Literally seems like I'm the only one who hasn't received an admission decision. I think it has something to do with my low stats. I even called an admissions counselor and he said they simply did not look at it yet. I find that extremely odd and obscure when I observe that EVERY SINGLE PERSON I KNOW has been accepted. I'm guessing that they first admit all the students that are sure to get in and take a more careful look at the people like me...?

here are my stats:
2.5 gpa
1930 sat
610 u.s. history
430 literature

i know they are low and my chances for getting in are slim; but i just want some freaking conclusion? anyone have any idea?

[butterflyeffect]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe they have cycles of admissions decisions so you might get it later.
If it makes you feel any better my stats are not too high either, but I got in so don't give up hope. ^^

i'm sorry but i don't think the UC system takes anyone with less than a 3.0 gpa. that's the minimum.
the only exception is if they accept you to play a sport for them
and um according to how it was when i was in senior year, most of those who waited a long time was rejected
except for my friend who wasn't accepted till like near the end, but she had straight As and got into UCLA ><

would you learn to read instead of beating me over the head with it.

sheesh.

gosh calm down, i wasn't trying to beat you over the head with anything even you yourself said that it might be because of your low stats. i was only giving you the facts. and anyways, how can anyone on here know why it's taking so long? even the school can't give you a good answer. since no one here really knows, i just thought i'd tell you how the admissions process went when i was senior year last year. back last year, many schools, including ucr, uci, and usc gave out letters in waves. but the last wave, those who waited last, was rejection letters.

no need to get all angry. everyone gets rejected somewhere. i was merely trying to tell you my experience of the admissions process last year b/c like i said no one knows really why you haven't received it yet!!!!!

i apologize. i'm just soaked in my own self loathing for probably being rejected to UCR. :\

[LOOOeee]

Rejected by Riverside. Ouch. That hurts.

i haven't been rejected yet. but soon.

at least i know i have a decent sat score.

[Epitaph]

Isn't the minimum GPA 3.0 to be even considered for UC...

[_LOVELY;]

i know someone who had 2.8 gpa and 1250 sat and got rejected but you have a better sat+gpa so you should wait it out.
i know 3.0 is the minimum but i know alot of friends who had under 3.0 and just gave it a shot.
you shouldve received it by now though.. but still wait

[harrypotter123]

wow you people really think i don't know this.

perhaps you could consider i am in a different situation which i am.

sophomore gpa - 1.0
junior year gpa - 3.3

extenuating circumstances ftl?

[Epitaph]

It's not that i didn't think you knew this already, you weren't clear in your original post. I would have considered your situation had you said so earlier.

Go to a community college, you'll do better.

[LOOOeee]

Your score is lower than my lowest SAT score taken when I had the flu. And it still didn't get you into Riverside, don't rationalize.

lawl @ this elitist.

archetypal AP kid who thinks he is high and mighty and uses an academic statistic to pass judgement yet fails to step back and see his own elitist attitude.

[LOOOeee]

Oh, I know I'm an elitist. Only expect and strive for the best. That's how you succeed in life. Don't and end up like you. Have fun in whatever horrible school you end up going to and working dead-end jobs.

*sigh*.

This only solidifies the unfortunate fact that morals get you nowhere in this world.

I would rather stick to my morals and standards than conform into the corrupted outlook life of yours.

And for that fact, I will lead a happier life; even if i do have a lower salary.<3

[LOOOeee]

Says who? I never said I didn't have morals. Wanting to be successful and having morals are not mutually exclusive. Likewise, wanting to be successful and being happy are not mutually exclusive, either. I suggest you get that through your deluded little brain.

And again, stop rationalizing your failure.

Rationalizing my failure?

What provoked you even to go on a rampage of belittling me anyway? If you scroll up, the catalyst was because I said I had a decent SAT score. Pretty ridiculous. The only reason you created this argument was so you could find an excuse to flaunt your amazing academic prowess. In no way did I offend anyone, but you were simply looking to dismiss my pathetic SAT score in which you got better when you had the flu. Congratulations.

The reason you do not have morals is the fact that you refuse to look at my life as a whole but you simply condense and judge by a 4 digit number.

1930 is 90% percentile in the nation which for me is quite an achievement. In comparison to my GPA, it uplifted me quite a bit. Oh I'm sorry, there I go again "rationalizing my failure."

Its hard enough to deal with real life and yet here I go again pulled into some bullcrap of some narrow minded person that is tragically caught up in the numbers and statistics game of life.

I'm not mad; I feel bad.

[LOOOeee]

Never be satisfied with your SAT score unless you get a perfect score. Don't settle.

harrypotter123, dont let your ego get the best of you. if someone comes down on you and acts elistist, let it push you harder. change your attitude and think forward. you shouldn't even be grieving about UC Riverside. If they don't accept you, then so be it. Find another way to your future. No use in crying over spilled milk.

you say it's hard enough dealing with real life. but to tell you the truth, you haven't seen real life yet. if you want to handle life at its worst, you have to be at your best. good luck
