hey everyone, i haven't posted on this bored at all... i've just been a quiet lurker. it's quite entertaining, i might add. just thought i'd post now that i've been accepted.

Admitted: UCLA, UCD, waiting on UCB
CURRENT SCHOOL: San Jose State University
Major: Political Science (hoping to change it to Philosophy)
GPA: 3.86
Extracurriculars: None. No job, no community service... kind of surprised I was admitted considering that.

I think a big part of the reason I was accepted may because I am ahead in my studies at SJSU (i would graduate a year early if i decided to stay there)... i have a lot of upper division units that probably will not transfer, but they may have looked good on my application.

congratulations to everyone else!
