<p>Hey folks,</p>
<p>Last application round, I applied to UCSD just as a hey if it works then great if not no worries sorta thing. Needless to say they didn’t accept me, I was missing a few prereqs and I wasn’t aware of the double major time restrictions; I wouldn’t have been able to finish in time. However afterward I got an email from UCR saying that the sister schools said my academic career was awesome, that they would waive the fee and review my application. Same thing happened of course, lol, I was missing 1 of the required courses for major prep. and they said to finish that up to become eligible and that they look forward to my next application. </p>
<p>I was just wondering if anyone here has received something similar and/or how common it is to receive an application request from a school you didn’t apply to? I’m applying earnestly this time and I’m wondering what I may be able to infer from it.</p>
