rejection from UCD = rejection from UCSB??
Is there any hope for those rejected from Davis to get into UCSB?

Jocelyne626 it is true that UCSB had more applications for fewer spots, but the quality of applicant overall was not higher than for UCD so take from that what you will....Northern California is less populated than Southern California. Still UCD had by far the highest increase in applications of any UC campus this year. This question is a little bit tricky to answer.

It's too early to worry, r89. Every school makes up its own mind one applicant at at time. If your words and numbers are "good enough" for SB, you have the same chance as a whole bunch of other people in the same group, and hopefully will catch their attention.

davis tightened up this year and id be very surprised if ucsb did the same thing

at first when i saw my rejection letter from davis, all i could think about was just settling with chico, but hearing other people's rejections made me lighten up a bit and have hope for ucsb still

Irrelevant, but actually Merced received a higher increase in applications this year...

at first i thought that i had a huge error in my application being that my stats are higher than davis in sat's and gpa from last year, but seeing others with similar stats that were also better than last year's helped me lighten up and realize that i wasnt alone
