@CaliDad2021 Have your son look into the ASME FADE program. It’s great for new Mechanical Engineering students. Gets them involved in the major while they’re taking the non-ME required courses.

Honestly really good essays. I put my heart and soul into these and I pretty much couldn’t sleep the entire summer because I couldn’t stop thinking about them
My stats definitely qualified me but I think my essays and my “hook” of being first generation are what put me through. Congrats to everyone who got in and to those who didn’t, you’ll do amazing at wherever you end up
@lakergirl6232 you are blessed if you can afford 2 USC tuitions at one time! Congrats!

Excellent ECs
Accepted at UT Austin , washu
Awaiting Berkeley and few other schools
D was accepted to UCLA and UCSD. WIll update with stats tomorrow. So damn proud of her because I know that the odds are against getting accepted and so many people with the same stats didn’t get in. This is such an interesting process and it gets to a point of simply odds.
@rshrawg what school is that, if you don’t mind me asking?
Question for those currently at UCLA – are there summer classes offered? My OOS son was accepted at UCSB and the financial aid office there suggested that he attend summer school because he could pay the resident fee and potentially knock off 1 year of non-resident tuition if he attends for 3 summers. I poked around on the UCLA website and class schedules and didn’t even see any summer classes offered?
