Tons of volunteer stuff–mostly community service
English Major.</p>
<p>Daughter has SIRed to UCSB and loves their English Department. She is torn b/c she loves UCSD’s campus and it is considered a “better school” but maybe not for English since UCSD does not have an “English Department.”</p>
<p>English Majors: Where would you go UCSB or UCSD?</p>
<p>@clamfest I doubt it, I have a high GPA and I have not been accepted off the wait-list (yet, hopefully)</p>
<p>Oh ok. I hope at least all the people who got rejected everywhere else can get in off the wait list… D:</p>
<p>I wonder if it will tell you if you dont get in off the wl…</p>
<p>^I called a while back and they said you will be notified if you aren’t accepted of the waitlist.</p>
<p>Decision: Accepted (off the waitlist, 5/23/12)</p>
<p>Objective:[ul]
[<em>] UC GPA: 3.97 at my CC, around 2.0 from the 4-year I attended first
[</em>] Major Pre-reqs Completed: All (7/7)
[<em>] Intended Major: Math/Econ Joint Major
[</em>] TAG?: No
[<em>] IGETC?: Yes
[/ul]Subjective:[ul]
[</em>] Extracurriculars (place leadership in parenthesis): None
[<em>] Job/Work Experience: Always had a part time job, this year I tutored on the side as well
[</em>] Volunteer/Community service: While living in Israel I did 8 months of full-time volunteering on a sustainable community, and 2 months of full-time volunteering on an organic farm. In the US I volunteered at an arboretum 20 hrs. per week for half a year.
[<em>] Personal Statement: Well, I think they kicked ass. My journey is kind of unique: dropped out of CC and moved to Israel to be with my boyfriend at the time, he abandoned me, I stayed and lived there and made it work for 2 years before coming back to finish school. I think that it’s a pretty compelling story and that I told it well.
[/ul]Other[ul]

[<em>] School Type: CC, but went to a four year initially

[</em>] Attending Transfer Admit Day? (if admitted): Didn’t attend
[/ul]Reflection[ul]
[<em>] Strengths: My story/personal statements, great CC GPA, lots of volunteer work
[</em>] Weaknesses: Really awful grades from the 4 year I attended right out of high school. Not sure how many of those units were even transferable, though.
[li] Why you think you were accepted/waitlisted/rejected: Probably the crappy 4-year GPA[/li][/ul]General Comments: I’m pretty sure the reason I was admitted off the waitlist before anyone else was because I talked to the UCSD transfer rep at my school, who was astounded that I had been waitlisted and said she would put in a good word for me. The next day I had been accepted! It’s all about making those connections.</p>
<p>Can’t wait to meet all of you in the fall! I’m bummed that I couldn’t attend Admit Day. We should have our own Waitlist Admit Day on campus where we all meet up and wander around together. Haha.</p>
<p>@nitole congrats !</p>
<p>Still nothing =/</p>
<p>I wonder if it will be like the admissions where the people who are accepted know first and all the rejected people find out last D:</p>
