[li]Advice?Commiserations? Feel like bragging?:[/ul] [/li]I seriously can’t believe I got into Berkeley… I got rejected from both UCLA and UC Irvine… I was expecting to see the “We regret to inform you…” but it wasn’t…!! My stats, obviously are not stellar, and it’s been killing me. However, I’ve had very unique circumstances because I moved very frequently (3 countries and 9 different schools) and I think I showed in my essays how I coped with this to grow instead of whining about it. Those of you who are worrying that you don’t have good stats… have hope! It’s the personality that really matters!!woott</p>
