Yeah i know, big achievement right?
It was kinda weird... I was checking my email and saw I had two from UC Riverside. The newer one said congratulations on it and I was like... did i get in already? Then I open it up and it said that I had been admitted. The older one was just a reminder that they were going to announce the admissions today. I told my parents and my mom was really happy for some odd reason.
Then I wondered... where is Riverside? so i Google mapped it. Its right next to LA, if anyone was wondering.
My sister told me that if I only get into UCR I should go to De Anza because she has been there and said it was boring and all the kids are sad down there. I'm not really thinking about that right now though because I still have 10 more colleges to hear back from.
I'm kinda happy because now I can tell people I got into college. My first letter back was an acceptance, so that's good right? I know UCR isn't a great school, but it feels good to know that ONE college wants me.

Congratulations!
ReplyDelete...though you will definitely get into many schools besides Riverside.
That said, can't wait to hear the results that actually matter!
Speaking of which, here's some good news: UCLA is building four new residence halls in the next few years, so I think they might be able to increase admissions this time around.
excellent!
ReplyDeleteexcept i think they are cutting back admissions b/c of budget cuts :(
Actually, I'm not sure how admissions will be affected by budget cuts.
ReplyDeleteI don't know what to make of it, but I heard UCLA is increasing the guaranteed housing time from three years to four years for next year's freshman class.
Maybe that's a good sign?
No, b/c they have more housing because they are letting LESS people in
ReplyDeleteUCLA is accepting ~35 fewer students this year, which is better than at Davis, Irvine and San Diego (they're cutting between 200-500 each). The only UCs that are accepting more this year are Berkeley and Merced.
ReplyDeleteHrmm, well, it's not as bad as it could have been.
ReplyDeleteAnd there are SO many people here who aren't nearly as academic as either of you.
Seriously, they seem to care more about partying than about their education.
I'd be really disappointed if UCLA didn't acknowledge that you deserve to be here more than those types of people.
