I'm basically bragging
 

but I just can't help myself, I'm too happy!

I got into UCLA!!!!!!!!! It is a major relief having it in the bag, as opposed to people telling me "you'll get in for sure." When/if I get my acceptance letter from Berkeley, I'll have to decide between that, Santa Barbara, and LA. And now that I'm confronted with the reality of the situation, I just don't know what I want anymore.

Anyway, I'm fucking stoked!!!!

Congratulations, seriously. What are you going to be studying?

English. My plan: Become an English teacher if I can't find anything better to do along the way.

Congrats, man.

Tell me, what's the better college and what not?
I've heard of them all a lot throughout my life time through Hollywood.

congrats.

my progeny was recently accepted into a charter school. it's giving him panic attacks.

stay frosty.

congratulations! you'll do great.

Thanks all. And Norma J, I think academically the order of schools goes like this: Berkeley > LA > Santa Barbara.

congratualtions, that is excellent news. not sure i understand how the usa university system works though, here in australia we just go to what ever university we feel like.

yep, same here. it does depend on what you did before though, if you had this very technical education you can't start any university. and if you've been doing mainly languages, you might have to take extra math classes before starting science or so.

My brother went to UCLA for English. Applied to Berkeley but got denied.

Have fun being a number.

I'm frantically checking the mailbox day after day waiting to hear back from my top choice colleges. They're not really up there with Berkeley or UCLA but they're all still strong schools.

yes

Congrats!

Will do. I don't even know if I'll be getting anything in the mail. It was all online. Quite.

fucking a right!

congrats, nerd! you made it!!

best wishes w/ choice #1. ucla is a fine school for science and moviemaking if you ever change your vocation.

All of my apps were online as well but for some reason they all see fit to torture me with the wait for the USPS to arrive day-to-day. Ironic since a lot of them claim to be "going green" blah blah blah.

Where do you live/what schools did you apply to?

you should be bragging, UCLA is a very good school, one of the last vestiges of a decent education in California.. more than likely it is a better choice than Berkley..

I already said it in the post comething completely irrelevant thread, but CONGRATS!

dude, I'd go to UCLA... congrats dude.

congrats. much cheering.

UCLA > USC

congratuclations!

I live in New Jersey so they're all east coast schools, waiting to hear back from Bennington, Pratt, Hampshire, Skidmore, and Emerson. If none of them are kind in their financial aid i'll be going to SUNY Purchase for creative writing and journalism. I applied to Alfred, Champlain, Green Mountain, Goucher as safety schools and got into all of them.

Congrats! I'm applying to Berkeley for my 3rd year placement. My whole life plan revolves around getting in

nobody repped me :(...

Well good luck and congrats on your schools. I have a friend who considered going to Pratt but she decided against an east coast move.

Agreed.

Strangely, I know a girl who got into USC but not into UC Davis (one of the least competitive Universities of California).

thats a no brainer.. UCLA is full of people who worked really hard to get there.. USC is full of trust fund kids and private school elitists, many of whom are entirely retarded.. further because it is a private school the programs are much more lenient to appease the masses..

Not to mention it is way more expensive and not in the greatest area of LA.

That's because USC is crap. Really, it is. I kind of wish I'd applied to some UC's but I didn't really care what college I went to. Meh, maybe for grad scool I'll go.

I go to UCLA......University Closest to LaGrange Ave.......

I got accepted into Pratt and Bennington over the weekend. Bennington is offering me $28,000 a year to attend...I'm shocked.

Good for you!

: )

thanks!

Congrats to both of you guys.

And UCLA is so much better than USC. I always wonder why such a private school is in the bad area of L.A.

Still bragging. I got into Berkeley too!

Congrats!

Congratulation man.
