Congratulations! My D22 is a rising senior at UCLA and has had an amazing experience. She’s grown so much, made lovely friends and received a wonderful education. Have a great time!
Congrats from one Bruin to another!
I guess from my perspective, it looks like you applied to a well-balanced list, got a variety of great offers to consider, then picked what I assume was your favorite.
So to me that seems like a good strategy that paid off!
S25 - CA, 4.0 GPA, 1580 SAT, 13 APs, applied - CS Major, spike - STEM ECs including national awards, varsity sports, community service, internship, strong recommendations
Accepted - CSUs, all UCs except UC Berkeley, Brown, CMU, USC, UIUC, GaTech
Waitlisted - Harvard, Cornell, UMich
Rejected - Stanford, MIT, Caltech, Princeton, UPenn, UT Austin
Attending - CMU
What does CA stand for?
Most likely this means that the student is a California resident, because the post mentions California state schools (CSUs and UCs).
Thank you!
