<p>General Comments, scholarship chances, status info, going to USC…?: Thought it was a long shot, not super suprised, but still bummed to get denied from my top- my first rejection too. Definitely was my low GPA that ruined it for me, oh well. Not going to appeal, don’t really like the idea of appealing anyways. Going to a school that actually wants me :)</p>
