@stackofsocks Congratulations! I’m so happy to see a fellow Japanese major getting accepted! UCLA was your top pick too right? Also omg I participated in my local speech contest too! Manged to win and going to Japan once this semester ends to visit for 3 weeks) Are you going to Bruin Day?
I really want to go to Bruin day but that is the last day of my English class.
If I miss one more class that syllabus says my grade in that class will go down one letter.
I will try to broker a deal with my professor this Saturday on that lol.
@ohhsench - The “sob stories” alone don’t get folks in. If you truly have some extenuating circumstances, you should have included those in your essays. You have a strong app - you’ll probably get into UCSD. I’m surprised you rejected by UCSB, tbh.
Guys can anyone give some tips on appealing. I absolutely have no understanding of how the system works.
@AeroDE I’m glad to know I’m not the only one! I was getting worried that maybe I didn’t actually get admitted. I’ll probably give them a call if it’s not up tomorrow.
@ARousseau It can be all of those things and still be a sob story…

@JCMaxwell how do you send FAFSA to them? I had no clue!

Login (or fix your info and then login if it’s been forgotten or you haven’t made an FSA ID in)
You should be able to edit the schools you’ve sent the FAFSA to.
The FAFSA lets you send two lists of up to 10 schools. You can edit a list at any time.
