<p>Reflection
Strengths: My academic record and test scores. Maybe the fact that all my extracurriculars are related to the field of English/writing.
Weaknesses: I wish I’d done more extracurriculars and been more extensively involved in general.
Why you think you were accepted/waitlisted/rejected: My academic record and overall commitment to English in my classes and ECs
General Comments: I am seriously considering UCSD because it will be one of my options if I don’t get into UCLA.</p>
<p>^^ No offense, but I’m very curious as to why you received Regents. Your test scores are quite low for regents and the fact that you do not have any hooks.</p>
<p>@SwedishM8: To be honest, I was surprised that UCSD offered me Regents since it draws a larger pool of more competitive applicants than, say, UCR or UCSB (I got Regents at those campuses). On the other hand, I don’t think my test scores are that low in comparison to the typically accepted UCSD applicant (the 75th percentile is a 2030 SAT).</p>
<p>(Of course, if we were talking about Regents at UCLA or Berkeley, then those scores would probably be in the ballpark of the high 2200s-2300s, which is definitely out of range for the majority of applicants, including me. Not that I care; I just want to be accepted.)</p>
<p>I applied as a declared English major (as mentioned in my original post under “Intended Major”) and listed Sixth College as my first choice.</p>

<p>description This request requires HTTP authentication (MyApplication is currently unavailable to allow for system maintenance. Please check back later in the day.).</p>
<p>This is what I think. This HTTP Status 401 thing could be caused by one of these:</p>
<ol>
<li>They release decisions by alphabetical order, like A’s arrive in the morning, and Z’s arrive at night.</li>
<li>They release waitlisted/rejected applicants before accepted (highly unlikely).</li>
<li>Everyone is trying to access it and it crashed (highly likely).</li>
</ol>
<p>My friend (last name starts with A) checked at 8:45am and got waitlisted. But I can’t access mine, even if I checked literally 5 minutes after he checked. (Last name starts with G).</p>
<p>@ukulelekidd – I don’t believe it’s option 1, although we could easily check that by asking if anyone on CC has a last name of A, B, or C. I think option 3 is most likely. After people began checking, the site probably crashed under the stress, and it could have happened between the five minutes your friend checked and you checked.</p>
but i remmeber quality was good…
