So...I've heard from some people that often times, a lot of people that got rejected to UCLA got accepted to Berkeley, and vice versa. Any of you know people that this has happened to?

this is going to sound dumb..... but everytime i'm in the college parking lot walking to my car (like today) and i see a bumper sticker that says 'cal' or uc berkeley', i think to myself "well, SOMEBODY did it..... what about me?"

dbguy...which one, there was a housing theory last year that was true and one this year that is not likely...

variable...yes that happens all the time. I know of people personally that it happened too. I posted a video clip a few days ago about a woman who slept in her car w/ her son & went to ccc and transferred to Berkeley, she had a high GPA but UCLA rejected her.

Haha, I see those so damn much, it's ridiculous. They serve as a reminder of the impending decision for me.

Ektaylor - I'm assuming you got into UCLA right?

If so, are you preferring Cal over LA?

If so, then that's the way to do.

you will be...I've seen it both ways...people who were accepted to both and people who were accepted to only one. There was a person last year that was accepted to both, decided to go to UCLA and then regretted turning down Berkeley... I don't know whatever happened to him though cuz I haven't heard from him in a long time on CC.

Sigh. Why can't we trade with people with similar stats? That would be great.

I cant believe a guy with 3.5 GPA got admitted vs my 3.9 GPA. Both same major... pre-reqs really were killer for UCLA ... but I still hold onto the theory that UCLA practices tufts syndrome like crazy.
