<p>I have been waitlisted for my first choice cluster at UCSD (2: Engineering Design & Control of Kinetic Sculptures). Do you know what I should do? Is there a way to strengthen my chances. Any help appreciated. Thanks! and congrats to all who got in!</p>

<p>Congrats to all the acceptees!</p>

<p>And to those who weren’t/waitlisted, you guys are amazing. I hope to meet some of you someday (vivng6991: Yale, okay?!). :]</p>

<p>@dragonslayerx I’m a freshman and got accepted to UCD biomed</p>

<p>Could the people who got accepted post their key stats? It will be helpful to the future applicants.</p>

<p>@missiris You’re so sweet! </p>

<p>honestly I really wanted to go to be able to meet some of you or people like you… you all seem so amazing! </p>

<p>Ah, well. There’s always next year! (For me anyway. Freshmannnnnnn.)</p>

<p>should we call admissions if we’re waitlisted to see how far down we are on list?</p>

<p>For me, I just told them “I got rejected from my first choice cluster and did not even get waitlisted anywhere, so I will waste my summer studying for SATs because none of my backup summer programs worked out either.” yep…that’s what I said to them. prepare for the effects.</p>

<p>Other than that, congratulations to everyone who got accepted! :)</p>

<p>Junior with 3.8 UW GPA, recs from AP Calc and AP physics teachers, involved in JDRF (diabetes org, my sister has type 1 diabetes). Essays were good, had AP Lang teacher look over them</p>

<p>Sent from my ThunderBolt using CC</p>

<p>Sophomore with 4.0 UW GPA, recs from Honors Chem and Honors Alg2 teachers, not in ANY science or math ECs (just show them that you’re doing something meaningful and you’ll be okay, no need to have a bunch of science and math ECs although that would be preferred LOL). I listed Best Buddies, piano, Speech and Debate, and NJROTC as my ECs. Essays were honestly not that great stylistically, but I really tried to genuinely express my personality and who I was as a human being, as well as stating why I was interested in COSMOS. :]</p>

<p>Accepted to UCD Cluster 8, Chemistry of Life!</p>

<p>Oh well… I’m a freshman rejected by UCD biomed…</p>

<p>And I thought I had a strong AP:</p>

<p>All honors classes
8 AIME, missed jmo by 1 problem
Physics Olympiad semifinalist
4.0</p>

<p>Dude seriously, I don’t believe this but I’m amazed at it as well. My friend that applied to UCI got accepted with a GPA of 3.0 and didn’t have anything really good to put for extracurricular activities. Yet all my other friends and even me that have a way higher GPA and good extracurricular activities than my friend got rejected. I am just sad, really sad. It’s impossible!</p>
