The rest were pretty standard and average classes. I also took three years of a language and have 5 years of math done.
I honestly was not expecting to get accepted and applied because it was an easy application and good state school. I got into slo but rejected from CSULB and Ohio State. I think I got in mainly because I took a lot of college classes. I also get the impression it was either easier to get in this year or not many applied. Anyways congrats to anyone else who was accepted and good luck to anyone waiting to hear back!
