[] Strengths: Outside commitments,
[] Weaknesses: GPA.
[li] Why you think you were accepted/wait listed/denied: I think it was a balance of my scores and my essay. While my stats are nothing spectacular, I think my essay and ECs balanced everything out just right.[/li][/ul]Other Factors: My incredible beauty and irresitable charm perhaps? ;)
General Comments/Congratulations/Venting/Commiserations,etc: This is the 3rd UC I've been accepted to (others being SB and Davis), and I'm pretty happy at being admitted! To those who haven't heard back yet, definately do not lose hope. Yay! :D
