I was so nervous. My counselor ****ed up my applications so I missed Common App, so I only applied to UCSD, UCLA, and Berkeley from OOS (I'll count as in-state since my father moved there last year - I called UC and made sure of it), but I still got into all three, thank god.</p>

I'm low-income, so I don't know if that affected anything. I honestly didn't think I'd get in, and I honestly don't want to go there anymore ever since I found out on Friday that I'm getting a full-ride to UCSD (Funny thing, a week ago I'd be doing somersaults over finding out that I'm accepted since I've been hoping and praying for months, but today I felt NOTHING when I read that I was accepted).</p>
