General Comments: I wasn't fully expecting an acceptance, yet I wasn't braced for rejection. I've done a lot of community service and I really thought my upward trend would help (started off horribly with 2.8-3.5 numbers, eventually stopped being lazy and got consistent 4.6-4.8), guess not.</p>
<p>I'm not as bitter as others, particularly because my GPA was on the lower end. I can't help but feel extremely disappointed, though. I'll probably end up transferring in a year. Well, I'm done with CC for a while, it has been a fun couple of months analyzing status changes and uplifting others with you guys!</p>
<p>Geez SE440, those are pretty good stats, and sobering that you were rejected. Not looking good for my son with lower GPA (3.5 UW, with also positive trend), but higher SAT's (2240). </p>
<p>You'd think that low Freshman GPA would be discounted, but noooooo....</p>
<p>Thanks for posting this, being forewarned helps cushion whats coming down tomorrow.</p>

I am leaning towards UCLA right now but Cal might give me scholarships and seem to be really, really interested in me (calling me, inviting me to apply to Cal scholarships, etc.) If I do choose UCLA: You can't spell SUCK without USC! <3</p>
