<p>where in nj are u from rodney?</p>

23

<p>Congratulations!</p>

<p>I recognized your name, i was like OMG FSHE GOT IN!</p>

24

<p>Everyone who had the "acted upon" updated had not been accepted</p>

25

<p>Thank you so much!!!!</p>

<p>I recognize A LOT of people, we were all freaking out together.
Thank you guys for making me feel included, freaking out together is better than freaking out alone.</p>

<p>Thank you guys so much for talking with me.</p>

26

<p>Summerlovin, are you absolutely sure? A lot of people (socal) didn't even receive anything in the mail.</p>

27

<p>Rodney, I think you're going to be accepted as a Spring applicant...just a feeling.</p>

28

<p>Yeah, everyone I've asked...everyone who was rejected was "acted upon" by this morning</p>

29

<p>And if it makes anyone feel better:</p>

<p>I got rejected from UCLA, UCBerkeley, and UCSD.
I got accepted to UCD, UCI, UCSB, and UCR.</p>

<p>I`ve taken 3 AP tests and got 4's on all of them.

The only thing is, I got only 1 B last semester so my midyear report only had 1 B on it. I`m taking 3 AP classes (AP Calc AB, AP Physics B, and AP Gov. I got the B in AP Physics)</p>

<p>jeter0490: Morris County and it's my d whose waiting but is smartly looking online for prom dresses rather than obsessing on CC...</p>

<p>Chinaski: that would prove to be very interesting if true, since she is already accepted at Newhouse with merit $$$....I wouldn't be against the spring admit, but I think she would not necessarily embrace it.....it would, however, give her alot more time to acclimate to CA move.....</p>

31

<p>my status was changed to has been acted upon
but i didnt get anything in the mail today
and i live in socal</p>

32

<p>I'd love a Spring admit, but it seems like everyone who was acted upon last night has gotten a big fat rejection so far. However, someone who was stuck in status like you received their Spring admissions today. I could be wrong, but it'd be nice to see a fellow NJ native get in, even if it is from north Jersey (USC thinks south Jersey doesn't exist according to the press release lol).</p>

33

<p>What school did they receive Spring admissions from? Did they post or is it someone you know from home? and yes, that press release looked like a real estate listing....when the NYTimes talks about home prices declining, they categorize Northern New Jersey with NY and LI for the stats...so weird!!</p>

34

<p>congrats to you fshe, i'm really excited for you :)</p>

<p>but "oh god no".. i'm really hoping that "acted upon" doesn't mean rejection, because i think i'll break down and cry like a baby if i see the rejection letter T_T</p>

35

<p>Here you go Rodney:</p>

<p>"SaurKrauz" (I stalked the post to see the status) had no status update and received the spring admit today. Sorry I have no other details!</p>

36
