Acceptance letters season Options

[synatribe]

So personally, I've been stressing over college acceptances, and I got my first rejection letter today so Im on this weird emotional trip because I keep thinking every university might think the same way.

So far,
I got accepted to UC Riverside and Cal State Long Beach (my back up schools)

the top choices im waiting on
Cal Poly Pomona
UC Davis
UC Santa Cruz
UC Irvine

My DREAM SCHOOLs (I would literally cry(jk) if I got accepted (hoping I am that 1%)
UC Berkeley
UC Santa Barbara

I currently got rejected from
San Diego State University (their Business is prestigious and impacted which is probably why I got rejected)

stat wise
high school GPA : 3.67 weighted
Passed AP USH with a 3
EC's: MUN, Key Club, ASB, ITS
office positions: Key Club webmaster / Vice President, ASB Secretary, ITS webmaster

as you can see, the only thing on my app that makes me confident is my EC section, I dont really have stellar academic records

1. Do you think I have chances to my top choices? (not my DREAM schools)
2. Share some of your acceptances with us! :)

If you're rejected from UCB and/or UCSC, a good part of the reason is probably that they're accepting less and less students due to budget cuts (and the accepted students may have a higher GPA). I know for UCB, the average gpa is like 3.9-4.0+ for incoming freshman.
I was going to apply to UCB as a transfer student, but then chose not to since the majority of private colleges (like the UC's) aren't doing so well with the cuts.

So private school it is! I'm waiting for my acceptance letter too.

smart choice :) Especially since privates look for more well rounded individuals than the typical UC or CSU system. May I ask what private school did you apply too?

I'm applying to USF. But seriously, they accept virtually everyone haha.

I agree with Tina in that you'll probably have a good chance with UCD and Pomona though. (:
