3 Rejections, 1 Wait List, then...

<p>ACCEPTED!!!!!!!!!!</p>

<p>I was wait listed at Cal Poly, then over the course of 2 days I was rejected from both UC Davis and UC San Diego. My moral was pretty low. This last Wednesday, I was rejected from USAFA, so I am thinking my chances for USNA are shot as well. Today, 2 days later, I receive a blue leather bound folder with the USNA coat of arms or whatever on it, and I can't believe it! Especially after the USAFA rejection, I thought my 540 CR score had done me in, but i was wrong. </p>

<p>I guess it's yet another story about how grades/scores are not everything. I have a 3.56 UW GPA, 1850/2400, 1230/1600 SAT, but I was a 3 sport athlete and captain of 2 of those sports. I guess my advice I can give now is: Don't count yourself out just because of your gpa/scores alone. Colleges want more well rounded students, and I am so happy to be one right now!!</p>
