Although I am really happy that I got into LA, I live very close to Davis and it would be really hard for me to turn down that regents scholarship from Davis and go to LA or Cal(if i get in).
Anyone else have the same problem?

UCLA Undergraduate Admission
@tedopotato12
GPA: 3.88
IGETC: Yes
Pre-Req: All that were available at my college
TAP: No
EC: Marketing internship at The Tech Museum of Innovation, PR committee for a nonprofit org, PTK, PR/social media internship for another nonprofit, 200+ hr Community service, Classroom assistant (part time job), PR commissioner in hs
PS: 9.8/10 I really think this is what got me in, I tied everything in my application together and it spoke about fostering engagement in our community.
Yes my gpa is extremely borderline for a comm studies major but it’s because I earned a 3.5 my first quarter and from there on (Winter, Spring, Summer, and Fall), I consistently earned a 4.0. So I could only work to raise it and I took 17 units in Summer and 25 units (6 classes) in Fall to make up for it. I worked really hard, so I hope no one thinks I don’t deserve it
