<p>I sent in my appeal on 4/15 and I mentioned if I was accepted I would start a club related to my personal statement #1 about dreams and aspirations. Was this a good idea to do?</p>
<p>I do plan on starting a club like this.</p>
<p>I told them Santa Barbara was my dream school. Which it is, but I feel weird saying it.</p>
<p>“Top choice” is a way of saying it without the emotional overtones, but I doubt they’ll ding you for saying ‘dream school’, and I think starting a program/club is nice, I just don’t know how it weighs in what they look at. Appeals are something of a mystery.</p>
