<p>I have yet to see the UCSB campus but have heard good things…ok great things.</p>
<p>It’s funny, I always hear about how pretty the “lesser” UCs are, whereas everyone seems to think that LA and Berkeley are ugly. Is it just a matter of higher expectations?</p>
<p>…
i just found a typo. i’m dead.</p>
<p>^And that’s why you never reread your application once it’s submitted! Better off not knowing!</p>
<p>But regardless, one typo can’t kill you. Holistic review, remember? :D</p>
<p>Let’s hope so. Yeah, lesson learned here is to not go back and read it…</p>
<p>^ You’re not alone. I found a typo too. It was minor but still…</p>
<p>mine is perfect.</p>
<p>Yay for not re-reading and being irrationally optimistic!!1!</p>
<p>I’m kinda scared; if you look at the people on CC, some of us are irrationally smart and have really high grades/ECs; I seriously hope CC is just densely populated with overachievers and the rest of the SCEA applicants aren’t up to this level as well</p>
<p>jony: One typo is not a big deal. It’s not even a deal at all. It’s a typo. The admissions officers aren’t going to care. “Yeah, let’s go ahead and let this kid i- WAIT A MINUTE. Typo. We only admit perfect typists. Burn it.”</p>
<p>Nitro Hawk: You’re awesome. Just wanted to let you know.</p>
<p>Rolandic: We’re a self-selecting pool. In general, those who are obsessed enough to post on a site like this are obsessed enough to make sure they are well-qualified. That’s why our admit rates are WAY above average, and would be even higher if we weren’t such a (mostly) homogeneous population.</p>
<h1>2 school - Brown</h1>
<p>LOL @ NitroHawk. I agree, not even looking at it.</p>
<p>Yeah, Starmie, but don’t you think its kinda sad in a way? I know I’m always intimidated by CCers and I imagine many others are too. Scary.</p>
<p>Yea, I agree. Looking at past results threads and seeing all the great accomplishments people had, but were still rejected, is incredibly humbling/terrifying. Usually, I just pray that they wrote very bad essays or had terrible recs to help justify the decision. </p>
<p>Anyway, I wish all of you the best of luck for all of your colleges.</p>
<p>^^^same. If I cant find an obvious excuse I just pretend they are arrogant d-bags, and that the admissions people classified them as such…</p>
<p>there are quite a few d-bags.</p>
<p>@Starmie I agree w/your statically assessment, the fact that we are posting means something and <3 you too</p>
<p>EDIT: aparently fully typing out d-bag is a ****** worthy word : (</p>
<p>even those who good recs and essays get regretted. meh…</p>
<p>Yeah. It’s pretty random. Which is nice, because it means we don’t have to take it personally if we get rejected.</p>
<p>Did anyone here submit ACT and SATs? </p>
<p>You know how axess tells you if they’ve received “SAT or ACT”? How do we know if they got both?</p>
<p>0.0</p>
<p>^Good question, I was wondering that too. :S</p>
<p>Yeah I sent my Early app about 2-3 weeks ago and according to Axess they have received everything except my ACT scores (and Subject tests too I assume), but I sent those the same day I sent my app. Is it supposed to take that long for them to receive my scores, I sent them online through normal delivery.</p>
<p>woot, everything in according to axess</p>
<p>I hear it takes them forever to process stuff anyway. If in a couple weeks they still don’t have it in, then I would be concerned.</p>
<p>Hi everyone! It’s nice to know that so many other people are freaking out. Everyone else at my school can’t understand why I would do this to myself. Though I did submit everything in September. That was probably the most stressful occasion of my life. Not including the millions of days that I’ve spent waiting for a decision. Still 6 more weeks to go. :(</p>
<p>Anyway, it took them about 3 weeks to process everything of mine, but it’s finally all in!</p>
<p>Good luck everyone.</p>
