<p>No space! With great difficulty, I was able to cut it down to 1000 exactly. I don't see why they would care.</p>

<p>I finally submit the application! Since costs were prohibitive, I decided to only apply to UCB (not UCLA or UCD). I will, of course, apply elsewhere. Anyone know any good safety schools :-)?</p>
<p>zking786, you took somewhat of a risk by only applying to Berkeley, but hopefully things work out well.</p>
<p>i only applied to berkeley, too. my essays were NOT refined at all. hopefully they look more at stats?<br>
Anyway, for those of you who didn't turn it in yet, DO IT NOW!</p>
<p>why must we turn it in now? will it be impossible to later?</p>
<p>when do you think the last time it will be possible to get through to turn it in will be?</p>
<p>just so you guys know, you have to go through a couple more pages and stuff (like how you're gonna pay for it and all this consent stuff)after you press the submit button. in other words, don't wait till 11:59.59 PM to submit your app. good luck to you all.</p>
<p>thanks Caljgoz, do you have any idea when the system is expected to crash again?</p>
<p>is there anybody here who hasnt submitted???? i am. and i have 6 hrs left.......rite???</p>
<p>i wish i could tell you but i honestly don't know. my guess is that the traffic will peak around 9-11:30 pm and then will clear up. what i do know is that last year my friend did this application and his personal statement from scratch two hours before it was due (talk about procrastination) and submitted it at 11:58, Nov. 30. I guess that means UC tries it's very hardest to keep the system running when the panicking begins. </p>
<p>As far as I know, the system did not go down last year, at least whenever I used it. just try to get it in as soon as you can so you get as many chances to submit it and then take a deep breath, relax. Decisions will come in March. </p>
<p>hope this helps. best of luck.</p>
<p>thanks so much Caljgonz, that did help. My stress level is still sky high, but that's my own procastinating fault and you did calm at least me down a bit.</p>
<p>no problem, glad to be of help =)</p>
<p>Well, I applied only to UCB, since my dad told me that I shouldn't apply to UCLA and could only apply to UCB and UCD. I don't really want to go to UCD, so I only applied to UCB.</p>
<p>I was told that since I' have a gpa of 3.84UW and 4.2W and moderate SAT scores, in state, pretty good extracurriculars (research, I've patented 13 inventions), and 3 JC courses, that it shouldn't be extremely difficult to get in. What do you think my chances are?</p>
<p>The only things is, I'm finishing HS (senior yr) in a local HS in Bangalore, India. Since I was born in CA and have lived there only until recently, I'm still considered a CA resident. As a result, this shouldn't disadvantage me, what do you think?</p>
<p>Also, where else should I apply?</p>
<p>if ur still a CA resident......it will benefit u.</p>
<p>I know, according to their website's technical definition, I'm still a CA resident since I am a UC citizen and haven't relinquished my CA residence for more than a year. Also, since I haven't moved to another state, etc.</p>
<p>Lastly, how important are extracurriculars in the admissions process? Is it primarily grade driven, or can my extracurriculars make a big difference?</p>
