Back story

THIS ENTIRE WEEK WAS AWFUL! And the day before yesterday i just kept crying because I didn’t have a plan for what I’m doing after college & there were other things. Then yesterday I really felt God’s presence and I was in such a happy mood. It was such a productive day & I was like okay Im gonna check the UCSC portal just in case. I GOT IN! The thing is if I didn’t check I wouldn’t have known because apparently UCSC emails were in my spam for some reason?? Im so blessed & thankful!!

Good personal statemenets, ecs, etc…

Goodluck to those who are still awaiting a decision, I hate the process they keep you waiting too long. Not fair. There will be more admissions though.

Nobody’s updated in the past couple of days… I hope that’s not all they’re taking off this year :frowning:
