[<em>] Strengths: Essays, solid gpa, a good number of extracurriculars
[</em>] Weaknesses: My extracurriculars are kinda spread out all over the place. I only took one AP class between my sophmore and junior years (financial reasons). Although I did have honors classes, I’m sure that AP’s carry more weight than an honors class.
[li] Why you think you were accepted/waitlisted/rejected:I guess I made a fairly convincing argument in my essays. [/li][/ul]General Comments: I got rejected from UCLA and UCSD, but I did get into UCSB and UCI, and I’m very grateful for that. All in all, I have no regrets and wouldn’t have done anything differently during high school. I’m not sure where I’m going just yet, but if this happens though, I’ll be the first one among my brothers and sisters to go to a UC instead of a CSU, so I’m hoping this all works out for the best.</p>
