Accepted:
UCSD
UCSB

Waitlisted:
UCLA
Cal Poly SLO
UC Davis

2040 SAT (630 CR, 720 M, 680 W)…2100 superscore
760 Math 2
31 ACT

4.0 Uneweighted GPA, 4.40 Weighted
7 APs/3 Honors

Took every math and science class offered at school including Calc AB

Rank 3/482

Something is fishy. Only about 1% of applicants get waitlisted to schools, what are the odds that I get waitlisted to THREE schools? I was honestly considering Davis and SLO low matches/safeties but I got waitlisted?! How do I get accepted to UCSD but waitlisted to Davis?

BTW I am an engineering applicant (low income)
