<p>Yeah, I got in. 7/9 so far: Cal, UCLA, UCSD, UCD, USC, Rochester, Johns Hopkins; Rejected from Duke and Brown and still to hear from Northwestern. Doing pretty good.</p>

General Comments/Congratulations/Venting/Commiserations,etc:</p>

<p>ACCEPTED with Regents Scholarship</p>
<p>SAT 1750
SAT 2’s 710/800
GPA 3.93/4</p>
<p>if any of u guys got into a private school…go there!! honestly…they’ll treat u better than the uc’s. your just a # here</p>
<p>“so what happened to all those people on the UCSD board who were upset about getting rejected by UCSD and were anticipating the UCLA and UC-Berkeley decisions? o.O”</p>
<p>I wasn’t 100% certain that UCSD rejected some applicants they thought might get into UCLA or Berkeley…and I def didn’t know that I would get into either of them…but I got rejected by UCSD and accepted to both Cal & UCLA. Sooo psyched cuz I was def bummed when I didn’t get into UCSD. :):)</p>
<p>I’m freaking stoked. I got into every UC, but I’m most likely going to Cal. I hear about privates starting tomorrow, but I don’t think they will change my mind.</p>

<p>Mosharma, don’t try to scare away these happy kids just becuase you don’t feel like your professors held you hand enough. I don’t feel like a number. I don’t even know what a number feels like.</p>
<p>I have a 8 digit number but have found Cal to be user friendly and reasonably personable… not much different than high school.</p>
