bboy_skinnylegs: are you serious?!?!

MIT rejection is not a big surprise but UCLA?!?!?!?
(I’m not implying that your stats were too low for MIT; its just that MIT along with other elite colleges are so capricious about their decisions)

I never knew UCLA was such high reach. I know a korean guy who was accepted this year with 1200 SAT and okayish GPA but very good EC’s (few leadership positions and lots of community service). I guess UCLA is looking more towards EC’s now.

Just take UCLA as all the misfortunes you can ever get in your life. You’ll certainly get accepted into other schools.
