<p>Totally agree with @tealeaves. It has been difficult seeing your numerous desperate posts, especially in the Davis forum. You need a better way of dealing with this than constantly coming here and spamming the forums.</p>
<p>You are so focused on stats that you don’t understand or comprehend that it could be something else in your application that caused the schools to reject you. In one of your posts you even wrote, “I don’t think the problem is my stats.” You are right–it’s not your stats that are the problem. Then what else is it? Each school denied you independently. Why do you think students with lower stats got in and you didn’t?</p>
<p>My guess is that your essays were at least part of the problem, based on the waitlist essay you posted in the Davis forum. You had several grammar errors and used the word “antique” when you meant something else. Your English is probably good for being in the U.S. a short amount of time, but admissions committees don’t like seeing mistakes in essays.</p>
<p>I’m also guessing you probably used the same or similar essays for all your applications, without writing distinctly about each school. In another thread about the waitlist essay, someone said they were writing about how they will add to the Davis community and you responded, “I did not even mention how I can contribute to the UC communities in my application.” This shows your essays were probably short-sighted.</p>
<p>Parents and your fellow students have tried to give you reasons and explanations behind the results you received and you continue to focus on stats, stats, stats. Your inability to see why you got these rejections shows a lack of maturity. You would do well to go to CC where you could grow and understand that this is a life lesson. If you truly want to be a research scientist, nothing will stop you–these rejections, going to CC, going to a school that’s not a UC–nothing will stop you.</p>
