if anyone has any advice for successfully getting off the waitlist please let me know! i didn’t know there was a personal essay option until i looked at the form. i’m a pretty strong writer, given my stats i think a kickass essay is all i need to prove that i’m cal material.

Hey does anyone know about IGETC,
On my uc application, I indicated that I was going to have completed IGETC, but really its only a partial IGETC. Does anyone know if this can change my admission status? Nothing changed whatsoever on my transcript just to be clear.
Congrats to those who got in! Any CS majors tho?
does anyone know if it matters when I submit my waitlist essay/LOCI? as in does it affect my chances of being accepted?
totally down!
