I dont know.. I was the kind of hardhead that really didn't want to settle with any of my safeties.. when i finally decided i wanted to apply to UCSD. My siblings (all of which went to UCLA or berkeley) told me thats a stupid idea. Now looking back on it, I know what the truly stupid idea was.
Anyways, I dont know.. The best thing for me to say right now is: Funny how fate works out.
^^^The smartest person at our school (He's BRILLIANT) didn't get into any of the schools he applied for (HY Dartmouth, Carnegie Mellon) and didn't apply to any safeties...the thing with him though is that he had NO extracurriculars so its a little different from your situation...lol now i think he's going to U of mississippi or something which seems kinda random...He never listened to any of the counselors or his friends telling him that it would be hard because he had no EC's even though he has perfect gpa and sat and ap scores.
this wait is ridiculous and reflects poorly on a school with such national recognition. ucla's disorganization is an embarrassment to highly respected UC system.
