Who got into UC Davis and they think they had low statistics?

Davis isn't tough to get into. If you've got mid 12's and a 3.6 its easy enough. \n\nDavis isn't a bad school though.

I wasn't too big into school.  My Senior year was the pits.  I almost quit 1/2 way through!  So bored!  My friends had all gotten to be really weird.  I was under so much pressure to choose a college and a career.  I just wanted to be done with it!

It looked as if KU just had more desire to win. It is also possible that the Gaters were just too over confident. \nAnother thing to consider it that one team is over-rated and the other under-rated.\nI am also a KU fan, unless they are playing UCLA.

I used to have a school with mostly whites. NOw that im in a .5black/.5white school i have less chances of getting into college because the balcks bring the average down.

NO!  This should be a wake-up call to all kids in college like him.  He thought he was bigger than the world at Virginia Tech....and he didn't even get drafted!  His personality and reputation killed his playing ability status.

I had a 31 on the ACT and got into UC Berkeley, UCLA, UCSD (Revelle) and UCSB (Honors).\n\nSo I'd tell you a 33 will take you wherever you wanna go. \n\nI chose Berkeley. I liked UCLA but hated Westwood. I hated UCSD, especially the Revelle dorms (they put the best students in the worst dorms, wtf?). UCSB was my back up and they threw a lot of money at me (Regents Scholarship and a spot on the Honors track). But my parents didn't want me attending a party school.\n\nSo once you have your score squared away, I'd strongly recommend you go visit the campuses.

They're underachieving.

UCLA by 4. Mephis is over rated!

Pablo,\nHow can you say that the Shockers (Wichita State) are not any good?!  They don't give bad teams an at large bid into the NCAA tourney!!

UC doesn't really like the ACT too much. they'll take a score, but really, most UC applicants offer a SAT score.\n\nI submitted both ACT and SAT scores to the UC system, but you can pick and choose if you like. I did "poorly" in one section on the ACT, but I sent it in anyway. then again, I didn't really put much stock into my ACT score. I had a 31 composite score, but that included a perfect score in science, and a 26 on Reading Comprehension (I have the attention span of a fruit fly).\n\nKeep in mind, UC schools will look at other factors to determine whether your standardized test scores are consistent for evaluating you as an applicant (for example, did you do poorly and get really great scores? or did you score high and get bad grade? or did you do well on both?).\n\nAnyway, UC Davis is still fairly selective. I'd shoot for a 28+ ACT score for that school.

Just to let you know, I am also a high school senior. Well, a couple days ago, I actually went to a meeting at UCSD where this question was addressed,\n\nSo, to answer your question no, you will not have a higher chance of getting into UCSD if you apply under an underrepresented major. When UCSD processes your application, they decide whether you get in. Secondly, they look at your major. Overall, if you get in then you get in. They WILL NOT turn you down just because you have a popular major.

Underrated was definitely G. Mason, no doubt.\n\nOverrated?  How about any team from the Big Ten.  At least Gonzaga made it out of the first weekend.  They were a three seed, they were supposed to lose in the sweet 16, which they did.  Not one team from the Big Ten got to the Sweet 16 even though they supposedly were the top rated conference.  That's overrated.

In science and engineering UCSB gets mentioned the most of those three in my experience, followed by UCI.  Santa Clara University is rarely mentioned amung those I've worked with.

Well, I went into the University of California system, and I got accepted to UC Davis in aeronautical engineering.  I had around a 3.5 GPA.  I also got accepted to UC Santa Cruz and UC Riverside in computer science.\n\nIt's easier to get into a good school by going into a less popular major.  You can try to transfer out of that major later if you really don't like it, but no guarantees.  Computer science was a very popular major when I applied 5 years ago, and aeronautical engineering was not very popular.  I applied to UCLA, UC San Diego, UC Berkeley, but they didn't accept me for computer science.\n\nIt really depends on which major you choose and your grades.  3.0 is probably not good enough to get into a really good schools like MIT, the Ivy League, etc. regardless which major you choose.  \n\nCheck the average GPA that the college accepts.  Kids who get accepted to UCLA have near a 4.0.  UC Merced will take almost anyone since they are the newest school in the UC system.
