The Longest Wait of My Life!!!

<p>I finally submitted my application...what a big relieve...best of luck for those that are doing it on the last day...hope the system doesn't crash on you guy...GOOD LUCK!!!</p>

<p>I started working on my application early October. When October 30th roled around, I said to myself, "I have a month left to work on this." When a whole <em>two days</em> passed, I couldn't wait any longer and I submitted it. I just re-read my application a little while ago and decided I'm satisfied. But still, I feel a little silly that I couldn't just wait in case I thought of something better to put.</p>

<p>Now we have six months...</p>

<p>Damn. Six months....................... I am too impatient to wait all that time.</p>

<p>Are any of you applying outside the UC system if so, where? I will be applying to Ohio State, Texas, and Pittsburgh. Anyone know good schools on the east coast with good poli sci programs?</p>

<p>I'm applying to USC, but I'm considering rolling the dice for Columbia University. For whatever reason, a really high number of people from my CC transfer there. I sometimes think about Stanford, but then I decide I have about a 10-20% chance and decide to save $75. Generally, I'm only interested in California. If I apply outside California, it'll have to be a school better than Berkeley and it'll have to be private (because I'd lose resident preference at a public).</p>

<p>USC & UMICH...my SAT scores are too stinky for others</p>

<p>Communist Smurf, how are your SAT scores?</p>

<p>Omg, I hit send and the receipt came up at either 12:00 or 12:01. The date said 12/01/04 instead of 11/30/04! The website said that all apps have to be in by 11:59pm. They'll still accept it, right?!</p>

<p>I think you are okay bluevartouhi because your application was received by 11:59, just the receipt was not created until 12:00. Besides, you should have received an error, if you submitted your application after the deadline.</p>

<p>Have you heard of anyone getting an error message like that?</p>

<p>Yea. But, I am not sure if it starts exactly at 12:00.</p>

<p>Try to email the Pathways help desk to verify that they will accept your application.</p>

<p>GOOD LUCK!</p>

<p>I didn't take the SAT. I do realize that if I applied to those other schools I would need to, but I think I ultimately won't bother because I'm already happy with where I've applied.</p>

<p>That's cool. I was just asking because you said you were considering Columbia.</p>

<p>how long after submiting my application will i get a notice from the UCs that i applied to?</p>

<p>You're supposed to get something in the mail approximately three weeks after applying. Also, you can log in to... I don't remember the address. Just go to Pathways, click on "After you apply" or something like that, then go from there. It'll tell you things like what you might have fill-out wrong and how to fix it.</p>
