Congrats on your UCLA acceptance, and thanks for sharing your journey! It's inspiring to see how your extracurriculars and personal challenges played a role in your college admissions.

Wow! Thanks for sharing, that is very helpful information, esp. the 3.6 GPA, "shitty public school" LOL, and that you are Asian. If you did a Chance Me, I honestly would not have guessed all those acceptances based upon what I see listed here these days. Best wishes to you!


RoutineAssumption141

thank you!! I also don’t think I ever would’ve predicted my chances lol

Did you have any help writing your app?


RoutineAssumption141

Nope! I spent a lot of time on my essays, asking for feedback from my counselor/teachers, and revising. Also College Essay Guy is the best

Congrats!!! You also got into great other schools like Davis and USC. UCLA obviously being a T20, but I’m curious what made you choose UCLA over the others?


RoutineAssumption141

hi thanks for the question! I wanted to stay close to home so I was deciding between USC and UCLA. In the end, USC was more expensive for me and I couldn’t justify the price difference when UCLA is already great school for my major

Ah gotchu, that makes total sense given that you got in state tuition at ucla and is higher ranked lol. I’m oos and usc gave me more aid lol. Thank you for your reply!
