Hey all, I’m new to this forum, but I just got the word that I’ve been wait-listed as well, so I thought I’d update with you all. I guess it’s nice they didn’t reject me outright! I’ll take it. (My other main contenders where I’ve been accepted are UCLA, UC Berkeley, and Columbia GS.)

My stats: 3.87 GPA at my current community college (90 units, and the two Bs were from 3 years ago) and 3.7 overall GPA if you include courses I took several years ago at other schools. I’ve done a lot of volunteer work and several long-term internships, member of honors program, PTK, etc. I’m 21, and I dropped out of high school after my sophomore year, so I’m a nontraditional student as well (3.5 high school GPA, never took the SATs.)

Congratulations to the people who got in!! Are you going?
