<p>Anyone here get into cal while missing prereqs(that were offered at your school). I only had 4/6 done for psych with around a 3.88 and I was just wondering if that was why I was rejected. Is berk as strict on pre-reqs as ucla? Even though I’ve been planning on going to ucla all along I still wanted to get accepted into berkley just to say I got accepted and I hope the reason was pre-reqs, otherwise that would mean my essays probably sucked.</p>
<p>does anyone know when will ucla give out their remaining decisions? i still haven’t gotten my decision yet even though I’m in TAP.</p>
<p>keerey, I got into Cal and was missing a Shakespeare class for my major that was offered at my school. I didn’t take it because I was following the UCLA major pre-reqs and didn’t even bother to look at Cal’s. I did take other English courses that weren’t required for Cal, though. I don’t think your essays sucked if UCLA accepted you, I just think admissions have a lot to do with luck. I’m not saying they’d accept someone with a GPA of 2.0, but people with a 4.0 and tons of ECs and what not get rejected often enough. Besides, you got into UCLA, which is where you wanted to go anyway (and that’s where I’ll probably go too).</p>
<p>Yeah I was missing 2 pre reqs, Geology and Materials Science. But I included an explanation for that, such as finishing series and things of that nature. </p>
<p>I got in 3.8 GPA
Industrial Engineering
Good Essays
Good EC’s</p>
<p>Id think about appealing if you didnt get in with that kind of GPA.</p>
<p>haha
I am in.</p>
<p>got into CAL</p>
<p>but i already accepted UCLA :D</p>
<p>thanks for the responses and you’re right I should be happy I got accepted at ucla. Its kind of good that I didn’t get in anyway because there was 0 percent chance i was going and I would have taken the spot of someone who really wanted to go. I’m just wondering but does anyone think that cal took a look at my courses and saw that I was pretty much aiming at ucla and decided they didn’t want me to take up space. I highly doubt this was the reason I got rejected but anyone else think ucla and cal work together a little bit?</p>
<p>heavymetal, i’m 21.</p>
<p>I’m not sure if they work together, though I doubt it because I got accepted to both (as did others). Plus, the reason I didn’t complete one Cal major pre-req was because I was following UCLA’s major pre-reqs, so if they could tell you were aiming for UCLA by looking at your courses, then they could tell the same thing about me.</p>
<p>Just got my big envelope from UCLA. They gave me a bumber sticker! I feel so welcomed! :)</p>
<p>I don’t even know the website to check for my CAL rejection.</p>
<p>mellowcrazy, now are you gonna be a tratior and go to Cal?</p>
<p>GO BRUINS!!!</p>
<p>I got into UCSD, UCLA, UCD, UCI but not UCB (3.7GPA) 
I guess that EECS is just too competitive :(</p>
<p>Ucla Accepted
Berkeley Rejected</p>
<p>3.46 Bizecon</p>
<p>Socal Here I Come</p>
<p>so I guess we were right about the housing app/cal net id right? No time to view thread but I got accepted.</p>
<p>GO UCLA!!!</p>
<p>I guess now that the anxiety is gone noone will post.</p>
<p>Man, I’m so ****ed about this :(. Going to start working on my appeal tomorrow.</p>
<p>Might try calling them tomorrow and asking what the deal is.</p>
<p>politrix,</p>
<p>What’s your GPA? I guess for Econ you need at least >3.8 to Cal</p>
<p>just found out about this site. have monitored this thread throughout the day and finally decided to hop on.</p>
<p>don’t feel to bad politrix. i’m equally sickened by seeing lesser students with weaker gpa’s and credentials being admitted to berkeley over students like us.</p>
<p>stats:
HS: 4.6 gpa until expelled prior to senior year for disciplinary reasons</p>
<p>CCC: 3.92 GPA with IGETC completed (ECON major). Apparently mathematics doesn’t matter to UC Berkeley (A in calc 1, B in calc 2, A in Linear Algebra, Calc 3 and Differential Equations in progress).</p>
<p>Accepted: UC Davis, and Michigan Ann Arbor
Rejected: Rice and UC Berkeley</p>
<p>Like I mentioned before 3.79. Got A’s in Calc 1, Calc 2, and macro as well. Taking micro this semester. My only B and C were first semester. Got 4.0’s 2nd and 3rd semester.</p>
<p>^^^
At least you got into Ann Arbor. I guess I should have applied to more schools. I was so certain I’d get into either Berkeley or UCLA though.</p>
<p>wow…i almost feel bad that i got accepted…3.4 from UCD and all pre-reqs done…and A LOT of work/research/internships…maybe they were looking for more depth than just numbers</p>
