@melgoldstein wow, what did you say? And that’s amazing!
@eo2019 My bigger point was that you shouldn’t fret over what has already passed. Again, take pride in your accomplishments thus far. Being passed a supplement also implies that this is a “make or break” situation and that itself is more pressure.
@sakurako I got the same ones too. i talked more about the nigerian lifestyle with dance and cultural and I how I embraced it. Then the second one with academic hardships was with me not having the time because as the oldest I took the responsibility of taking care of my siblings and helping them with their hw etc. Also, how i was limited to opportunities to take the practice sat and even own a sat book because of family drama and death in the family. I talked about cal soap and how they’ve helped me and why they have influenced my future goals of becoming a psychiatrist. And I hope we get in too!!!
Oh, did anyone else on this thread also apply to UCB?
I did the supplemental but never knew it existed you know? It’s crazy but we are very blessed to receive one @sakurako
@eo2019 Woah, I just realized I completely misread your post LOL. You //did// receive it, sorry.
@hallowdreams I do take pride in my accomplishments, always and everyone should. And yes, it is more pressure considering the fact that it’s you and the admissions people reading your application again plus the supplemental. By the way, did you receive one?
@hallowdreams lmao it’s all good!!
@eo2019 Again, sorry LOL. I thought you hadn’t received it and you were fretting about not receiving it. I didn’t
I don’t have any extenuating circumstances that would’ve warranted me receiving one. Nor do I have any outstanding talents (sports or music).
@hallowdreams a lot of people in this thread applied to UCB. no shade, but some people post the exact same things in the UCLA/UCB threads, down to the letter. it’s cute.
@emilyjack45 it’s for borderline applicants. For high and low borderline applicants receive it but mainly low because “you could get in or not into UCLA”
@nat97xo LOL, I frequent both so I’ve seen them but I was trying to make conversation since a fair amount of applicants seem to be online rn. I’m trying to avoid Calculus homework at the moment.
@nat97xo Especially the chance me ones, LOL.
@hallowdreams what’s your stats if I may ask? And let me tell you, it was such a random email when i got it. In all seriousness I thought it was a scam and I cried when I found out it wasn’t lmfao haha
L m f a o @hallowdreams that’s what was suppose to be there
Meh, this is driving me crazy. Can I just sleep until Friday?
@hallowdreams I did! I’m not expecting anything from UCB, though, haha.
i cry bc still waiting on uci…
@eo2019 Pretty good SAT and a cumulative/un-weighted GPA of 4.0. I can’t recall what my weighted GPA is at the moment and I never did bother to calculate my UC GPA, LOL.
I hadn’t even heard of supplements until I started frequenting CC more often. I’d joined a year back or so for an event at Brandeis and I quit posting but this has been a pretty valuable resource throughout this hell…
@seeniebeenie Oh my gosh, don’t say that! I’m being a bit of a hypocrite though because I’m not really sure how to feel about UCB. I’m more nervous about that than anything else… but I’ve been praying that a few other things are signs of acceptance LOL. I hope you get into both schools.
