did you apply to any other colleges? privates? CSU?'s

UC’s had a record number of applicants this year.
A lot of my friends applied to UC’s and there have been a lot of people with great GPA’s SAT’s and extracurriculars that got rejected and wait listed, and there were also a lot of people with lower than average GPA’s SAT scores and not as good extracurricular that got in. I have friends who should’ve gotten into Davis as a safety but got wait listed because they applied for a super impacted major.

A lot of it is because of the majors you applied for. Some majors are more competitive than others and some majors are also super impacted.

I mean when I look at your grades, it seems as though you should have at least gotten into Davis or Irvine- or at least wait listed. But so many people applied this year so it had a major impact on admission decisions.

Best of luck!
