<p>I am not in the dark; you are. </p>
<p>Its extremely obvious that the university system will not reject * taxpayers* with a 4.0 from a community college (those who receive the most priority), unless, as i previously stated, the prereqs are not completed.</p>
<p>There are no “inferences” that lead me, or anyone, to believe that someone with a 4.0 will get rejected based on chance. Please do us all a favor, and find that “inference”.</p>
<p>IMHO as a transfer from a CC to UCB with a 4.0–strong applicant but not a guarantee of admissions. My understanding is that there is a limited number of slots available, and as you know UCB and UCLA are the top tier for the UC system. You have worked hard, and deserve consideration, but I encourage you to include one of the other UCs to be on the safe side.</p>
<p>inferences as in people like yourself who’ve gone through the application process and think they’re experts just because they know of a few people who fit a description. you guys are drawing up conclusions based on a small sample of friends and word of mouth.</p>
<p>you do not work for uc berkeley’s admission, therefore you can only assume that admissions is reflective of your experience.</p>
<p>i know someone with a 4.0 who got rejected for polisci at Cal, now who’s right?</p>
<p>NONE OF US ARE. Everyone is guessing based on experience/observation, not any facts.</p>
<p>as lost said, the UCs are not harvard or stanford. I mean, they are great schools, but they draw the line as to who they MUST accept (Community college students since it is mandatory to cater to california taxpayers). Let alone, a 4.0 student coming from a community college.</p>
<p>I may not work in admissions, but i surely know what i am talking about.</p>
