<p>I'm worried I did really bad on the two essays, even though I read through them and they were probably better than my UC app essays. Is anyone else feeling this way? Did anyone feel this way and then get accepted?</p>

<p>The reason I ask is because I thought they'd throw me straight in the rejects pile. 3.93 UC GPA/OOS/2100 SAT in one sitting/okay extracurriculars including summer 2007 job as camp counselor/all right essays about how my dad is a jerk</p>

<p>With the supplemental app, I expanded on my enthusiasm for civil rights, citing my experience as a Gay-Straight Alliance and an ACLU member. On the second essay I talked about how my 10th grade year sucked because a friend stabbed me in the back badly and I found out my dad gambled away my 90,000 dollars for college. Then I talked about how one day I had a realization that letting my grades fall down the toilet (slight exaggeration, they were half B's) was not any sort of solution, blah, blah, blah. People who read them said they were good.</p>

<p>Is this a nervous breakdown? Is anybody else experiencing sick nervousness like this? I guess it's good because apathy shows true depression. aaaaaahhhh</p>

<p>Oh, by the way my first semester grades were:
AP Gov: A
AP French: A
AP Calc BC: B (which irks me to no end because I needed a 79 on the Calc final for an A and got a 78, plus the first 3 mistakes I made were on one of those easy graph things but I read -3 instead of 3)
Sociology: A
AP Physics: A
AP Lit: A</p>

<p>Sorry, my typing isn't too coherent during this nervous fit thing</p>

<p>yeah i filled it out both essays. first one was bout a club i started on campus and second was also about my father (or lack of one for that account). though my senior year grades were.... far less stellar... so im hoping for the best, and dying of anxiety and stress.</p>

<p>I think you're in very good shape so far. Stop being nervous and calm down. Your senior year grades are strong, and will likely only HELP your admissions. For now, just forget about college admissions until they come, and enjoy your senior year before its gone :)</p>

<p>You got a 4.5 WGPA your 7th semester with a very serious courseload. There is virtually no way that it could hurt your application.</p>

<p>You have practically the same stats as me! I'm out of state too, but I didn't recieve the supplement so I think you have a good shot. I wrote crap essays that definately would not have caught their attention like yours did :-P</p>

<p>Your essays on the supp and your grades will help you TONS. Good luck.</p>
