I applied at A LOT of campuses:
Right out of HS:
UC Riverside- took pity on me and accepted me.
UCLA- rejected
Should of applied to USC bcause my dad went to Norte Dame but i figured if he is paying he won't pay for USC...to him that is sac religious when it comes to football......hehehe
Went for my AA degree and transfer classes first. After my Associate degree/transfer: accepted at all four.
Oklahoma State University
Univ of Arkansas
U of Utah
Clemson
I got into all of them except for the hometown favorite i was kinda of holding out for ...ucla
University of Arkansas at Fayetteville is where i went. Low tuition even for an out of state student and great Political Science dept. It is great when your advisor looks like Jeff Gordons twin brother.
