<p>Personal Statements- I think they were pretty well written- 1st was about my father and his death when I was 11 and how he (and his death) have molded me into becoming independent/motivated. Also mentioned how in high school I had to basically do everything alone when my mother had breast cancer during freshman/soph years and although I struggled at times, I became fully independent during this period. 2nd was about how I developed from a withdrawn freshman into a leader in the community as I joined CIVITAS and completed 250+ hours of community service, 100+ hours in an internship, and set up a program with Fresh Producers to fund local fresh produce for an elementary school in a low income area by setting up sponsors at my high school/community.</p>

<p>I'm pretty sure I wrote a ton, hope a few people can review it! I am not sure if I left anything on that would be relevant to my application.</p>

<p>I think you must be admitted! If not some other good university will take you because you have awesome grades and SATS!</p>

4

<p>Thank you! My grades aren’t great for UCLA though as my UC GPA is right at the average and my UW GPA is a bit below the average. My ECs outside of my volunteering/internship/senior project are pretty weak.</p>

<p>Oh yeah, pretty insignificant, but I forgot to mention I took chemistry between 10th-11th (As both semesters).</p>

5

<p>bump…sigh…</p>

6

<p>Stop being so hard on yourself. Where else have you been accepted ? You’re extremely smart and don’t let anyone tell you otherwise.</p>

7

<p>LOL The sigh wasn’t about being sad about my admissions, it was more about not getting a response (besides yours) haha. No offense, but you seem to be someone applying the same as me and you seem to be telling everyone they will get accepted haha.</p>

<p>I haven’t gotten any decisions yet.</p>

8

<p>Where else did you apply?
LOL not the sigh … but the fact that you’re worried about your grades/ SAT is strange since they do fall into the perfect category for UCLA but w/e hahahha</p>

9

<p>Haha, no I am definitely not worried about my SAT, 2270 is well above their average. Don’t tell me I should start worrying! :O</p>

<p>I’m just a bit worried about GPA (mainly UW) because most people seem to have close to 3.9 or above and mine is like 3.77 or something. </p>

<p>I also applied to Cal, UC Davis, UCSD, USC, Claremont McKenna, and Cornell. How about you?</p>

10

<p>You are going to find out very soon anyway, but you are definitely a match.</p>

11

<p>Yep, probably in 10 days. Thanks for the input.</p>

12

<p>You’re definitely going to get in. I would appeal if you didn’t. Mind chancing me? My stats are much less than yours, so I’m a lot more worried than you should be.</p>

13

<p>Man…I would not be so sure…I’m at best over their averages, but I do not at all think I am definitely going to get in.</p>

<p>Uhh, I can chance you, but I don’t know a ton about how they decide on who to accept (why I posted this thread).</p>

14

<p>Well…I was rejected… I shouldn’t have done a chance thread, it only made me feel like I was going to get in. Oh well…</p>

15

<p>UCLA rejected too. So far rejection from UCSD, UCLA. Waitlisted at UC Davis… Waiting for UC Berkeley. I AM SURE I WILL BE 100% REJECTED. IF ACCEPTED, I MUST BE DREAMING!!! LOL</p>
