<p>So many chances posts...just getting fidgety waiting for decisions</p>
<p>area studies (Middle East)</p>
<p>1st year - studies abroad in ME
this year - in CCC</p>
<p>total GPA - 3.4
upward trend (4.0 in 15 units last semester and another A to report after 8-week class this semester)</p>
<p>great essays, ec's, etc...</p>
<p>really hoping for Cal, though realizing it's a long shot.
also applied to UCSD, UCSB, UCD, and UCLA </p>
