[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kid got in. Nova public, 4.2w, 7 APs, no hooks. We were shocked. [/quote]
What were the extra curriculars?[/quote]

Four years/leadership roles in 1 [b]community based and 1 school based EC a[/b]nd earned 3 awards, lots of community service, rec sports, and started working in the summers at 15 years old. Applied into a humanities major.. Assuming that and the geography helped. This whole process has felt insanely random.

This is what helped. Community contributions are big factors in UC acceptances, if you read the UC website it is always the first thing they mention after the GPA[/quote]

I hear you but the same kid was WL at [b]UCSD[/b].

UCSD has very low acceptance rates because of the location; it's ideal and gorgeous.  Kids wanna live there so there are so many applicants.  [b]Also, it was likely clear that you were gonna accept UCLA if offered a UC spot.[/b][/quote]

Are you suggesting that the UC schools compare who they are going to accept? They can't know that someone prefers LA over SD, or Berkeley over LA purely by rankings. For my kid these assumptions would not be true and they wouldn't want UC making that decision for them.[/quote]
