<p>FYI, no one from my high school with under a 4.3 has been accepted at UCLA in years (except footballers). So don’t feel bad. What I’ve seen with GPAs like yours is a Spring Admit, which is USC’s way of waitlisting. It’s actually an excellent way to get in. Good luck!</p>

<p>Anybody else? Getting nervous, do you think I will end up being a spring admit?</p>

<p>I think you’ll be fine. Good luck :)</p>
