is nice since it gets you priority registration. Well, he hasn’t decided yet where to go, but that is good to know.</p>
<p>I’ve been skimming through this thread and noticed that no one got in for ChemE yet. So I was wondering, has anyone been specifically accepted into ChemE and if so, what were their stats?</p>
<p>@clausius. Got in for ChemE, but kinda knew b/c of the chancellors thing. </p>
<p>4.38(3.8uw),2120,34 act,10 AP’s, 790 biom/math2. 740 chem. </p>
<p>I’m honestly not sure how i got in, b/c my essays were specifically about my bioengineering internships and how it has let me grow as a person and researcher. Literally mentioned ChemE only once (as being part of the various fields applicable to bioe). You can look at my previous chances threads for more detailed stats! Congrats to all who got in!</p>

<p>@coolkat123 Those SAT 2s pulled you right in. I, on the other hand, didn’t take any science ones + my math 2 was horrible lol. I think they’re mostly looking at math & science coursework + anything else that shows strong preparation for these areas (subject tests, research, etc.). Congrats! :)</p>
<p>@Lilliana330 Talk about things happening for a reason! Now you can be a chem major!</p>
<p>@collegevetting Yup! + Had I transferred down, I wouldn’t have been admitted to honors as a freshman. Worked out better than I thought. :)</p>
<p>Accepted with Honors Program!
UW: 3.96
Not sure about weighted, but probably quite a bit higher than my UW as I’ll have 13 APs by end of this year.
SAT: 2280 (800 CR, 740 W/M)
SAT II: 800 Math 2, 780 Literature
Don’t know rank, technically not ELC (I believe I do qualify, but since I’m new to my school, apparently I’m not even considered for it)<br>
Average EC’s, I thought my essays were good, but I’m not so sure anymore.<br>
Highly competitive public school. </p>
<p>Honestly I don’t know if I’m an OOS applicant or not… I live in California right now but have for less than a year, which I believe makes me considered Out of State. So I’m definitely not banking on getting into Cal or UCLA and am so thankful to have fantastic options such as UCSB and UCSD. </p>
<p>Oh, for future reference - I did not receive an invitation to the Chancellor’s Reception, but did get Honors. So you definitely don’t have to be a Reception Invitee to get into the Honors program, which was something that I was worried about. </p>
<p>Congrats to everyone who got in! </p>

4.13gpa, 27act,1780sat (very average ec’s)</p>
<p>Both sons accepted!</p>
<p>I was sweating it for S1 since he didn’t get the Chancellor’s invitation when his brother did, and he’s the one who best likes UCSB of the two of them (although both like it .) He was in a group stat wise where UCSB accepts a good chunk every year, but also rejects a good chunk, and I just didn’t know which way it would go. Davis sent him a supplement and saw his straight As this year in 6 AP courses, but UCSB didn’t send a supplement, so didn’t see that. Some others with similar stats on this thread got waitlisted or denied, and I feel very fortunate that he was accepted!</p>
