<p>Waitlisted So far I’ve been waitlisted to 5 different schools…</p>
<p>YES SIR Accepted! So, so far, waitlisted into Northwestern; likely acceptance (since FA change happened) to NYU, acceptance to Syracuse/UCLA/UCSD. My odd is pretty good…although last four are reach to me (Berkeley/Harvard/Stanford/Columbia).</p>
<p>Rejected, oh well… pretty much saw it coming. Applied for D|MA and they accept like less than 10% of the people, so it was really not that much of a surprise hahaha. Congrats to everybody who got in!</p>
<p>Rejected as well, still gotta keep my head high.</p>
<p>Good luck to everyone!!</p>

<p>Anyone know when the regents scholars are announced???</p>
<p>size=+2]Decision: Accepted[/size]</p>
<p>Objective:[ul]
[<em>]SAT I: 2130 (700CR/760M/670W)
[</em>]SAT II: Math Level 2 (800), Physics (800), Chinese (800)
[<em>]Weighted GPA (out of 4.5): 4.1
[</em>] UC GPA: 3.86 (UW) 4.36-ish (W) (These are a bit blurry as I’ve never gotten the hang of calculating them properly. Our school also has major grade deflation)
[<em>]Rank (percentile if rank is unavailable): 18/270
[</em>]AP: Psychology (5), Computer Science (4), Chinese (5)
[<em>]IB: IB Diploma: English (HL), Computer Science (HL), Physics (HL), Psychology (SL), Math (SL), Chinese (SL)
[</em>]Senior Year Course Load: Most difficult course load offered by our school. The above classes plus Theory of Knowledge
[li]I also took two 4 unit college courses at UC Berkeley: Cognitive Science 1 (Received an A), Political Science 2 (Received a B)</p>[/li]
<p>[/ul]Subjective:[ul]
[<em>]Applied for Financial Aid?: No
[</em>] Major: Computer Science
[<em>]Extracurriculars: 6 years of competitive air pistol and rapid fire pistol of junior team in Shanghai (2 years as team captain), MUN, Debate (Group leader), School magazine (Science and Technology department leader)
[</em>]Job/Work Experience: Had a job for one summer as assistant manager for a child daycare system
[<em>]Volunteer/Community service: Personnel manager and salesperson of a charity fundraiser where we sold sunglasses to fund surgeries for the senior citizen population. We raised enough money to fund 100 surgeries.
[</em>]Essays: I’d say pretty strong. For the first essay, I wrote about how moving to China changed my world and how seeing the differences in cultures inspired me to learn about the world around me. My second essay was about overcoming gender biases which exist in China, particularly in the pistolling community, and how becoming team captain had given me the confidence to pursue what I love and not let social norms restrict who I am

[li] Hooks (URM, first generation college, etc.): First generation college student</p>[/li]
<p>[/ul]Reflection[ul]
[<em>] Strengths: Probably my essays and my focus/achievements in pistolling.
[</em>] Weaknesses: My scores and grades. My school has major grade deflation and it looks terrible for the UCs. I think that the lack of variety in ECs is also a bit worrying seeing that others have large lists of what they’ve done when I just focused on pistolling, which was time consuming (15 hours a week, 40 weeks a year)
[<em>] Why you think you were accepted/waitlisted/rejected: I think my essays were rather compelling
[</em>] Where else were you accepted/waitlisted/rejected: UC Riverside (Accepted with Regents), UC Merced (Accepted with Regents), UC Santa Cruz (Accepted), UC Davis (Accepted), UC Irvine (Accepted), UC San Diego (Accepted), UCLA (Accepted), MIT (Rejected), GATech (Rejected probably because my essays for this school was terrible)</p>
