Rice
University of Rochester
Berkeley
UCSD
UCLA
Riverside

University of Washington St. Louis

Rejects: MIT/Harvard :/. Whatever.

All in all, it looks like I'm heading to Berkeley this coming fall.

Cool

How does it work in the US? Do you now have to go and get specific grades in your exams for your offers to become unconditional, or are they unconditional already (ie you've got a place, you dont need to do anything else aside pay for it ?)

I like to think that whoever designed marine life was thinking of it as basically an entertainment medium. That would explain some of the things down there, some of the unearthly biological contraptions

Here, when you're accepted, you're accepted. In fact, taking standardized tests here is an important part of the acceptance process for many college, although how big the part is inflated can depend. Some people make a bigger deal out of it than it really is, some not so much.

Let me put that for you in non-typo'd English (so much for college ):

If you say, don't reach a 2.5 gp average or something after you’ve submitted your application, you can have it rescinded.

Ew, rescinded. I have a D cause I slacked off so UC Santa Cruz (Imagines cup going like ) might rescinded me. Blah.

Too bad I only applied to UCD and UCSC, except for the usual states..

UCD didn't accept me, but it smells like cows up there anyways.

Congratulations Cup_of_Lifenoodles for being offered to UC Berkeley!
Too bad I'm down in Australia, I finished my Highschool last year too and I got accepted into University of Melbourne.
Actually it's the only school I applied for, close to home, about a hour drive in the trafic lol.
I would loved to go to UC Berkeley to study, but they offer like 2 places in the whole of australia lol.
Hopefully I can get my PhD there.

I'm studying Bachelor of Biomedicine
Hoping to major in Pharmacology and Immunology
We don't start a major until 2nd year.
