Exactly. I don’t know a single thing I could have done differently. My counselor has gotten students into Harvard, yale etc every year and this year nobody got in. And he approved my entire application. Feeling so numb rn

If this makes u feel better I’ve been only accepted to UC Riverside so far. I feel the same way bro. Started and own two luxury fashion brands, one of which in Beverly Hills, lost both parents at such a young age, 4.0+ gpa, so many extra curricular it isn’t funny, every college had an insane amount of applicants bro. I am sure you’re a fab applicant. Let’s hope Stanford recognizes

He’s an ex admissions officer at Harvard btw. He had around 60 applicants and sends at LEAST 10 to ivies every year. This year we had none. (only one was penn but its a legacy). Everyone in my cohort is so disappointed and transferring.It’s just not fair though.

If they don’t recognize, their lost bro

Also have to consider 3-4 out of 100 people are accepted. 97/96 are rejected. I like to think reasonably so I say to myself yeah i’m not getting in but you literally never know.

The astrology was patched last year. I have only seen it work pre 2024

I don’t have my current address only permanent address. I’m so scared. If I don’t get in I’m going to my state school.

Astrology is patched. Besides, when it worked, it was only bad if you had no addresses at all, having 1 address vs 2 addresses didn’t matter

I know it sucks, but to be fair your state school in this case is literally Cal which is an incredible institution

That’s wild that you’re complaining about Cal and UCLA. Yes, I read your stats.

Facts I got rejected from both buddy

curious if you counselor helped with the PIQs or only the private essays.

you had great success with UCs but are disappointed in that because others with supposedly less stats got into the same place you got into. Comparison has stolen the joy you should be having right now.

Both Cal and UCLA are fantastic schools!! They’re at par with the Ivies and Stanford. All the Best and Congratulations!!

Literally. You’re FINE.
