<p>Hi</p>
<p>I applied to UCLA, Berkeley, Sandiego, Davis and Irvine.</p>
<p>BUT I really want to transfer from community college to UCLA.</p>
<p>So I wrote in the UC personal statement like "I really want to study at UCLA"</p>
<p>What do you think the UC Berkeley and UCSD might say?? Does it really matter??</p>
<p>must be a pretty bad essay if you write “I want to go to UCLA” in it…</p>
<p>I would imagine it does, even if you don’t care about the other schools. The statement itself doesn’t give a good representation of who you are. You’re saying that you really want the school (UCLA), but what you should really being doing is showing why UCLA should want YOU. I would also avoid naming specific schools to be on the safe side… and I should mention that generally, essays (at least the ones I’ve read) with that statement are rather “eh,” because it seems like you’re running out of ideas to sell yourself.</p>
<p>probably rejection… this is something schools do not look kindly upon</p>
<p>Lmao. You should have written “I want to go to UC [insert campus name here]” instead.</p>
<p>They won’t say anything. They will just give you a rejection letter.</p>
<p>depends on so many other things, though of course it’ll sound a tad ridiculous. Sorry, but you’ll just have to wait and find out.</p>
<p>I remember reading an old post on one of the Official Stanford Decisions, and there was a girl who got into Stanford, Harvard, Etc. but was rejected from UCLA because her counselor sent out a letter and mentioned that she loved Stanford. Will listing a school still within the UC system lessen the severity? Maybe a bit… but it will probably still be looked unfavorably upon. D:</p>
<p>I guess it’s gonna be a rejection to be completely honest, unless you have something else that really stands out. As someone else pointed out, phrasing it “I really want to go to xxxx” in your essay is not only obvious, but also shows you’re a bit desperate and running out of legitimate ideas or better ways of promoting yourself.
I wish you good luck!</p>
<p>The impression that I am getting from these responses is that as few as two letters can destroy one’s application. You should have just said UC or saved seven words, and because you didn’t, you may as well go take up residence in a eucalyptus tree with some koalas! </p>
<p>Honestly, though, they may be a little surprised at your editing job, but I really don’t believe that admissions officers could be nasty enough to reject you on the basis of that alone. We all have this very coldhearted impression of them, but we must keep in mind that they are not machines. You aren’t going to be excluded for one not-so-good thing on the application. If the stats are not there, it’s probably not a bad way to explain to people why you didn’t get in, nonetheless…</p>
<p>hopefully you’ll get rejected by ucla and accepted by the rest…</p>
<p>If you used the word “wanna,” you’ll probably be rejected by both.</p>
<p>I have a friend who wrote something like “UC Berkeley is my dream school” in his personal statement and eventually, he was accepted by both UCLA and UC Berkeley.</p>
<p>If you’re a transfer applicant, don’t worry about UCSD because they don’t read your personal statement but instead use a point-system to admit students.</p>
<p>^ eventually accepted? that means he got rejected and either appealed or transferred later from a cc?</p>
<p>^ good observation, sir</p>
<p>I also wrote that UCLA is my dream school…and then sent it to UC Santa Barbara as well!</p>
<p>Do you think theres anything I can do now? Cos they won’t have even begun processing the applications yet will they?</p>
<p>How bad is it if you do not send he SAT II scores for Berkeley and Santa Barbara?</p>
<p>I’ve read before of students who were pressured into applying to certain schools, and who responded by secretly writing in their applications that they didn’t want to go there. I would imagine that schools would tend to reject students who do this, unless it appears to be a mistake.</p>
<p>This summer I went to an informations session at Berkeley. The admissions officer said that one of their pet peeves was when people wrote specifically to individual schools, however she did mention that it would not significantly affect your acceptance.</p>
<p>If you don’t send your SAT II scores you can’t get accepted. It’s a requirement, so there are no exceptions. Send them in as soon as possible, they are still accepting scores.</p>
<p>can the subject tests be Spanish and Italian?</p>
