Hahaha, well, all of your comments make me feel a little better, but regardless, that was a really stupid mistake to make.
When I was applying to colleges, I forgot to send my addendum explaining what I did with my summers to pretty much every school except for the one I ended up attending.
It was also one of three I got into.
Worked out fine, but I'm pretty sure I could have gotten in to even better schools had I included it.
Moral of the story: fuckups happen. Don't sweat it, it'll work out.

Well, I do feel much better having gotten in to one school, even if it isn't near my top choice.

Where'd you hear back from already? I REALLY want to hear back soon- I wish I hadn't retaken just so I could have submitted applications earlier.

If that's the case, why are you worrying in the UCLA thread? I take it you are aiming for CCN.

Actually, my top choices are UMich, Berkeley, Cornell and, yes, Chicago. Fingers crossed that I get in to one of those four. However, I would still like to get in at UCLA because I would definitely consider attending.

ucla doesn't have a status checker. they'll send you a 'received' email, and then a 'complete' one. the next correspondence will be your decision letter.

Didn't mention a scholarship, so I'm assuming none.

Me too. I've been consoled by not expecting replies until late Nov/ Early Dec. Now I'm nervous.
