General Comments/Additional Information:
Congrats to everyone who was accepted. Good luck to everyone else. For future applicants, DON’T WASTE YOUR TIME READING THESE THINGS. I’ve wasted hours of my life looking and trying to compare myself, and at the end I’m still super unsure. It feels good to read these and sometimes it feels bad, but honestly don’t waste your time. I’m posting here bc. I’ve spent hours reading this damned website, and I undoubtedly have some debt to pay.

[/ul]General Comments/Additional Information:[list] Like many other applicants, I’m posting because I’ve read these threads myself for years. I never saw anyone with a GPA as low as mine, or anyone that had failed an AP test get in anywhere I wanted to go-- reading these threads, in short, always made me feel inadequate. Hopefully, my post can counteract some of the stress involved with college admissions.

They are kinda shitty, so I understand why I wasn’t accepted into the computer science major, but its extremely disappointing. I also don’t like my essays at all, anymore, so I am a little butthurt that my app wasn’t packaged very well.
Yikes so anxious
If anyone is looking, please tell me if any of you find out any updates about releases of decisions.
When is the second wave of acceptances?
I didn’t get an email or notification from sd, but if you log onto your portal, you can see your decision!!

Reflection
Why you think you were accepted/waitlisted/rejected:
Where else were you accepted/waitlisted/rejected:
Are you going to UCSD?: No
Deferred: Duke (ED)
Accepted: Berkeley, Florida Tech ($20,000 merit scholarship), UCI Honors, UCSD, Vanderbilt (1st choice, will attend)
Waitlisted: Washington U in St. Louis, UC DAVIS HAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Waiting on: USC, Northwestern, Cornell, UCLA, UCSB, UCSC, Claremont McKenna, NYU, Tulane, Occidental, and Pepperdine. Will be withdrawing due to ED II obligations.
From the other threads, the general consensus is that all accepted students got their decisions today and that you will be rejected/waitlisted on March 30th if you didn’t. Perhaps there will be more “waves” of accepted students later on, but I feel like it’s pretty unlikely considering the volume of already accepted students. Good luck to everyone else!

[/ul]General Comments/Additional Information:[list] I want to stay in California, so UCSD is definitely a good option (although I am waiting for other schools).
