i'm going to SD because of the same reason hotelmoscow. After taking those rejections and finding out who got in, I've been really disillusioned by UCLA and Cal. If UCLA is proud to welcome minorities with 2.0 GPA's (i'm not joking), then they can go right ahead. =)

@jasonlee- A lot of people I know got into Cal and turned it down to go to either LA or SD because they really didnt like the ambience.

^ I think you'd most likely die if that happened.

yea, I've seen plenty of minorities with 3.0s and lower than avg. SAT scores get in.
People, you need to be more enthusiastic about SD. stop thinking about UCLA and Cal. There's no doubt that they're great colleges, but UCSD is great too.

Its his choice to defend our country. And Anthony, if you're old enough to go to college its a good bet that you're old enough to sign the contract without parental consent. I would recommend you going to college first and then commissioning as an officer, you'll have a lot more opportunities after the military.

Oh and maelstrom, I talked to some health professionals and they told me you typically die when shot in the head.

Jasonlee said exactly what I wanted to. UCSD is still a top UC, and we need to remember that.

I don't think you should join the marines. Unless you happen to like the idea of being a pawn for the military industrial complex.

I hope UCSD is a great school. I would have been happy if I had been accepted to UCLA but I'm pretty ****ed about Berkeley.
