Why apply for the waitlist if UCSD is your dream school?

In any case, this happens. It’s not as if all colleges admit from one master list where the top school makes their pick, then the second school, etc.
Different schools look for different thing, have different criteria, may have differently impacted majors, and there’s some luck involved in the process as well.
