<p>ah feels so good…come on ucsc,ucd,ucsb!!</p>
<p>Omg Im So Scared</p>
<p>Im Submitting Tomorrow And I Dunno When</p>
<p>Im So Nervousssss</p>
<p>Hope The System Will Be Okay</p>
<p>Yes yes yall i turned in my app and I am relieved. Cal, Davis, Irvine, and Riverside.</p>
<p>What sucks is that the nauseating feeling of actually doing the application is starting to get replaced by a new nervousness. Regardless, I am currently more relieved than nervous and want to keep it that way.</p>
<p>Oh how long will it take for the UC’s respective “My UC____ Account” to update their account id’s. I tried to put my ID from the receipt on and it didn’t work yet.</p>
<p>TURNED IN MY APPLICATION. UCB, UCLA, UCSB, UCSD. Now I have to forget about it, until I have to update them! – thats the hard part.</p>
<p>I still haven’t submitted yet. I plan on doing so tomorrow morning.</p>
<p>I still wanted to say something in this thread though.</p>
<p>I’ve seen this thread quite a few times over the last few days. I kept wondering to myself “why does everyone keep saying they’re nervous, when I’m not at all?”</p>
<p>It finally dawned on me.</p>
<p>In the last two months, I met practically every single UC Berkeley admissions officer and even the head of admissions while at an event. I met with a UCLA admissions officer. And then I met ANOTHER UC Berkeley admissions officer who came to my school.</p>
<p>It didn’t take long to dawn on me that every one of these people was a normal, kind, modest, very reasonable person. I’m sure they all have nice families and like a lot of the same things you and I do. </p>
<p>They’re not elitist, snooty, high and mighty people sitting in some giant ivory tower wielding a big heavy stamp and laughing like maniacs while stamping “DENIED!” on your applications.</p>
<p>They were white, black, Mexican, Asian…they could have been any one of our aunts or uncles.</p>
<p>So, relax everyone. It’s gonna work out fine. We’ve all put in hard work and it will pay off.</p>
<p>Anyway, sorry about my rant. I’ve been on the “higher education” page over at yahoo answers a lot lately and have lost my mind from reading all the “how much should I write for essay #3?” and “will this hurt my chances?” and “is 1,200 words total too much?” and “should I lie about my age because I’m 25 and think if I were 23 I’d have better chances” (yeah, like UC discriminates based on age).</p>
<p>So anyway, I came here to tell people to relax but in the process got myself worked up. </p>
<p>GOOD LUCK EVERYONE!!! :)</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I loled.</p>
<p>And in regards to your point, I agree. Though, I think, and I know for myself, that the application process is an extraordinarily pivotal point in the direction of one’s life, and it is only natural to hold an otherwise unfounded nausea toward the process. I get the same feeling, to a lesser degree of course, when I am about to receive back a midterm, even though I know I scored nearly 100%.</p>
<p>I am sure we can all reasonably agree that most of our fears of rejection are irrational and somewhat without base --it’s just too bad I keep having to remind myself of this.</p>
<p>Words cannot express how good it feels to have sent it in</p>
<p>Well if you aren’t going to be using those words, cowbell, they could go to good use in my essays.</p>
<p>244 words so far! Oh yeah! Dig it! Woo!</p>
<p>Just submitted my application to UCLA, Berkeley, and Davis! </p>
<p>(:</p>
<p>It seems like most of the ppl apply to UCLA and Berkeley!</p>
<p>y not – only two more clicks for the $120 lotto ticket :)</p>
<p>good chances for most ppl too</p>
<p>just submitted mine </p>
<p>applied to berkeley, ucla, ucsd, and davis</p>
<p>feels so good</p>
<p>you should feel good becuz today is the last day!</p>
<p>YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSS!!! Just submited my application it on a beautiful Nov 30, 2007 at 3:35am. I am crossing my fingers for Berkeley, UCLA, UCSD, UCI, UCSB, and UCD. Well the best of luck to everybody on their admissions and congrats on getting through that grueling application process.</p>
<p>hahaha ‘guts & glory’…</p>
<p>I applied last year and my application showed as ‘submitted’ at 12:01am on December 1st. I had no idea what would happen since it wasn’t stamped November 30th and there was no official notice of a deadline extension. it went through!</p>
<p>But trust me my fellow classmates, when I say… there is nothing glorious about that. All I got was an acute bout of nausea for about 2 weeks. followed by the feeling of impending doom. try going through finals, xmas or whatever other holiday with your mind shifting to that place of “will I or won’t I ??” bleh. I shudder remember last year. hahaha… which is WHY I will be clicking the submit button at 10pm :D</p>
<p>and I second the whole not being able to write if not under pressure. I know it’s a habit I need to shake. FAST. I totally regret making myself go through all of that crap last year but I cranked out my personal statement and it was actually a good piece of work. In retrospect, I am not proud of waiting until the 11th hour (LITERALLY) to write. Good luck every one!!</p>
<p>does anyone know if what officespace mentioned is actually a possible solution to someone who needs to sbumit a different essay to a certain school? creating a different username?</p>
<p>LAST DAY TO SUBMIT… aaaaah. Well I already have, but I’m still nervous about the finality of it all. AND, geesh, I only need to get into the one school I applied to so, fingers crossed!</p>
<p>Same here, I’m just too nervous. I still haven’t finished due to procrastination. Wait, why am I on CC? I should get back to work!</p>
<p>Just submitted it!!! Wooooooo!!!</p>
<p>Just had my essay reviewed at the transfer center. I have to revise a paragraph and cut it down … it’s 1069 words right now, ack.</p>
<p>almost there!</p>
<p>Submitted mine at 2:39am this morning! Now i just need to hold onto a good academic record for this quarter and I’ll be all done! Good luck everyone.</p>
