Admitted to University of California—Irvine…you actually want to go to them or want to use them for scholarship negotiations. My second and final piece of advise is that this process really is a numbers game (to an extent). There are exceptions for URM or impressive softs, but that’s not the situation for the majority of applicants. Look at your stats twins…

…Podcast PowerScore (they did incredible one-offs on scholarship reconsideration and some other important topics) Apply broadly, I mean broadly. Reaches, targets, and safeties.
