<p>not that i’m crazy about ucsd but i just want to know my decision. AHHH, i hate waiting.</p>

<p>How do you know if you got Regents?
Yesterday, I had a missed phone call so I called it back and it was a girl telling me I had gotten accepted. She asked for my name and I gave it to her but she said my files weren’t coming up or something, but she just gave me the spew about coming to visit the campus and staying over night and stuff.</p>

<p>I thought I’d be a good candidate, 2330 SAT, 4.3 GPA, good ECs, but you never know with this stuff, ey?</p>
