<p>hey everyone!
i’ve never posted here before…but i’ve been reading everyone’s posts, because just like all of you, i’m freaking out. Just wanted to say congrats to everyone who’s gotten in somewhere
I already got into UCSB and UCSD…just waiting on ucla as i’m sure many of you are. I notice all of you like posting your stats because everyone here is honest :)</p>
<ul>
<li>political science</li>
<li>3.4 GPA</li>
<li>4.0 in major classes</li>
<li>ALL major preps completed</li>
<li>TAP certified</li>
<li>will complete IGETC this semester</li>
</ul>
<p>i know TAP looks good but it’s not a guaranteed thing…and my GPA for various reasons is not as strong as i wish. will TAP help a lot? i keep hearing 3.5 and above is what UCLA looks for. am i setting my hopes too high? AAAH!!! this is all too stressful!!!</p>
<p>Plenty of people get accpeted without a 3.5, esp in the social sciences (there was a break down of each major, I think the average GPA for political sciance admits was 3.5). And taps always a good thing. Good luck!</p>
<p>Welcome here shy, as you say, everyone here is nice and honest… Anyways, your stats looks good. By the way, don’t be so shy, feel free to participate in the forum… you are very welcome here :)</p>
<p>whoa…thanks…you guys are making me feel much more confident. i honestly felt a 3.4 meant a far reach. I know UCLA cares a lot about major preps and i feel i’ve been on the right path as far as that goes, so that’s what gives me hope. Eh…two more weeks and we’ll see…!</p>
<p>I’m almost wishing we weren’t so close. Maybe I’ve just been fooling myself up until now, but I’m going to be really hurt if I don’t get into Berkeley. It’s the truth.</p>
<p>mrmuirc, I was just thinking the same thing. I keep telling people that I only applied to Cal to see if I could get in and that I would be happy with just getting into SD, but that’s not true at all. I’ll probably be devastated for awhile if I don’t get into Cal or LA.</p>
<p>The same goes for me. Although, I didn’t bother applying to CAL because of financial reasons. Now, my mom is telling me that I should have applied to CAL and that money isn’t an issue. What the f? I hate how she always procrastinates on everything that she does and when she finally makes up her mind she does it at the very last minute. <em>Sigh</em>. Parents these days. No, actually it’s just my parent. Anyways, I’m going to be taking my last acceptance very personally. It will be a sign that I will actually have some potential of doing something great.</p>
