honestly i'm not that impressive/competitive. probably won't end up going since it'll break my parents' hearts.
the letter was dated the 9th. it said they were letting me know early so i could plan to go to their admissions reception next tuesday.
thank you so much! my top choice is georgetown. all the schools i applied to besides ucla are on the east coast, i just wanted the west coast to be an option. good luck to everyone finding out in a few hours xxx

General Comments: BE AN ACTUAL HUMAN BEING. live, party, go out with friends on the weekends, dont go to elite. do things that you want to do and have passion for. of course work hard but if you do the things you want to do, youll be surprised how far that can get you in life.

Reflection
Strengths: Dynamic, well-rounded, and committed. Although I didn't have the strongest test scores, I did stand out of my class by excelling in things I was passionate about - running, writing, and community service.
Weaknesses: I occupied an AWFUL sleep schedule my junior and senior year. Being the first to go to state from my school meant morning practices. Sleeping at 12-3 am and waking up at 5:30 to do intervals did a number on me. Personally, I never reached my full potential in academics and I think I can change that come next fall.
Why you think you were accepted/waitlisted/rejected: I showed that I was not only different from the rest of my class, in terms of athletics and academia, but also genuine. I maintained a solid, but not impossible, schedule throughout my four years, taking around 2-3 AP's my junior and senior year.
Senior Year Course Load: Office Assitant, IB English HL, IB History HL, IB German V, AP Calculus A/B

My GPA. I don't even know what happened to UCLA. For them to accept me? There was only a 7% acceptance rate this year...yeesh. Well, congrats to all of you who made it! And to those who didn't, the fact that you're even considering UCLA means you're already pretty brilliant There's a school out there for you.
