supplemented to Cal, UCLA, and UCSD

<p>I recently received a borderline supplement from Cal, LA, and SD. This caught me by surprise because even though i applied, i figured them all a reach schools at best. My uc Gpa is low which is why i thought i had no chance at any of the top California Schools. Up until I received my first supplement, my top choice was UCSB. Now that ive received all of these supplements, im unsure of what to think. Please help! </p>

<p>If you are interested in these schools, then fill out the supplement. They obviously want to hear more about you.</p>
