Okay, so like many other applicants, I’m extremely nervous when it comes to the decision results for Berkeley and UCLA within the next week or two. I’m an out-of-state student from GA and I don’t have the best test scores (1820 and 26), but I do have a perfect 4.0 UW GPA and a 4.31 UC GPA. But then again, so does MANY MANY other applicants. I’ve been accepted to UC Riverside (Chancellor’s Scholarship), UGA, UC Irvine, UC Davis (Provost Award), Pepperdine University, UC Santa Cruz, and UC Santa Barbara. I was feeling pretty good as I was nabbing several acceptances in a row, which surprised me (being out-of-state and all), but then I got waitlisted at UC San Diego. Now, I’m extremely nervous about UCLA and Berkeley (I really want to attend here).

My question here is that do any of you think I still have a decent chance at UCLA and Berkeley? I’m losing my mind over the waitlist, because I’m hoping it doesn’t foreshadow anything bad and my friend is trying her best to comfort me and calm my nerves down by telling me that the UCs are very unpredictable (she lives in CA and I live in GA). If you like to know anything else about me, like extracurriculars and personal statements, I’d be happy to obliged and share some info.

But I’m happy with any kind of comments or discussion!
