<p>wow thats gonna suck waiting for UCLA results.</p>
<p>is Berkeley releasing ALL of them on the 30th?</p>
<p>UCLAri, do you think UCLA can see my application from last year?</p>
<p>They can…but the more important question is whether they’re going to look.</p>
<p>I sincerely doubt they have time to dig out all the old apps and rifle through them for anything.</p>
<p>if cal is done with decisions, why are they making us wait till 4/30?</p>
<p>because theyre cal…they can do whatever they want.</p>
<p>So 2nd time applicants wouldn’t have a disadvantage for UCLA right?</p>
<p>Not at all.</p>
<p>But I would think 2nd time UCLA applicants would be looked on more favorably. That is of course, you fixed the deficiencies you had from the first application.</p>

<p>I certainly hope so. I don’t see how they would reject a 3.451 UC-transferrable GPA with IGETC and TAP, and every single prerequisite, including strongly recommended ones can be rejected. My essays are prime and ECs are abundant. We’ll see how they take this.</p>
<p>I am 3.46 econ IGETC and TAP and I think I have a 10% chance at CAL. I am not even really considering it as an option because I am assuming I will be rejected. BTW, my essays were very average.</p>
<p>A 10% chance? I’d say you have a much better chance than that.</p>
<p>yeah. more like 30~40%.</p>
<p>why do i feel like all of our “predictions” on this board really dont matter lol.</p>
<p>like, if they really do read the essays and look at ec’s and the rest of the app, couldnt someone with a 3.3 gpa get into cal and ucla?</p>
<p>someone with a 3.3 has a good chance at UCLA… if its a non impacted major. right?</p>
<p>thats what I keep telling myself :/</p>
<p>Mine stat is:
Overall CC GPA: 3.62
UC-transferable GPA: don’t remember…probably it’s higher than 3.7</p>
<p>Applied to: </p>
<p>UCD ( CSE major) Accepted
UCSD ( CE Major) pending
UCLA ( CSE major) pending
UCB ( EECS) pending
UCI ( CE major) pending</p>
<p>Do you guys think if I have any chance to get to UCLA or UCSD:(</p>
<p>I’ve been wondering…
A lot of you rate the quality of your essays. What standards do you guys have in mind when you do this?
I get the sense that the UC’s don’t really care about your essays very much except solely as a means to evaluate some of your major extra-curricular activities, or obtain other important information(i.e. obstacles that have been overcome, etc). In other words, I don’t think you get brownie points for a hypercreative essay if it doesn’t plug into the UC adcoms decision calculus easily. Conversely, if you write a super simple essay thats concise and to the point, it will help you. What do you all think, now that you’ve had several months since you wrote your essays?</p>
<p>nuveen -
I agree, I think someone saying they have a “great” essay could be on a complete different scale than someone elses “great” essay. I think the essays are there to help you out if your gpa isnt as good.</p>
<p>yeah I seriously think they don’t read essays when you have high enough gpa… it isn’t economically feasible for them to read all the essays</p>
