Actual Results of a Skeptical UCLA Bruin (HS Class of 2013)

Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>First, I'd like you all to check out my thread that I posted when I was applying for fall of 2013:
<a href="http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1371455-chance-me-for-all-uc-s-i-m-overly-optimistic-p1.html"&gt;http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1371455-chance-me-for-all-uc-s-i-m-overly-optimistic-p1.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>Today, I am a freshman here at the University of California Los Angeles. I was admitted off the waitlist. I was accepted to EVERY school I applied to including all the UC's, CSUSM, and SDSU.</p>

<p>Look through the posts in that thread. People said that I shouldn't even bother applying to certain colleges because I wasn't good enough. One thing I regret about college applications is the fact that I let the people on the College Confidential forum get to me and lower my self worth. They made me feel worthless, like I wouldn't even be accepted to a CSU(if you look through my other threads). I actually went through a period of depression because I didn't think any school would want me and it affected my grades.</p>

<p>But look at me now, a proud Bruin! One thing I have to say to all you college applicants: You guys don't give yourself enough credit for all your hard work. I know because I didn't at first. Please remember that you are a superb student, and do NOT let others define you. This is a lesson learned in time, but you all will understand eventually!</p>

<p>@letspek, that is awesome. What a nice post. The world needs so much more of your light. Really happy to read everything worked out for you! My daughter is on the waitlist for UCLA right now and we are waiting. Yesterday was Decision Day, so hopefully we hear good news soon. She SIR’d to UCSD yesterday, but UCLA is her preference :slight_smile: </p>
