<p>Haha. It’s all good, we’re both going to our dream schools! </p>
<p>Thanks a lot! It’s going to be hard to decline UCLA’s offer of admission. I haven’t SIR’d to Berkeley yet but I’m going to soon! 
</p>

<p>A few pages back somebody with a 3.83 GPA stated that they were accepted. I basically had the same numbers. I did not apply to UCB though. Thought it would be a waste of money since my heart was really set at going to UCLA and wanting to stay in SoCal.</p>

Accepted: UCSB

(Keep checking UCSC’s site and they say it’s in review still, ughh)
Gender: Male
Ethnicity: White</p>
<p>I think the biggest thing that made application weak is the fact that I’m taking 20 units this semester, but the semesters almost over and I’m gonna end up with mostly As and some Bs. I’ll be at a total of 60 units and IGETC certified.</p>
<p>Should I appeal and ask them to reconsider? I’ve been working my a** off and to be denied from both of my dream schools (Cal and UCLA) is a bit of a bummer. </p>
<p>Also (mild rant here), It seems like out-of-state transfers have become the priority because the UC system can squeeze more $ out of them.</p>
<p>Accepted!</p>

-2 Honors clubs with about 200 hours of service
-One of the highest leadership awards at my CC

<p>Congratulations to everyone who got in! And to all future transfers, if you put in the work, you will get in. As my username indicates, I wasn’t going to take no for an answer, so I did everything I possibly could to get into Cal. Hard work does pay off, so if you are working your ass off, studying in the library everyday, you will get in. Just keep working.</p>
