<p>awww you guys are great. haha
rc251, my UC gpa is 4.31 (i think. once i get my transcript i’ll see if i missed anything).
that is SUCH a relief that UCs only consider soph/jun grades!
alexandrafitzmor, tons of schools have accompanying hospitals (and, by proxy, unfortunate associations). princeton is an incredible school with a beautiful campus (as if i needed to even say that), don’t let my experiences put you off! 
harvard1009, i really appreciate you saying that. i often think of adcoms as stoic admit-bots. it’s nice to hear that that’s not (always) the case! haha</p>
