The Countdown

<p>@ nicolles: Yeah, Cal is/was my first choice! I’m just sort of heart-broken and worried that since UCLA rejected me…that perhaps Cal will be inclined to as well. </p>

<p>I’m not gonna lie, I love everything about Berkeley, and if I get in, it’s a no-brainer! It’s been my dream school since I was a kid. The rich history, football team, environment, people, academics, and psych/phil department all attract me. I love it. </p>

<p>Perhaps UCLA picked up on that…</p>

<p>@emilsinclair: I’m having the same “UCLA didn’t want me so Berkeley won’t either” anxiety.</p>

<p>Berkeley is my dream school too.</p>

<p>@ wmaverick: I’m with ya all the way. We’ll get through all of this. Tomorrow I’m calling UCLA to find out why I was rejected. I’m hoping it isn’t something that would directly translate over to Berkeley as well.</p>

<p>Are you appealing to UCLA? I want us to both be successful if you are. Seriously I’m in for talking strategy about this. </p>

<p>Yeah, I prefer Berkeley, but I don’t want to be rejected by UCB and then be rushing to finish these things, ya know?</p>

<p>Are ya with me? lol.</p>

<p>@emilsinclair: You’re brave for calling. I am not going to call because I don’t want to freak myself out about Berkeley. If it is something that would be applicable to both schools, I can’t do anything about it now and it’s only going to make the next 8 days even more miserable. </p>

<p>I wish you luck with your appeal, but I am not going to do it myself. I never actually wanted to go to UCLA in the first place. I’ll probably appeal if Berkeley rejects me, though. But hopefully that won’t be necessary for either of us. :)</p>

<p>8 days…to unreal :):(:):(:):D:):):D:)</p>

<p>192 hours!</p>

<p>^I can’t wait</p>

<p>hella longggg, cant believe its still only the beginning of the 8 days…ive already been up like 4 hours and its still not lunch hahahah</p>

<p>8 days is too long! I’m getting more and more bitter by the day…</p>

<p>I almost don’t want the day to come. Ignorance trully is bliss sometimes. After the UCLA disappointment I’m essentially 100% sure Cal will say no, and this one will actually hurt like hell. LA was a whim, I was gonna say no anyway…but Cal…damn, I’m already feeling my hopes and dreams go down the drain…As long as they don’t post anything I can still pretend I might get in…yeah, like I said, ignorance is bliss sometimes.</p>

<p>@ nicolles: Everything you just said is exactly the same as how I feel. I’ll take the ignorance is bliss after UCLA just s*** on me. Berkeley is where it’s at! lol. I’m not sure if I want April 30…or am terrified of April 30…</p>

<p>Most of my friends last year got into one or the other. None got into both. Dont worry! I got rejected from UCLA too, but I also didnt do a few pre-reqs! I think Cal looks more into EC’s anyway. Plus if you did all their pre-reqs and have a good gpa, i think you will be fine!</p>

<p>Tomorrow is one week!!! My plan is super busy weekend then keep myself ULTRA occupied at work all week . . . and the 30th will arrive before I know it, right???
;)</p>

<p>hopefully an upcoming exam and quiz will keep me busy
not to mention…
ugh…freakin’ out already tho.</p>

<p>I should stop reading these posts. Half the time they make my spirit and hopes soar, the other time they remind me to get back to earth. The thing is, I REALLY don’t want to get my hopes up. I really want to think I have zero chance. This way if it goes awry, which lets admit is prolly gonna be the case, all those silly hopes wonderful people like you guys instilled me with won’t crumble. I really want to be negative. I have to. UCLA taught me that. Thing is…hope is DAMN hard to squash…</p>

<p>Does Cal post decisions right at midnight on April 30th or are they up sporadically throughout the day?</p>

<p>at 6 on the 30th I thought…</p>

<p>I’m glad I found this post…found some people who share the same anxiety :)</p>

<p>I’m an adult transfer applicant so no one at my work understands the feeling (oh well, at least of my friends does…) My cousin got admitted to all the UC campuses she applied to BUT Berkeley! That got me worried.</p>

<p>berkeley is random :\ i knew someone that got rejected by davis, sd, and la, but got into berkeley…he ended up appealing davis and getting in and going there though…</p>

<p>tomorrow’s a nice day, so an hour or so early will be okay ;)</p>

<p>7 more days!!! wooooooooot!:):D:):D:):D:):D:):D:):D</p>
