[] ECs listed on app: Co-founder and secretary of a club for 3 years; found another club that died; decent volunteer hours around 200 in total.
[] Job/Work Experience: Summer ROP program
[] Essays (subject and responses): I thought they were mediocre. I didn’t let anyone read them so there must have been numerous spelling errors. On top of that, I am pretty sure one of them was offensive to homeless people. I genuinely thought these would be the death of me. The lesson I learned out of this is that one mans garbage maybe another mans treasure. It’s all in the eyes of the beholder folks.

[] Ethnicity: Asian
[li] Gender: M[/li][/ul]General Comments/Congratulations/Venting/Commiserations,etc: This is amazing. I didn’t think I would get in. The feeling when I saw the congratulations banner was indescribable. To put in to words, imagine being constipated for roughly 3 months and 20 days (who’s counting?). Over that period you are picking at everything you could’ve done better. “Maybe I shouldn’t have eaten so many bananas.” “I forgot to take fiberx! Dammit!” Finally, after waiting so long that day comes. The day you waited for with anticipation, yet dreaded at the same time because your intestines would never achieve the same form. You finally have bowel movement. It burns for the first twenty post-bowel minutes, but that euphoric feeling after is priceless. You simply do not care that you just sexually violated a toilet and lost your virginity in the process. This is equivalent to that euphoric feeling. To those who read this in the future, I hope you are fortunate enough to experience that hyperactive stool. #swag #sodmg!

[] Essays (subject and responses): I thought they were terrible. I didn’t have any one read them, and I did them the week before the deadline. My first essay was the classic “parents are immigrants, came to this country with nothing, and worked really hard” story… My second essay was just about how I became interested in Nutrition.

[/ul]General Comments/Congratulations/Venting/Commiserations, etc.: I thought my essays were awful, and since I wrote about wanting to be a dietitian in one of my essays (for which I would need a degree in Nutrition, which LA doesn’t offer…), I thought I’d screwed myself over. My stats are pretty good, but I kept worrying that they weren’t good enough for LA, so overall I was pretty surprised to hear I was accepted! Now to see how Berkeley feels… Congrats to everyone else that got accepted! ^^

Nevertheless, I’m stoked that I got into the University of California’s most selective school! :D
