<p>For some reason, UCSD seems to have accepted many students who are below their regular standards...Anyone know why? I've also heard about people getting rejected from UCSB or UCI but getting into UCSD, too. The admissions this year seems a bit off? Was there any evidence of this in the UCLA decisions?</p>
<p>Finally, the UCs say that they don't communicate with each other regarding their applicants while I hear from others that they, in fact, DO. Anyone have any answers? Just curious...</p>
<p>hm well, I got into UCI, UCSB and UCSD and I met all of the requirements. But anyways, about the UCLA thing--I personally did not apply there but had many friends that did. One of my friends is very active on campus and in the community and is also going to be the valedictorian. He got a 2240 on his SAT and he got rejected from UCLA. On the other hand, I had another friend that applied to UCLA that had about a 4.2 weighted GPA. He was probably equally active on campus and in the community as my friend that got rejected; however, he had a 1790 on the SAT. He got accepted to UCLA. So to answer your question about the UCLA admissions, I think the admission process might be a little screwy this yr--who knows. It always perplexes me.</p>
<p>^i think UCLA rejected him because they thought he would get into a better school.</p>
<p>I got into UCI, UCSB, UCSD as well. I didn't get into UCLA, but some of my friends (who I thought had lower stats than i did) got in.</p>
<p>UC GPA = 3.7 (Well below average for UCLA, i know)
SAT = 2100</p>
<p>I'm wondering whether the UCB's decisions will reflect the other UC's decisions.</p>
<p>which college did you get into at UCSD?
I am also waiting to hear from UCB.</p>
<p>Sixth College as Undeclared Physical Science. But I want to change my major to engineering~~</p>
<p>good choice.</p>
<p>ah nice..
i got into revelle as undeclared
i plan on majoring in bio--if i can
its an impacted major so i dunno how things will go.</p>
<p>I think the standards went down at SD.... me- GPA: 3.3 W/1970 SAT.... accepted... pretty sad... going to Irvine</p>
<p>wow 3.3w and 1970 sat and accpeted to sd. well congrats... your choosing irvine over sd?</p>
<p>Yeah, that's really good.....</p>
<p>Anyway, anyone know how hard it is to change major to an impacted one?</p>
<p>Stats is only like 2/3 of the admission.</p>
<p>There's a huge part that stats alone won't account for.</p>
<p>And there are always factors that can make up for low stats.</p>
<p>yea i dont believe the cutoff point number went down this year, so i wouldnt imagine it got any easier to gain admission this year. every year at uc's, even top uc's there are surprises, lower stats people sometimes get in over higher statistic candidates. i think its like that every year. uc admissions, especially to uc berkeley, ucla, and ucsd can be a toin coss.</p>
<p>Not to talk crap about my friend, but he got accepted to UCLA with 3.8 WGPA(he's top 10%), 1580 New SAT I, below 600 on all SAT IIs, and all 1s and 2s on every AP exam. Even though he's in JROTC, I still don't understand how he got in. </p>
<p>The salutatorian from my school with 2290 SAT I, 790 MathIIC, 760 USH, 800 Chinese, 5s on 8 AP exams got rejected. I also think that the UC admissions this year is messed up.</p>
<p>btw, the salutatorian was ELC which significantly increases the chances for students who are in the top 4% in Californian schools.</p>
