I really want to go to UCI. My GPA is 4.3 and ACT is 32. I got waitlisted at UCSD. I know UCSD is slightly harder to get into, but is a waitlist at UCSD similar to an acceptance at UCI?
No one can tell you what your chances are for each UC campus. You will see applicants that are rejected from UCD and UCSD, but get into UCLA/UCB. You are a competitive applicant so you stand a good chance at UCI. Best of luck.
Let me tell you why that’s bullshit. I got waitlisted to UCSD and UCD hpoing to at least get into UCI. And guess what? Waitlisted by UCI for Comp E. with 4.2 gpa and 1930 sat.
