<p>CC is what happens :(</p>

<p>go to community college for a year or two and then transfer. or take a year off to travel and re-apply. it really won't be the end of the world. it's also pretty unlikely that you'll be rejected from every single school.</p>

<p>Each May, an organization posts a list of colleges with openings that are available for the fall. The list usually is long and usually includes a few tier one as well as some tier 2 colleges. If those don't work out, you take a gap year or go to community college and then transfer.</p>

5

<p>community colleges allow admission at such a late time?
like.. april 2006? (i guess thats when i find out about the results)</p>

6

<p>just dont risk it... apply to some of the amazing rolling admit schools, some that come to mind are purdue, iu-bloomington and ohio university-athens. All are great schools</p>

7

<p>A lot of community colleges only require you to apply and register a few weeks before classes start, usually around late July or early August.</p>

<p>Ya, getting rejected can be a hard pill to swallow. but thats why you gota find good safeties... and if you still ge t rejected...</p>

<p>My S decided last year that if he were rejected by all, he would apply to the University of Hawaii at Manoa (the main campus). They accept applications until May 1, I believe. There could be worst things in life than spending a few years in Hawaii.</p>

<p>hmm...looking at your stats..I'd say you'd have a good chance at UCR and UCM so apply there if you want to go to a UC. i Don't know about the others..and if you are rejected to all...go to a CC for two years and do well ( like a 3.5 GPA or higher) then transfer to UCLA or UCB throught the transfer program ( its really easy to get into UCs throught junior colleges)</p>
