PLEASE chance me for CAL

Major: English
GPA: 3.3
CC: Santa Ana College
Extracurricular Activities: Honors, Inter-Club Council President, Involvement in Student Government, President Gay-Straight Alliance, Americorps Mentor to Foster Youth
Essay: Strong had read by 3 English professors and the Cal Rep. I discussed being a first generation latino college student and the struggles of being gay and how it motivates me to work to the best of my ability.

I have gotten into UCLA, UCI, and UC Davis - just waiting for Berkeley and its killing me- i wanna throw up. I wanna be prepared for rejection, but would like honest opinions of other people.

You know, I was literally just seconds ago wondering why there weren't any chance threads for Cal for the last minute freak out people. Thanks for correcting that anomaly!

You'll find out tomorrow for sure. If you have anxiety may I suggest a brisk walk, a dip in the spa, or a trip to get a scoop of your favorite ice cream?

Good luck to you!

Look at it this way, if you've gotten into UCLA, you shouldn't have much of a problem getting into Cal as both schools have similar acceptance rates.

Well, your major is part of the College of Letters and Science and about 15-20% of transfers got admitted last year. Given your ECs, I'd say you have a decent chance of getting in. Good luck tomorrow.
