<p>Hello guys,
I am new to college Confidential and I need some help with this:</p>
<p>So I recently got waitlisted for UC Davis. I was somewhat disappointed, hearing that some other students were accepted, but I have come to realize that I am pretty fortunate considering I was denied from UCI and UCSB and my stats arent all that impressive: 3.77 UC GPA, 1790 SAT. I could have easily been rejected by this school, but I wasn't.</p>
<p>Anyway, I have decided that UC Davis is my top choice since getting rejected from UCI. I have heard good things from people who attended/are currently attending the school and I am looking for some tips to really increase my chances of getting in. To get on the waitlist, I have to write a 200 word essay on why I want to go to UC Davis. Any ideas of what I should include in the essay??</p>
<p>Also I am planning on traveling to the school and touring the campus over spring break. Would that be an ideal thing to note in the essay?? Besides the essay, could I try to conduct an interview with a faculty member or someone during the visit?? </p>
<p>Any ideas or suggestions are greatly appreciated
Thanks!</p>
