<p>Parting words:
Last year I only applied to UCI and they laughed me out of admissions. After one final academic renewal and more classes, UCI had to take me this year because I TAGGED! The best thing that ever happened to me was the UCI rejection! I would not have received aid (average grades). I applied for academic renewal last fall, and got in to every UC I applied to, and even got 2 full rides. Sometimes, you have to be thankful that you were rejected. Keep your eye on the ball, don’t pay attention to what anybody says.</p>
