<p>WarehouseAtHome and roxy0628, I personally know several students who were accepted into UCSB who clearly have lower stats than I have in every respect. Also, UCs don’t accept letters of recommendation. And seriously, if you’re feeling bad about getting accepted, get over yourself. My getting rejected confuses me. The fact that you got accepted is great, but don’t come in here talking down to me about making sure I don’t offend the people who were accepted. I mean, give me a break.</p>
<p>And according to the UCSB website, the average accepted SAT was 1905 and the average W GPA was 4.1. The average for the admitted class was 1817/3.9. Judging from this, I should have been accepted. My councilor, who has been working for a long time and is very knowledgeable, didn’t think I would have any trouble getting in. Something is wrong with the UC system, that’s the best explanation I can come up with. </p>
<p>And UC Merced is below me as far as I’m concerned. SDSU has a better reputation than UC Riverside and Santa Cruz I might add. And a lower acceptance rate.</p>
