In-state
Environmental Science major with the intention to have an education minor
Although test scores were weak my essays I spent around 5 months of work on and I had strong roles in my sport, band, and club.
Super excited and will probably accept if I’m denied from UCSB which is likely since the test scores are pretty weak compared to many. I wish the best of luck to everyone and remember that wherever you go, you’ll succeed and to not let college decisions define you!
