I got into UC Davis, but just yesterday I got waitlisted at UCI, which surprised me because I thought I had really good stats. Everybody told me that if I went to a CCC and at least worked hard, I would at the very least get into UCI, but it seems like it’s become a lot more competitive.

For reference, I had a 4.0 GPA, was TAP certified for UCI and UCLA, took 6 honors courses, finished my IGETC, and had over 70+ credits. I also had good extracurriculars, including being in student government, holding officer positions in clubs, and having other large-impact extracurriculars.

It seems that even transfering to UCI is now very competitive.
