<p>General comments/congratulations/venting,etc: Compared to others that got rejected at UC Irvine, I definitely believe that I don’t deserve my spot in the school. I worked hard towards the end of my sophomore year and onward, but I didn’t do as much compared to others. UCI did send me a supplemental application to fill out last February that asked for my Fall Semester Senior GPA (which was a 4.4), so I think getting that high GPA improved my chances significantly.</p>
<p>I guess my acceptance is an example of how it’s never too late to start working hard for what you want. My minority status definitely gave me an edge over others, but I think the greatest factor the UCI admission staff took to admit me was the fact that I kept improving through my grades, going from a 2.4 UWGPA all the way up to a 4.4 WGPA.</p>
<p>I hope others that tried their best got accepted to UC Irvine as well, and I hope to see you all in the Fall!</p>
