<p>Is UCLA a better school than Cornell? Because I was accepted to Cornell and waitlisted at UCLA. Confused. Enlighten me please.</p>
<p>They have different ways of evaluating applications. Simple as that.</p>
<p>I guess. It still is odd.</p>
<p>There are certain things in your application that cornell asked for but UCLA doesn’t…as their applications are totally different. Also Cornell asks for recommendations but UCLA doesn’t. It depends on your race, economic state, and the selectivity of the program to which you are applying. Congrats on Cornell!</p>
