Maybe I should’ve just applied as a Philosophy major and switched majors once I transferred. It’d make the whole decision process a lot less stressful since you guys seem to always get in first. I actually took and got an A in Intro to Logic to satisfy one of my IGETC requirements and it’s the only Phil pre-req listed on Assist.org for my CC. Anyway, once again congratulations you lucky b*****d lol. Seriously though, I’m sure you worked hard as you have a great GPA so kudos to you and good luck wherever you choose to attend.</p>

<p>Tag with Economics and Accounting still pending >.< . I’m going to be ****ting myself everyday until I get this decision.</p>

<p>my friend is a philo major and he did TAG with SB and he’s still pending. his GPA is around a 3.5 tho.</p>

<p>Decision: Accepted</p>

Objective:[ul]
[<em>] UC GPA: i’m not sure. UT Austin says it’s like 3.47, but i think they are counting classes i repeated and got better grades in. i am pretty sure it’s more like 3.6.
[</em>] Major Pre-reqs Completed: most, except for physics and calculus.
[<em>] Intended Major: physics
[</em>] TAG: no
[<em>] IGETC: no
[</em>] Units by the end of Spring (specify Quarter/Semester): semester… probably over 100.
[/ul]Subjective:[ul]
[<em>] Extracurriculars (place leadership in parenthesis): phi theta kappa honor society (officer), nasa aerospace scholars (i don’t think i put that on there though. i don’t remember), astronomy club, math club, physics club.
[</em>] Job/Work Experience: a lot of crappy jobs.
[<em>] Volunteer/Community service: some volunteering at an exotic animal sanctuary, veterans day ceremony, student orientations
[</em>] Personal Statement: personally i think it sucked, but i always think my writing sucks. i don’t even remember what i wrote about.
[/ul]Other[ul]
[<em>] Applied for Financial Aid?: yes
[</em>] State (if domestic applicant): TX, but originally from CA.
[<em>] Country (if international applicant):
[</em>] School Type: community college
[<em>] Ethnicity: caucasian/american indian
[</em>] Gender: female
[<em>] Income Bracket: let’s just say i live solely on financial aid.
[</em>] Hooks (URM, first generation college, research, etc.): maybe first generation college student and that i am a card-carrying member of an indian tribe (thanks, dad!).
[<em>] Attending Transfer Admit Day? (if admitted): maybe
[/ul]Reflection[ul]
[</em>] Strengths: i really don’t know. my GPA isn’t as good as some.
[<em>] Weaknesses: i had quite a few Ws (2 from last semester and all the others were from years ago) and two Fs that i later made into As (didn’t withdraw, just stopped going to class). i have a lot of excess credits because i couldn’t decide on a major.
[</em>] Why you think you were accepted/waitlisted/rejected: probably because ucsb pretty much accepts you if you have a GPA above 3.3.
[/ul]General Comments: good luck everyone!! i still haven’t heard back from ucsc or ucsd. still waiting on ucb and ut austin. none of them have contacted me yet, but ucsb did about a week ago to confirm something on a transcript.</p>

<p>@Fionuhh- that’s just gross</p>

<p>@Jdom & Dilapitadedmind</p>

<p>Seriously man… what the F***!!! </p>

<p>I’m seriously going to die slowly if I have to stay at CC for another year… While my #1 is definitely still UCLA I want SOMEONE before then jeeeeeeeeez :confused: :/</p>

<p>@ThePavin, What is the likelihood of getting rejected at UCSB but still being admitted to LA? I’d laugh and then cry if that happened to me because those are the only two campuses that I’ve applied to.</p>

<p>LOL I DON’T MEAN LITERALLY. I’m just so anxious!! Haha it’s literally killing me.</p>

<p>@dilapidated</p>

<p>LOL you really should have. I love logic classes, esp Symbolic Logic, none of that confusing English to deal with. And thanks, UCSD was my #1 so I already SIRed. I hope to see you there when they accept your TAG and if you pick it over LA/Berkeley.</p>

<p>@TheGiraffe… Always possible all depends on pre-reqs etc… However highly unlikely I’d say for you to get rejected from SB but not LA.
I just want a damn acceptance letter from somewhere; I’ve been stressing over this stupid crap.</p>

<p>Does anyone know if the decision waves came out last year weekly or just randomly?</p>

<p>@fionuhhh So, you believed the best way to describe yourself dying in agony is pooping to death? Interesting.</p>

<p>Decision: Accepted!!
TAG: Yes
Major: English
IGETC: Done by this Spring
GPA: 3.86
Pre-Reqs Completed: By the end of this semester
EC’s: PTK, etc…
Essay: 9/10</p>

<p>@ThePavin Likewise. The uncertainty of whether or not I’ll be going to University this fall is brutal.</p>

<p>Oops just realized I said I missed everything but stats…I meant calc. >.></p>
