Finished IGETC
Finished all philo courses that were given at my CC but none were at assist.org so I don’t know if Berkeley counted them.

Wrote essays about leadership, volunteering, how I found philosophy in all aspects of life, being small and moving countries. People said my essays were written really well and I spend about 3 months working on them.
I think my GPA was too low so I was kinda already expecting being rejected but still that letter hurt.
I applied to UCLA, UCSB, UCI, and UCR. I didn’t hear anything back from any other schools, so I am slightly anxious now.
Congratulations, I am the same major and GPA 3.87, but I got rejected.

I didn’t think my husband would make it in honestly. Low GPA, only EC was tutoring. Plus, he’s not URM and both his parents have graduate degrees. (I did think he had amazing essays- not because he had any struggles to overcome, but because my husband is an amazing writer…not biased at all :p.) But, I’m happy for him.
Congratulations to everyone.
