<p>yeah looking at the thread, it does seem like ucsd is kinda weird in terms of admission this year. But i really do not believe they would reject you on the strict basis that you are overqualified or would most likely attend elsewhere. if they WANT you, they WILL admit you, even if you are “overqualified”…hence the regents scholarships, Jacobs scholarship (full ride), or any kind of money incentives.</p>
<p>There are cases like these at sd, some of my friends who are undoubtedly bright are here b/c of the money they were given. and belive me, some of those few are WAY OVERQUALIFIED…as in…this guy got into Princeton, Stanford, MIT but was offered a full ride to ucsd. he took the money. He is not poor, but from a middle class family</p>
<p>Goin with the argument of rejecting well qualified kids, ucsd could have rejected him cus he was “too good” for ucsd, but they gave him the moohlah and so he is here now. they might reject some ppl b/c they are too good, but im sure they dont always…cus then what is the scholarship money for? fi they only admit ppl who will most likely attend, there will be no need for scholarships to persuade them to attend right?</p>
