General Comments: While I feel I deserve to be admitted and am going, I didn’t think my app was that great. I did a reasonably good job with my essay (had my English teacher read over it a couple times), and my ACT score is pretty good, but my GPA was on the low side (3.6 or B average while my app was evaluated). For what its worth, I was rejected everywhere else I applied (UCB, UCLA, UCSB)</p>
