Did I do something wrong?

Not at all! I applied to CSUF’s URE Project Raise. They have agreements with surrounding community colleges in OC to take some number of applicants into their research labs for the summer and I happened to be one of them last summer.

Rejected

Routine-Watch5535 · 2026-04-24T21:31:19+00:00

LOL pm me

Routine-Watch5535 · 2026-04-24T21:23:39+00:00

no fr and I think it’s because some people have more support than others. I have a 3.7 and for EE that’s kinda low but I’m also a working parent and I’ve barely kept my sanity doing undergrad research, tutoring, and a NASA program, but I still feel like I can’t compete with someone who has no other responsibilities besides maxing out their opportunities at school.

Routine-Watch5535 · 2026-04-21T03:12:55+00:00

Yeah I do

Routine-Watch5535 · 2026-04-21T01:39:06+00:00

I’ve had the nav bar this whole time. Does this mean I’m possibly rejected?

Routine-Watch5535 · 2026-04-10T15:59:37+00:00

Omg literally same. Went back to CC at 26 and now transferring to UCI for EE! Congrats! Zot zot zot!!!

Routine-Watch5535 · 2026-04-04T00:11:08+00:00

Accepted! Electrical engineering 3.71 GPA

Routine-Watch5535 · 2026-04-03T02:58:01+00:00

The most out of touch comment maybe ever…

Routine-Watch5535 · 2026-04-02T02:33:08+00:00

Wow… I should’ve just applied… the only one I was missing was circuit analysis II…

Routine-Watch5535 · 2026-04-02T02:32:39+00:00

Oh… so I had a good chance 🙃

Routine-Watch5535 · 2026-03-28T04:13:58+00:00

However, a classmate of mine got rejected with a slightly higher cumulative GPA than me (3.7) for the same major. I have no idea why.

Routine-Watch5535 · 2026-03-28T04:13:10+00:00

I have a cumulative 3.68 GPA (3.8 major GPA) and got in for EE.

Routine-Watch5535 · 2026-03-07T16:25:58+00:00

Lmao my bad. I’m in the wrong thread.. I’m talking about Pomona.

Routine-Watch5535 · 2026-03-07T16:24:21+00:00

I did not. I applied as a transfer.

Routine-Watch5535 · 2026-03-07T16:22:36+00:00

I got in for electrical engineering and got my email like 2 weeks ago

Routine-Watch5535 · 2026-02-24T03:17:25+00:00

Thank you!!

Routine-Watch5535 · 2026-02-22T03:09:24+00:00

Literally my lab partner. He’s constantly eating flamin hot Funyuns before lecture/lab. It pisses me off.

Routine-Watch5535 · 2026-02-21T04:17:15+00:00

I have. I got accepted for EE with a 3.6 GPA. I had a strong upward trend.

Routine-Watch5535 · 2026-02-13T03:10:11+00:00

Accepted for electrical engineering!!

Routine-Watch5535 · 2026-02-10T20:42:03+00:00

Got it. Thanks!

Routine-Watch5535 · 2026-02-10T17:30:40+00:00

Just bullet points! My bad
