<p>**Decision Date & Time: 4/20/2012 @ 5:30 PM **</p>
<p>Objective:[ul]
[<em>]UC GPA: 3.8ish – can’t remember the exact number
[</em>] Major Pre-reqs Completed: Still need Linear Algebra, Diffy Q’s, 2 Physics courses, and C++
[<em>] Intended Major: Atmospheric, Oceanic, and Environmental Sciences
[</em>] TAG?: Nope
[<em>] IGETC?: Almost, dropped my Spanish class this semester, so not quite.
[/ul]Subjective:[ul]
Extracurriculars (place leadership in parenthesis): MESA, Photography Club, some political campaign involvement, and lots of ECs from school (cheer, ASB, etc)

[<em>] Volunteer/Community service: none since high school

[/ul]Reflection[ul]

[</em>] Why you think you were accepted/waitlisted/rejected: Honestly, I’m totally shocked. There are so many incredible students who apply. I thought when I dropped Spanish this semester and had to contact UCLA to tell them (and they asked me about a thousand questions) I was a goner for sure. But when you apply, they say they want to hear a compelling story. I am an older college student (24) with a colorful background who dropped out of high school, etc. I can only guess that having such a strong turn around helped me.<br>

<p>[/ul]General Comments:
“The common denominator of success–the secret of every person who has ever been successful–lies in the fact that they formed the habit of doing things that failures don’t like to do. Successful people are influenced by the desire for pleasing results. They have a purpose strong enough to make them form the habit of doing the things they don’t like to do in order to accomplish the purpose they want to accomplish. Failures are influenced by the desire for pleasing methods and are inclined to be satisfied with such results as can be obtained by doing things they like to do.” - Albert E.N. Grey</p>
