I would say my recs were pretty good because I have a great relationship with both teachers and my badminton coach named me team captain.
I write for a magazine and have had all my essays proofread a thousand times, so I’d say they’re pretty good.
UCLA/UCB: High Match-Low Reach:: definitely qualified and competitive but with a below 20% acceptance rate and the huge # of applicants, you can never count on these two schools.
UCSB: Match
Do you have any safety schools on your list and are you a CA resident?
I’m not a CA resident, but I will be in March when I move. These are only a fraction of the countless schools I’m applying to. I have already been accepted into UIUC and UMich.
You do understand that you have to be a resident for 366 days prior to starting a UC before you are considered for in-state tuition? Are you moving with your parents?
Ok, just checking since many applicants think they can get in-state tuition and residency after 1 year attending these schools. Best of luck with your applications.
