<p>I've been reading CC for quite a while, and it would really help if I know my chances of getting in in this 5 month waiting period. I'm so nervous! Thanks guys! </p>
<p>Schools Applied: UCLA, UCD, UCB, UCSD (tag)
GPA: 3.97
Major: Anthropology
Essay: 8/10
EC's: mostly not related to major, but have lots of social service
Other: Have 5 W's and 1 non-transferable NP (I have made up all W's and have received an A) (4 of the W's were from one semester under difficult circumstances to continue--I wrote about this in the third section of the essay) </p>
<p>If you explained the reasons for the W's in your essay you should be OK. You've got a good GPA. If your essays are compelling I would say that you've got a good shot at any one of the schools you've applied to.</p>
<p>The W's aren't really too big a deal. I was probably one of the worst offenders and I was still accepted to the all my UC choices (UCB, UCLA, UCD, UCSC).</p>
<p>closest to home..? thats awful; spread your wings a little. I am currently at UCD, and home is the bay area, and I sometimes wish I had gone a little further... UCLA distance perhaps</p>
