I'm not exactly sure how much information is too much information but I will say that I am Freshman, in California, attending one of the campuses in the UC system.
Part 1:
I remember before Fall, trying to decide if rushing/Formal Recruitment would be the best for me. On a whim, I submitted my application and fee a couple of hours before the deadline without any education or knowledge of what I was truly getting myself into. As it came closer to week of events, I received an email that I would have to take a
mandatory writing exam and wait for it... it fell on the same morning of the first
mandatory meeting for recruitment. I immediately emailed the Miss in charge and she said that there would be a recruitment counselor in contact with me by the next day. The call never came so I tried to email her back about not being sure of what to do in this situation. There was never a reply. By this time Recruitment was heading into it's second day. That was the end of that, I guess.
After seeing the other girls, come back to the dorms from recruitment, I knew INSTANTLY that I would have been unprepared and not much competition.
But was it happening just like 'this' a blessing or a curse?
[Sorry, this may seem kind of ridiculous but I want to give a bit of a feel on my situation. I've read the threads. I'm not asking to be chanced or anything like that because as I progress on with this, it will be pretty obvious to you and I both. What I do need and what I would be grateful for is help and advice. Thank you.]
