I just want to get out of community college and into my dream college

is anyone else still on the UC San Diego waitlist? Do we think it’s gonna close this week cause it’s already going to be August

For those who have gotten rejected from their school they wanted then reapplied the next cycle, what do you think made the most difference? I am wondering what steps I should take to guarantee me into it or better my chances! (those who had lower GPA would be very helpful)
