A lot of people are getting LLs and this is my dream school ugh and i have gotten nothing, which is 100% understandable but also still saddening. The girl who got in at my school is a super nice humble person…and our valedictorian.

So far Ive been accepted as a regents scholar at UCI and UCSB, and accepted at UCSD (Not sure if as a Regents; they just called me and didn’t give much info other than that I’m in and should go to a orientation event)

Yes, you have a chance, and the majority of accepted students don’t receive likely letters. The decisions have probably been made already, and there’s nothing you can do to change it, so you shouldn’t worry too much! I would just enjoy senior year and keep college admissions out of mind until they are released. :slight_smile:

Honestly… You probably got in. And if not Columbia, then other elite schools. That early admit to Berkeley wasn’t chance - it’s a sign of good things to come :slight_smile:

Oh I wasn’t admitted to Berkeley (yet…??? #extremelyhopeful) Only SB and I and SD.

Thank you, that’s what I’m doing, going out to more soccer and sports games, hanging with friends more, working out more. :))

Oops, misread. My original opinion still stands, though.
