<p>Wow guys, I've been thinking of some AMAZING things that I could have put into my essay. Why am I still thinking about this? haha dangit!</p>
<p>I mean, I had a good essay. But the things that I've thought about NOW...AFTER the deadline would have made it amazing!</p>
<p>So ya, just wondering if anyone else has had P.A.S.R. (Post-Application-Submission-Regret)</p>
<p>^^^^^^^^ YES!</p>
<p>I was asked to be a reader in a few classes, after I submitted my essay, which would have gone down nice in an essay. I also remembered a few things I could have quoted professors saying about me. </p>
<p>My first essay was perfect, but my second essay could have used another paragraph pulling everything together.</p>
<p>I dont even remember what my essays were about…nor do i care haha</p>
<p>DGAF at this point in time…</p>
<p>as of now all i care about is getting admitted and finishing spring at my CCC.</p>
<p>im only comforted by this, posted on Cal’s FAQ:
Q:I noticed that my application/personal statement(s) has several typos and grammatical errors—Is there any way that I can correct these errors?
A: Out of fairness to all applicants, only changes in critical information (new school, new address, curriculum changes) may be made to UC application data. Please remember that, typically, minor grammatical or spelling errors will not change the final admissions outcome.

<p>i thought of something new for my second essay…unfortunately it was one day before the app was due so i didn’t think i’d have enough time to fully develop it (didn’t want to take the chance that they would push back the deadline), but oh well, i don’t care too much since i can always wait another year if i don’t get in now :]</p>
<p>@jane - that is some comfort there! I like it! lol</p>
<p>OMG YES!</p>
<p>My 2nd prompt, I wrote about how I always wanted to try cheerleading in high school but never tryed out for whatever reasons. And being in a community college gave me a chance to try out, which I did twice, and didn’t make it the first time but did after the 2nd, and how that taught me perseverance and persistence…</p>
<p>I wish I had wrote about my high school drama with friends, how I struggled with it and how I learned to control my emotions better (like for example, when I threw coffee at a guy I was ****ed at during my junior year)…and how I overcame losing friendships by meeting most of my friends at my community college and learning to appreciate the friendships I have dearly…</p>
<p>@lomkh I applied to UC Davis the night before it was due. It took me a few days to write the essays. I now realize that I had more experiences to write about for the 2nd essay than I thought.</p>
<p>I don’t even remember what I wrote in my essay. I was just happy to finish it…</p>
