<p>^^ mee too!!! especially 2 A+'s for orgo and bio, two important subjects to my major. A in Physics too. I think my midterm grades are pretty impressive.</p>
<p>Do they gauge the difficulty and rigor of the course work? How’d they know if the courses I took/am taking is rigorous, or not?</p>
<p>xhongxkongx: Glad to help haha. Don’t ever doubt yourself, trust me applying can’t hurt, you never know what can happen. I wish you the best in the admissions process!</p>
<p>Yay I submitted mine. Feels like a weight off my shoulders haha. Does anyone know when I get to check if my materials are there or not</p>
<p>yes, they take into consideration your schedule and workload. if you’re taking 12 credits in your breathing major and get a 4.0, that’s not as impressive as a 3.8 in a hard science, for example. </p>
<p>and there’s no harm in applying. always remember me: 2.7 HS –> 3.5 state school (3.49 when i applied!) –> accepted!</p>
<p>@boysdontcry: they will look at the name of the class, like introduction to the biology world is definitely easier than molecular cell bio or evolution & ecology, orgo chem is harder than gen chem…</p>
<p>Good luck Castiel!</p>
<p>And everyone else!</p>
<p>Hmm. But if you’re a freshman/sophomore, won’t you be doing an intro class instead of say a more advanced level course? I’m taking 18 credits though.</p>
<p>And ironically, you’re our motivation!</p>
<p>@ironicallyunsure: how long it took them to process your documents? i submitted everything on 3/5 but nothing is marked off yet, except for the commonapp and the supplemental one.</p>
<p>haha thanks Justone, to you and everyone else as well!</p>
<p>when’s the fin aid app due?</p>
<p>March 15th!</p>
<p>Good luck everyone! We will be holding our breath for a long time…hopefully not too long though.</p>
<p>i didn’t feel like looking through all 49 pages of this thread, so i was wondering if there are a lot of prospective Bio and Society majors herrree?</p>
<p>Trying to gauge the competition ay. HEH</p>
<p>good luck everyone. I’m still wait for the interview then I don’t everything. does anyone know when the adcom would look at our application? Thanks</p>
<p>@phorphorus Yup, one very thrilled one right here.</p>
<p>how many people are applying to CALS, biological sciences???
Right now i know 2: me and Chris. Both are international and both are going cc in CA</p>
<p>^ I would say a lot. Even if not on cc there will be a lot since that is a very popular major.</p>
<p>when i applied for fall, i had everything in the day it was due, so march 15. they didn’t bother updating the online system for us lol but i got a decision back in may (right before one of my finals, i was SO bummed 
) but for spring, i got stuff in the last week of september and mailed last-minute things out on the due date and heard back the week of thanksgiving (while i was visiting, yay)</p>
<p>@Castiel: yeah but in this thread, i think there are few more people.
@ironicallyunsure: thanks!!! looks like my status will not be updated till the decisions are released even though i tried to send everything in one week earlier than the deadline lol. Should i call to make sure they received my documents?</p>
