<p>The two SAT Subject Tests considered must be from two different categories, unfortunately.</p>

<p>I know someone who applied early decision to a private university. While she was waiting, she applied to a bunch of other schools, including UCLA and UCB. She got accepted in her early decision and decided to attend the private university. So she e-mailed and called to have her application to UCLA and UCB rejected but she still got accepted. xD She felt bad for taking two spots at UCLA and UCB… It’s a fair world…</p>
<p>One of my best friends wrote about how much they wanted to go to Berkeley in their app, got into Berkeley, and was rejected from UCLA.</p>
<p>In short, you better hope it works for UCLA!</p>
<p>jiceo1 - do we have a wait list? because I’d assume if your friend didnt accept, the waitlist would allow more people in. </p>
<p>I’m not going to try to speak the mind of admissions since I’m not admissions, but view it in the context of a job interview. If you are a company and you have a candidate that flat out says “I want to work for Y company,” but you are X company, do you really want to hire him? I mean, you want people who want to be there because your attitude shapes your experience. If you go into a situation with the mindset that it’s not what you want, chances are it’s not going to work out more than it will work out. </p>
<p>At least several people read the application, so not everyone will think like that.</p>
<p>Look, if you wanna say something like “I really want to go to UCLA” say “Because of…(summarize all that stuff you wrote before this) I consider UCLA as by far my first choice college.” It’s better.</p>
<p>Is there any way of changing my essay?! I’ve already submitted.</p>
<p>melin720 - just personally, saying more would just hurt someone. Not only did you state you want to go somewhere else, but you have a long list of reasons why you want to go to that place. It shows your mind is set on the other place.</p>
<p>@adambedford, no you’re fudged</p>
