<p>Also, other applicants for spring 2010 or fall 2010 feel free to put your stats down to be chanced if you want</p>

<p>Screw SDSU, you’re better than that.</p>

4

<p>^^^ LOL. I was thinking the same thing. I was reading his/her list, then I was like “wth SDSU?” Caught me by surprise…</p>

5

<p>I got accepted everywhere I applied except SDSU… I dunno what that says… oh schools I got accepted to include UCLA and Cal</p>

6

<p>Haha i am just applying to SDSU as a safety to my safeties lol</p>

<p>in at LA, SD, and SB.
i can’t accurately gauge the shot at Cal, because they rejected me with ~3.5 when i had taken nearly every philosophy course (or its equivalent) at Pierce and SBCC, had what i’m sure were at least above average essays, worked ~25 hr/wk forever, and had just about the steepest upward academic trend i’ve yet seen… i’m so bitter. </p>

<p>as for the privates, i think some of the decision will be based on your high school performance / test scores. not sure though… good luck.</p>

<p>Just a quick question.</p>

<p>Why is Gtown a “huge longshot” but Boston College is not? From a “statistical” standpoint, the admit rate for transfers to BC is WAY lower than Gtown.</p>

<p>I think you’re in at UCSD, UCSB, SDSU
If you write a compelling essay and build a strong app, I’d say your also in at BU, Cal, and UCLA</p>

<p>Your GPA is a tad low in comparison to BC’s and Gtown’s average, (3.8) however, I definitely think it’s worth applying! If you have the SAT scores, good recs, and solid app, then you definitely have a shot! Good luck!</p>

i didnt realize that the acceptance rate is lower at BC and Gtown. I assumed it would be harder to get into Gtown because i normally see it ranked lower than BC in national rankings.</p>

<p>my sat score is pretty low like 1400, what do you think about retaking it?? Has anyone else done this</p>

<p>Why would you want to attend Georgetown or BU when you can attend UCLA at 1/3 the price?</p>

<p>Right now UCLA is my first choice because it is close to home and much cheaper…but my girlfriend is going to BC next year, so i wanted to apply and leave myself the option to potentially go there if we become very serious</p>
