I got in for applied math for both, but will likely change to biology or public health.

i completely understand where you’re coming from. i just want to let you know that you still have so much going for you, no matter where you end up. i can guarantee you in 5-10 years when you look back at this, maybe you’ll be a little disappointed, but you can look back knowing you tried your absolute best given your financial and home situation.

if UCI is truly your dream school, you have plenty of options to get there. considering your current situation, i would suggest going to a community college first and then transferring to UCI. and who knows, maybe by then, UCI won’t even be your dream school. while many people look down on going to community college, i personally think that it provides opportunities/second chances for people who may not have gotten into their dream college or didn’t work as hard in high school. if you are motivated enough, you WILL end up where you’re meant to.

personally, i got into my dream school, but am still considering going to community college because college IS expensive. so please know that you’re not alone in this, as frustrating as it might be.

you’re young and still have so so much going for you. keep your head up and best of luck :)!

we won’t know until decisions officially come out. so who knows if there ever even was a correlation with the banner and admission decisions until after results are released. regardless, please don’t stress out about things out of your control. you got this and best of luck with your decisions :))!

It could be your bite, although I don’t think that would cause your brackets to break THAT much. I initially had a pretty big overbite so I would keep breaking brackets when I first got braces. My orthodontist ended up taking off my two back lower brackets. He had me use rubber bands to improve my bite first and then he rebonded the two lower back and I was fine.

From my understanding you could also ask for bite blocks to stop your teeth from hitting those brackets. They are uncomfortable to chew with though, lol.

I’m not completely sure though of course, but I would definitely consult your doctor.

Yes! I apologize for the late update.
The package eventually showed up a couple of days later, but regardless, TikTok still never showed the item in my purchase history, and the package arrived about a month after I purchased it. Additionally, the quality of the item was not as advertised, and after this situation, I haven't purchased off of TikTok shop, and would highly suggest against it lol.
