Not sure but the in person interviews went up to the 19th I believe. Did they request a phone interview b/c you're overseas?

Anyone see this rant over the weekend?

[youtube]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Johj5WEYzZo[/youtube]

I can't believe someone like this even got into the school in the first place. I have HS friends who got into an ivy school or Berkeley but not UCLA back in the early 2000s.

I thought the UC schools were mad easy to get into if you were in-state? And the Ivy League is more and more just a sports conference these days. You can not say Harvard/Yale/Princeton is remotely close to Brown/Cornell, even though they are associated.

Lol at the song btw.

The CSU system, the other California state system, is "mad" easy at almost any school except maybe Cal-Poly SLO. Top UC schools are tough to get into even for in state residents. My HS friend who went to Penn got rejected by UCLA, and that ended up being better for him since he ended up in Wharton UG and at a hedge fund. Another friend who was devastated at the time about his UCLA rejection got into Berkeley and ended up in Haas UG. This also worked out better for him because Berkeley's IB (Haas) placement is a lot better than UCLA's (Business econ).

Yeah, I have to second socalmike on this point. Even though an in-state might pose an advantage in getting accepted at the California public university system, for the top UCs, it's still going to be hard for anyone, only because they only take top of the top.

Well, it looks like you're just using anecdotal evidence. If you want some anecdotal evidence, whether high school kids get into the top perceived undergrad schools really just depends on how much their parents push them. Virtually all of my parents' friends/acquaintences' kids got into Ivies or at worst a Johns Hopkins. What do all those kids have in common? Overbearing parents when it comes to education. It's easier to become the "top of the top," as bakfed said, when someone is driving a rocket under your butt and 90% of your competitors, i.e. normal American kids, have parents more concerned if you win your next football game or too busy dropping out (1/4 national HS dropout rate). American kids that actually care about shooting for those top schools have it made when you look at just about every Asian country's education system for instance. I shudder to think what life would have been like if I grew in another country and had to compete to get into the IITs or Tsinghua/Peking/Todai.

I know enough people that went to the UC schools to know it is significantly easier to get into as in-state, and no, you don't have to be necessarily top Ivy material.
