So personally, I've been stressing over college acceptances, and I got my first rejection letter today so Im on this weird emotional trip because I keep thinking every university might think the same way.
So far, I got accepted to UC Riverside and Cal State Long Beach (my back up schools) the top choices im waiting on Cal Poly Pomona UC Davis UC Santa Cruz UC Irvine My DREAM SCHOOLs (I would literally cry(jk) if I got accepted (hoping I am that 1%) UC Berkeley UC Santa Barbara I currently got rejected from San Diego State University (their Business is prestigious and impacted which is probably why I got rejected) stat wise high school GPA : 3.67 weighted Passed AP USH with a 3 EC's: MUN, Key Club, ASB, ITS office positions: Key Club webmaster / Vice President, ASB Secretary, ITS webmaster as you can see, the only thing on my app that makes me confident is my EC section, I dont really have stellar academic records 1. Do you think I have chances to my top choices? (not my DREAM schools) 2. Share some of your acceptances with us! :) |

Local reputation > National reputation unless you're moving. Even if you're Tier 1, if everyone sees UCR as a joke, it's a joke. You're much better off going to well, not UCR. I guess you don't have much of a choice though, probably should have tried to be smarter.

I guess you don't have much of a choice though, probably should have tried to be smarter. Im sorry but you have to be one of the stupider college students I've ever had a conversation with. First off you arent even from California so I dont know why you are even trying to prove of point. Many UC's go through this reputation phase. Even 10 years ago my cousin was accepted to all the UC's but she had to attend UCI because that was the only school who would give her a scholarship which is sad because she graduated as the class Valedictorian. 10 years ago people would cry about having to go to UCI or UCSD because they were a lower ranked UC. Quite frankly in a matter of 10 years UCI / UCSD went from reject school to top UC's. The UC system was designed to make every one of its universities prestigious and UCR will experience that soon. UCR is still one of the newer campuses but its reputation is bound to grow. Maybe I should have tried to be smarter but that goes for everyone and Im not the one complaining about which University I got into so your last statement is pretty weak. In fact you're complaining about the University I got into. |
