what community are you coming from? @jayshah12

@NaniMata i’m coming from Cypress college, wbu, and if u don’t mind what are ur stats?

WELL COLOR ME IRRITATED. I do not like this waiting game. I haven’t been able to eat or sleep properly for like five days. GUYS remember when we were all convinced it would be the 18th? Such blissful happy times.

@jayshah12 I’m at LAHC so not far,
My stats
3.45 gpa
no EC because i have two jobs
essay 8/10
I’m a very plane jane so it scares me a little. What about yours?

GPA; 3.88(3.8 rn :frowning:
EC:
Eagle scout
Volunteered in Homeless Shelter in Skid Row

Work Experience
Photographer- when I was in high school I used to do photoshoots for people and made a small income from that, but mostly did it cause i like to mess with my camera and editing
There prob more but I would have to dig in my UC app later on
Essays
9.5/10( ahaha might seem cocky but I honestly worked all summer on them for like 3 months)

@jayshah12 if I were you I would not be worried! You have a lot of ECS was all that just in college? Not cocky at if you worked on it give yourself credit where it’s due.

@NaniMata thanks alot, appreicate it really! And aha i didnt do all those ECS in community college, i just volunteeered at the hospital but that too was pretty small amounts. Alot of them I did when I was in high school because I wasnt so studious and knew my senior year I had to take the CC route instead so I just make sure my ECS were strong than so i can focus on studying when im at CC! But hey respect to you for having two jobs, applying to UC’s and having the goal to become a physician one day! Did you apply anywhere else?

    Where should I go???

No problem!

I just got an emial that they are still reviewing smh UCLA comes out tomorrow.

@Rayshard did UCLA OR UCSD sent you an email that they were still reviewing??

@Rayshard what did it sayyyyy

they wait until last minute even though we applied 6 months ago? unreal.

@jayshah12 No problem! Hey you had a good plan and you went through with it and you made CC work for you. I went to CC cause I don’t get aid. So I did have ECs in high school I played soccer, did track, xcountry, ran two marathons did a lot with my boys and girls club house, I was in student gov, CSF, keystone and some other stuff. Thank you! I applied to UCI but they have me in the same exact boat. What about you?

Anyone down to chance me?? ^^^^

Guys, I was on the UCSD subreddit and people were posting asking where the transfer decisions were. Many people who go there have commented saying they got theirs the last possible Friday last year so it will most likely be the same for us. I can wait until tomorrow but I’m gonna burst if I have to wait until Friday
