Rejected from UCSC - does that mean I won't get in to UCD?

[enfieldacademy]

<p>

UCSC’s admissions were very strange so far. Some of my overly qualified friends got rejected/waitlisted, so I wouldn’t worry about it. You definitely should have gotten in. If you look at the UCSC CC’s website right now, many people are wondering why there were waitlisted/rejected…and they have very good stats.
Anyway, no, a rejection from UCSC does not mean you won’t get in to UCD. These admissions, evidently, are pretty random and anything can happen. Good luck! You’ll find out soon enough!

</p>

<p>Thanks for the optimism! I know, I saw some quite qualified people get rejected - like someone with a 2070 SAT and 3.8 UC gpa, and 2150 SAT and 3.6 UC gpa.</p>

how did you apply to college TWICE in two years? o___O</p>

<p>unless the first time around you were a hs senior, and now you’re a transfer student?</p>

<p>if you’re a transfer, then admissions don’t care about hs grades.

</p>

<p>I applied last year and was accepted. Then my acceptance was rescinded because I got a D in a class. I took a gap year (no school), and decided to apply again, with a slightly improved app, hoping i would get in again.</p>

<p>

what major did you apply to? and what are your EC’s like?

</p>

<p>The major was “Mathematics (computational)”. My EC’s are average/weak - math team for a few years, volunteering 4hours/week outside for a couple months a year, figure drawing classes, and that’s really it (no sports, leadership positions, etc.).</p>
