the reason you got waitlisted to UC San Diego because they believe you get into a better college and wanted to save that admission space for someone else. I dont know what it’s called but most of the UC’s do that. They waitlist the best of the best kids knowing that they’ll get in into either Berkeley or UCLA 😭
To be honest, if I were trying to get into one of the UC schools, I would prefer to get into Berkeley than UCLA anyway. Although UCLA seems to be rising in the rankings, Berkeley has long been considered the best of the UC schools from my understanding.
She is an intelligent and beautiful young woman. Congratulations and good luck. And by the way, dont go to Berkeley. You are promised housing for only the first year AND there is rampant crime surrounding the campus, wtih a lot of the crime targeting students. Get ready to get your laptop and cell phone stolen.
