<p>I know a guy who got into Oxford, but was rejected from his local community college</p>
<p>No need to mock.</p>
<p>haha, you’re right</p>
<p>wow, do you always have some kind of ridiculous joke or actually have valid responses once in awhile?</p>
<p>If i committed to the latter, would i be cooler in your eyes?</p>
<p>E^2, you lighten up the mood…! And you are usually quite good at it. I just hate when you try too hard =P. But, honestly, you’re cool as you are.</p>
<p>haha, why thank you</p>
<p>Zoltar knows!</p>
<p>neobonzi: Just don’t provoke him. He’ll spam every thread on the board, but if no one responded, there’d only be half the spam.</p>
<p>neobonzi: i got rejected by UCLA but still got into WashU, so dont worry too much, UCs are picky.</p>
<p>You should listen to neverborn, neobonzi…He has been in your shoes (of disliking me) many times before. He has ignoring me down to an art.</p>
<p>I was rejected from UCLA too. “sigh”, but i did get into ucsb. *yay"</p>
<p>ob la dee ob la da life goes on</p>
<p>UCLA wasn’t really that hard to get into</p>
<p>i bet that makes you feel real good about yourself, eh? deviouspisces, eh…</p>
<p>i only meant that I know a lot of people who got in this year who didn’t really have great stats</p>
<p>Your GPA is what kills your chance for UCSD whose admission is based on a formula that weights GPA very heavily (much more so than standardized tests); they also don’t really care much about your ECs/essay. Bottom line is if you have high GPA and high test scores, UCSD would be a lot easier to get in than UChicago; but if you have a relatively low GPA because of a bad sophomore year but strong ECs/essay/recommediation, you may have a better chance at UChicago.</p>
<p>Has anyone noticed that he’s Mexican? This will give him a big boost at UChicago. You have to remember that the UC’s don’t use Affirmative Action, so his resume at UChicago is much stronger than at UCSD, meaning that there’s still a chance.</p>
