The copy paste thing does not work for me, so I’m just gonna post this normally.
ACCEPTED
USC Viterbi School of Engineering (Postmarked May 20th)
GPA: 3.82
Transferring from: California Community College in middle of nowhere, Northern California
Pre-reqs: All completed, including full year of Organic Chemistry, all of calculus/differential equations+linear algebra, and all of physics as well as most of my GE’s.
Units: About 80 units as of this Spring semester.
Essays/EC: I saw other engineering students get accepted with more impressive stats than I have. I believe this was due to my essays, which showed my personality and humor. I tried not to use words that seemed too fluffy or forced. My EC’s were ok. I’m an Eagle Scout, tutored calculus, chemistry and physics. Graded papers for my school’s physical sciences department.
Applied to: UCSB, UCSD, UCLA, UCI, UCD,USC
Accepted: All of them
I am having an extremely difficult time choosing between UCLA and USC. If my financial package at USC is decent, I will attend USC. Also, the quarter system sounds horrid. So that kind of makes me hesitant to attend UCLA, as well as larger class sizes. Good luck to everyone else.
