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! :)

the trick when applying to college is to see which department each college is weak in. that's where you should apply your major to be. yeah gpa and sat scores matter somewhat, but not really. it all depends what major you are applying under alot too. and personal statement plays a huge role. most incoming freshmans don't understand that you can always change your major later on when you get accepted.

ps. i don't think i got lucky. you can't get lucky 4 times. UCI, UCB, UCD, and UCSD are all pretty tough UC's to get into, considering my GPA and sat scores.

pps. 78.6%..90% makes no different. that's still like more than double the acceptance rate of all the other top UC's.

ppps. i'm not being pompous. i'm just saying don't be so proud you got into UCR. in fact i think you should go to community college for two years than transfer to a UC of your liking. why? because if you haven't heard there's a 32% tuition increase next year. Meaning instead of paying $7k a quarter, you're paying $10.5k. Why pay $10.5k a quarter for a mediocre UC. I'm not saying Davis is SOOOO much better, it's at least kinda worth it to pay that much. My advice, is to save money dude, and go to a CC. I wished I went to a CC for my first two years. Hell I would have saved a shit load of money.
