<p>I will be honest. She applied to six colleges with about a 3.5 gpa and SAT 1850 and exemplary EC’s. This all before I discovered this web site. She was rejected by all of them. She was heartbroken at the rejection. She and I felt she worked her fanny off all for naught. Like many of you, we did not even know UCM existed until they contacted us. I could not talk her into going here at first . We started looking at CSUN, CSM,CSF. I made her promise before she made up her mind to visit UCM. THe school 's ambience, the caliber of the other students compared to the other campuses listed convinced her Wise Old Dad was right! At first she complained {see Premed4life} but now she has embraced the opportunities the school offers with enthusiasm. First semester she earned 3.54 gpa. Some of the tougher classes due curve here. She is becoming involved in starting some clubs on campus Possibilities are endless!</p>
