UC Davis released yesterday. Something seriously wrong!
Asked around my HS, 5 students I know get waitlisted:
CA in state status
GPA: 4.2 - 4.7
SAT: 1520 - 1580
All 5 took at lease 2 SAT ll, and all get perfect 800s
Many APs most in 5s, few 4
Many leaderships (student body leaders, etc , and impressive ECs national competition winners, hundreds hours volunteer services, many awards…
One got UC Berkeley regents, the other Stanford EA.
Looks UCD went extreme on yield protection. My view it’s 100% unethical for denying hard working students rights to choose. Not sure it’s legal?
I posted same stats under usd discussion:
Got some feed back, due to the holistic approach these students just did not standout among the rest applicants. I really do buy in this
Any comments?
