@E17 I sympathize with you, and I would be disappointed if you didn’t feel this way given all the sacrifices and hard work you have put in and the results you got for it in grades and test scores. Unfortunately, the result you received for your application isn’t what you think you deserved, and by trying to make sense of it, you resort to the most logical method of “objective comparison” to your peers. The reality of the subjective acceptance method employed by fine institutions such as UCLA is that it has no logic, which of course makes it impossible for a brilliant applicant like you to accept, and I commend you for it. I have known way too many individuals that share your disappointment and anger. I am proud to say that most of them turned their “miserable” reality into an amazing college experience and used the “rejection” as a motivational force and with the chip on their shoulder they overachieved and excelled to the highest level of success both academically and socially.
