Just want to put this out for all the seniors stressing/heartbroken from Friday’s results.
I personally think it’s rather cruel that they don’t release all the decisions together.
After I was rejected at UCLA, and waitlisted at UCSD and UCI, the following weekend was probably the darkest I’ve ever had. I was heartbroken that all the work I had put in throughout the past 4 years were in vain.
I went into the day mentally preparing myself for a rejection/waitlist.
Instead, I was accepted:
Now that I’ve finished more than half of my first year here at UCSB as a Computer Engineering student, I feel confident in saying that you truly will end up where you belong, whether at UCSB or somewhere else.
Going to college is so much more than prestige or rankings or acceptance rates. It’s about learning, making friends and building connections.
No matter what happens tomorrow, you’ll end up just fine
