<p>I would understand rejection from UCLA and UC Berkeley… but from Santa Barbara and Irvine… people with way lower GPA than I do from my school last year and this year have been or were admitted to SB and Irvine.
And my personal statements were definitely one of the better written ones at my school (as told by English teachers). My EC’s are by far better than most students at my schools since I participated National-level (which no one else did), took on several President positions, and have the 5th highest amount of community service.</p>
<p>Now I’m worried that I’m rejected to all 4 of the ones I applied to because of that UC Merced “Count Me In” email. I thought UC Irvine was a safety. Does UC Merced see who have been denied to all the UC’s applied to by one person as of now or not until later after decisions are released?</p>
