<p>I got rejected at UCSB too! But I got into Irvine and Riverside and Santa Cruz. I’m waiting for Cal and Davis and Santa Clara University.
Other than that I’ve gotten into every college so far. :slight_smile: Senior year wasn’t as scary as I thought it would be!
Don’t worry! You’ll get into Irvine. My SAT scores weren’t very good.</p>

3

<p>I had a 3.97 weighted GPA and 3.85 unweighted. Your SAT’s are a lot better than mine. (1770 maybe less…? I don’t quite remember, heh.) I am almost positive you’ll get into Irvine.
Your EC’s are amazing too (:</p>

<p>ahhhhhh thanks! im still bummed though because ive visted there and its so amazing. i messed up so bad sophomore year ugh. ive gotten into uc riverside, purdue, texas a&m, ohio state, baylor, and northeastern so far!</p>

5

<p>there’s two comment boxes on the uc application, did u explain why u did bad during sophmore year??
ur test scores and ECs are amazing, i think u have a high chance at davis and irvine.</p>

6

<p>yeah Dreamutolife, in the Additional Comments section i put down that i wasnt in country for some time when that happened sophomore year. </p>

<p>thanks i hope i get in but i thought it would be easier to get into UCSB though? isnt davis tougher?</p>

7

<p>Is UCSB harder to get in than Irvine?</p>

8

<p>I always thought Irvine was harder, but I got into Irvine and was waitlisted for SB</p>

9

<p>I know SB is ranked higher…
SB is #39 and Irvine is #41</p>

<p>I got into SB but haven’t even heard from back from Irvine yet which people are saying means a rejection</p>

10

<p>ummm im curious about the same thing too- which uc is tougher (between davis, sb and irvine). ktballerina and mapoch, do u guys mind to mention ur GPA and test scores? cuz u guys are in opposite situation of each others, lol</p>

<p>Ranking wise, UCSB and Davis are tied fro #39 and Irvine is down at #41

<p>it also depends on the majors though. and idk if it means a rejection though because two of my friends just found out about UCI and they were both admitted.</p>

14

<p>Nope, checked earlier and I was rejected lol
It was sorta expected though with my stats…strange that I got into SB</p>

15
