ugh. did this happen to anyone else?

<p>so um, basically, ucb didn't TOTALLY reject me.</p>

<p>they want me to spend the first two years at UC Merced and then i'm guaranteed admission into UCB provided i keep my gpa up and stuff.</p>

<p>i'm so confused! i'm glad i wasn't totally rejected, but merced??? i'd rather just go to irvine. my friends are all going to top schools, and i'll be the only loser going to merced (yes, i realize this is shallow) and merced isn't even that good of a school or campus or climate or ANYTHING.</p>

<p>ugh.</p>

<p>and UCSD offered me Winter 2009 admission, which is almost just as bad. i only got into irvine and santa cruz for fall 2008.</p>

<p>i posted this before, but the title was kinda confusing. sorry if this annoys anyone!</p>
