<p>@flowflower I believed my decision came in 4/9 after 5:30pm (there was a scheduled maintenance for the site)</p>
<p>Decision: Accepted!!!</p>
<p>Objective:</p>
<pre><code>UC GPA:3.80
Major Pre-reqs Completed: yes
Intended Major: Political Science
TAG?: no
IGETC?: Math IP
</code></pre>
<p>Subjective:</p>
<pre><code>Extracurriculars (place leadership in parenthesis):
Job/Work Experience: worked the whole time while at cc
Volunteer/Community service: did a little community service w/ my church (soup kitchens, running media, helping around etc), joined AGS right before applying, really not much though!
Personal Statement: Strong. I’m a pretty good writer and my English 3 teacher gave me some pointers before writing it. Wrote about how my parents escaped from civil-war in Central America, about how I am interested in how gov’t policies affect people, etc… And I also wrote that if I was accepted I would bring great honor and stuff to the school… cheesy as hell but I’d say it was pretty damn good lol.

<p>Reflection</p>
<pre><code>Strengths:strong GPA, really strong personal statement, blessed (or luck if you call it that)
Weaknesses: math still IP, I switched majors so I was a bit behind, GPA could be better, almost zip ECs, did horrible in high school though I don’t know if they take that into account… I had a lot of things going against me lol
Why you think you were accepted/waitlisted/rejected: honestly, I thought I was going to get rejected b/c of my math still IP, but thank God I didn’t… I think my relatively high GPA and personal statement helped me get in… And maybe b/c I’m a minority living in the Fresno area, the armpit of CA lol.

<p>General Comments: ahhhh I’m SOOOO happy! this isn’t even my top choice school but it’s nice to be wanted somewhere and I definitely will have a hard time deciding… good luck to all that are still pending. I know how it feels and it blows. I was just checking on my phone lying on my rug bored out of my mind thinking, “God, just reject me already!” and boom, “You’re admitted!” Trust me if I got in, almost anybody can, so have hope and good luck!! :)</p>
