I agree that the number is just a number. Try to understand it and move on, but don't dwell on it. Good luck w/ getting the numbers back down in check! Hope your day gets better and get some rest too!

Not all engineers go to UCLA, there must be other schools. Good luck with the numbers and getting into another school.

Whew! You'll be *there* soon!

Sorry to hear about the school but I know a lot of people who switched out of engineering (University of Illinois, birthplace of the transistor!) and have done a lot of other interesting things. One is a psychiatrist who lives in New Zealand now and another one is an astronomer who studies lightning on Venus at the VLA in New Mexico.

Hi Boshra,

Sorry about UCLA. I really sympathize! I didn't get into the school I wanted to go to either (years ago). Wishing you the best in pursuing alternate plans!

And congratulations on getting you numbers down!

Best wishes,
