-Comments: Please god let me get into Berkeley. I beg you please let me get into Berkeley. And my dear condolences even though they probably don't mean much to everyone that did not get accepted. Honestly regardless of what school you go to you can succeed and complete your goals. Just because you did not get accepted to UCLA does not mean you are not intelligent or an exceptional student. Do not let what university you go to define you, you define that university. Everyone keep there head up it is not the end of the world. And best of luck to everybody.</li>
