Waitlist for nutritional sciences 
damn Davis was my top UC school
UC GPA: 3.7
ACT: 34
I wrote about the circumstance of anorexia severely affecting my grades but how I’ve recovered and brought my grades back up in the right direcfion
I’m honestly really sad
@Gumbymom Thanks a bunch. Really surprised honestly, I thought UCs were heavily stats based.
Have any OOS people been awarded the Provost Scholarship? I assume you are notified when you are accepted like with Regents, but I just want to double check.
@caligirl1999: Each UC reviews their applicants based on the 14 areas of criteria, but some may weigh essays over EC’s more etc… UCSB states that academics are 50% of their review criteria and essays/EC’s are another 50% so there is no way to tell which is easier or harder. All you can do is wait and see.
@happywaffles Hang in there. Of course it’s disappointing. But chin up: things will go your way.
oh btw congrats to everyone who got in !!
pretty sad i was rejected, i knew i was borderline bc of my stats but i thought my essays would make up for it (mom died of breast cancer my freshman year and my grandma died of ALS my sophomore year) because they explained the low GPA. i’m hoping i at least get into ucsc
Just got accepted to biomedical engineering!
