General Comments:
I’m glad I got into a UC, but I hope they give me good aid, since I didn’t qualify for CalGrant. I’m so happy for everyone who got in! :slight_smile: And to all those rejected, don’t worry you’ll get into another school, and it’ll be an even better fit or you than UCSC.</p>

Decent EC’s (varsity sports, jazz band, winter drumline, Mock Trial) and strong essay’s.</p>
