<p>syltutu, I’ve never met you before, but I feel like I can relate to your situation.</p>
<p>I have a friend that got denied off of Irvine’s waitlist, and is now going to SDSU. She was pretty devastated at first, primarily because she worked her butt off all of high school, got a stellar GPA, and pretty much thought she worked 100x harder than the other SDSU kids. </p>
<p>The thing is, these 4 years of hard work in high school did not go to waste. You’ve learned how to study and organize yourself and balance your life and take AP classes. You’re SET for college, no matter which college you go to. You have an advantage over the majority of the other students at your college. You know how to study. So when the first midterm rolls around and everyone is freaking out, you’ll be prepared because you took AP classes in high school and you’re familiar with the material. So I kinda see this as a blessing in disguise. Correct me if I’m wrong, I may know nothing about your situation. But I feel like you’ll have a huge advantage in college, no matter where you go, because of the work you did in high school.</p>
