<p>Dont worry…I got rejected from UCLA AND CAL. I beat you! You havent heard from USC yet. Stay strong. Just realize that theyve already made the decision, so regardless of whether you worry or not, it will not change the decision that theyve made.</p>
<p>i’m really scared that i’ll get rejected from USC too. actually not scared, i’m kindof expecting it, but i just dont to face reality and actually receive a rejection letter.</p>
<p>If it makes any of yall feel better, our valedictorian got accepted to Cal but rejected from LA. And my other friend got into LA and got rejected from Cal, and she’s ranked 9 right now. I’m really happy for her 'cus she wanted to go really badly. </p>
<p>I agree with firewolf, you can’t really change anything now that it has happened. Whatever you believe in, fate or God, has made their decision, it’s not in your hands anymore. </p>
<p>Just look to the future, USC still hasn’t finished their decisions, and I’m sure other schools haven’t either. So good luck to all of you.</p>
