So yea I’m top 9% of my school with a 3.9 gpa and 1600 SAT score I’m also the class treasure and I have participated in so many clubs and community service and denied to 3/4 of the universities I applied to. I applied to ucla,Davis, Irvine and Still waiting on Berkley. I’m so stressed out and depressed. Can some one please help me. I can’t handle this no more thinking how hard I worked for this and in the end getting nothing. anybody know what I should do with my life or should I just drop out?
Chill out. Your life isn’t made or lost at age 18. And nobody can tell you “what [you] should do with [your] life”.
Are those the only schools you applied? Who helped you with your college list since it seems based on your stats that they would all be Reach schools. You have no solid match or safety schools. Also intended major and essays will factor into the UC decisions. If you are the top 9% of your HS, you should be offered a spot at UC Merced (sometimes UC Riverside) if you are shutout. If these options are not acceptable, you can regroup, take a gap year and reapply to more realistic options next year or consider attending a community college for 2 years and transfer into a UC. There are several options open to you, you just need to be willing to consider alternate ways to meet you goals in the end.
My son was in the same boat after being wait listed to UCLA. But he was accepted the next week to Berkeley and has been happily attending there for three years. I hope the same thing happens for you! If not, the CA community college system is another great way to get into the UC of your choice. Hang in there!
