Reflection:[list][li] Strengths: With my lack of a high GPA or test score, I swear my portfolio must've gotten me in.[/li]Weaknesses: GPA
Why you think you were accepted/waitlisted/rejected: Portfolio</p>
<p>I guess, applying to the Design | Media Arts major gave me a major leniency in my GPA and SATs.</p>
<p>A lot of my friends who were way more qualified academically were rejected which makes me sad. Especially since I intend on enrolling to Art Center instead of UCLA. I wish I could give people my acceptance.</p>
<p>It was really competitive this year.</p>
