I agree with this guy. I just called and spoke to the lady at UOP. She told me that they had more applicants this year than they had ever had and that they didn't know what to do about interview invites because there are so many above average applicants this year. She also said that I didn't have a snowballs chance in Hell of getting in there, but she was really nice about it.
I think alot of the schools are really behind in looking at applications and that theu are really having to look through LORs to weed out who they want to see and who they don't. Good luck everyone. Here are my stats so that you can see what UOP considers uncompetitive.
Dat 19/19/20
GPA: 3.4 sGPA 3.2
35 hrs. of shadowing
lots of service and lots of extra curicular activities.
She also said that over 300 applicants applied from my college and that they were only going to take the very best of those applicants. Which leads me to believe that even if some one else with worse stats than me applied from another school they might get considered before me.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not bagging on UOP I'm shave my mustache to go there, but that acceptance policy kinda blowz.
