[li] Why you think you were accepted: My strong GPA/SAT score[/li][/ul]General Comments: So far so good on my journey. Four for five (one is a waitlist to Northwestern) with four to go. Really pumped to be accepted into the college that I rooted for since I came to America. Also, I want to tell everyone that first, not everyone has to cure cancer to get in to UCLA/other “prestigious” colleges (see my EC’s). Second, college admission is truly a crapshoot…I know someone who got denied from UCSD yet got into UCLA. No matter what colleges you are accepted into, that doesn’t have to structure you in a certain way. You are you and you have the right to stay that way. Either way…Good Luck!! For some of us, we’ll see each other again in Berkeley forum in six days ahaha.</p>
