<p>You’ve got fairly strong stats and apparently you’re a good/great writer. If you’re after CoE or CoC (which doesn’t appear to be the case), it’s a bit risky, but for L&S I’d say you’re probably golden.</p>
<p>I would say that you are definitely getting in, but you never know now a days… people with your scores are nkot even getting into UCSB and UCSC… its crazy!!! GOOD LUCK</p>
<p>I know plenty of people who got into UCLA but not Cal, and vice versa. AFAIK UCLA tends to emphasize stats more, while Cal puts somewhat more emphasis on essays/being well-rounded.</p>
<p>Also, it’s out of your hands at this point; don’t get freaked out at the idea that you won’t get in. The worst that can happen is you wind up going to a second choice, in which case you’ll probably be pleasantly surprised at how nice it is there. That’s certainly what I experienced here, <.<.</p>
<p>@jonnosferatu haha thank you. ive been saying your words as my mantra today. “Also, it’s out of your hands at this point; don’t get freaked out at the idea that you won’t get in.”</p>
