<p>Read this thread, <a href="http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/university-california-general/608088-estimate-your-admissions-decision-ucsd.html%5B/url%5D">http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/university-california-general/608088-estimate-your-admissions-decision-ucsd.html</a> particularly the first couple of posts, for the factors used in the admissions decision and thus the reason why you see someone with 'lower stats' get in and the higher stat person receive a no. It is very deterministic. UCSD will share the score with you, if rejected, and if there is a factor that you think warranted a different scoring than you received, and that factor would pull you up over the cutoff, then UCSD will help you file an appeal.</p>
<p>But I do think highly of myself and it is hard not to compare test scores when that is the main deciding factor in determining who gets in and who doesn't.</p>
<p>Accepted: Econ, Marshall!! =]
I can have a good night rest now. :D</p>
<p>Congratulations to everyone who was accepted!</p>
<p>To those of you who were unfortunately were not accepted but plan to appeal, or who decide to call in for any other reason, I'm sure the younger CC members, myself included, would be very grateful if you shared this year's cut off.</p>
<p>schindlr88 - if you look at the formula, you will quickly see that it is easy for someone to rack up credits that turn a 3.0 GPA and 1600 SATs into the same point equivalent as someone who has a 4.5 UC GPA and 'perfect' SATs, but none of those preference items.</p>
<p>Not only is it not the main deciding factor, but if you look at raw points you will be mislead by the influence those stats have. Most people need a 3.0 GPA plus some reasonable SAT just to qualify to apply, thus the range of points between bottommost GPA and top is just 1500. The range from bottom most (400 on every section) to top is not that much either. Rack up a number of 500 point preference items in the formula and suddenly it will overwhelm entirely the pure stats points effect.</p>
<p>There's a difference between "how come you got in and i didn't", and "Congratulations! I wonder why I didn't get in." One is more likely to get you answers, and the other makes you seem as you sit on a high horse. </p>
<p>The best course of action is, as someone mentioned, calling them and finding out your score, and trying to get a rough feel for the cutoff by seeing what other's are getting in with. Then, start workign on an appeal.</p>
<p>As for all the others, CONGRATULATIONS and welcome to UCSD!</p>
