| Postergirl, that story sounds a little similiar to mine! I too had a high GPA, decent SATs, various awards, and sports and school activities on my list. Yet I got rejected by UCLA, UCSD, UCB and SLO. Imagine how upset I was when I found out my best friend, who had a lower GPA and no sports (but more leadership activities) got into UCLA! We we in the same honors classes! The only deciding factor I could think of was she declared a major and I didn't. To this day I still have the ashes of those burned rejection letters. |
