@Nhatrang congrats on the acceptance! with your kid’s stats, she’ll probably get into Berkeley, after which you can forget about the other places B-)
@Gumbymom My daughter was accepted to UCSB but I sold her so hard on the honors program at SDSU because I didn’t know if she would get into a uc that now she doesn’t know which one. Her major is environmental science. Do you have any insight as to where she would get the best education?

Pretty bad essays ngl
Some extracurriculars
I guess I don’t, it’s subjective, my private college counselor and many people who proofread told me my essays were very strong. I also got into UCSC early admit and UCSB with kind of low GPA and not many ECs so I feel my essays could have played a role
