<p>I got into ucr, ucsc, ucsb, csu east bay, sf state, and I think that’s it. I even got rejected from sjsu because I don’t live in the area! Oh well. I am extremely bummed that I didn’t get into UC Irvine, because that was where I really wanted to go. I got rejected from ucla and ucdavis. I want to major in nursing, and only UC Irvine and UCLA have nursing programs, so I’ve heard. Well, I heard UC Davis is planning on starting one, but hasn’t gotten around to it yet, and anyways, I got rejected from there, too, so it doesn’t really matter. My GPA is 3.54, weighted, not counting senior year, and I have a 2110 on SAT I. I also have 740 on SAT2 Math2C and 750 for SAT2 Chinese. </p>
<p>For my appeal, I’m thinking of mentioning a few scholarships that I’ve won senior year and for extraordinary circumstances, I’m still not quite sure of what to put. During my sophomore and junior years, my grades were pretty bad, compared to freshman year, mainly because of an illness that I have recovered from. Should I mention it or do UC’s not really care and will treat it as an excuse? </p>
<p>If I don’t get into UC Irvine, I’m still not sure of where to go, because I don’t want to go to a CSU but I might have to since all the UC’s that I got into don’t have nursing programs. It sucks because UC Santa Barbara isn’t even a bad school; it just doesn’t have a nursing program! I’m also afraid that if I turn down the UC’s that I got into and decide to go to CSU East bay or SF State for the nursing major, I might not even get into nursing school there and be stuck at a CSU for college. (not that CSU’s are bad, just that I know I couldn’t done better?)</p>
<p>What do you think!</p>
