I previously applied to all the UC’s last year and got rejected from all accept UCSC. I changed my major from CS to DS and for some Cog Sci. Overall my stats weren’t the best but enough to get these results:

Academics : 3.72 ccc gpa, 7/10 PIQs, 10/10 ECs, 4 associate degrees, 4 paid internships.

Results:

Accepted:

SJSU

CSUMB

Cal Ploy SLO (Psych)

UCSC +scholarships

UC Merced +chancellors & transfer scholar(Committed)

UC San Diego

Rejected:

UC Berkeley

UCLA

Unknown:

Waiting on Stanford in May

It was really always down to the NorCal schools, I applied to LA and SD for shts and giggles, I never planned on going there. After the Berkeley rejection I only considered UC Davis and UC Merced. Ultimately UCM felt more supportive, it feels new and upcoming. I’m a first gen so they treat us well there and I can’t wait to join research and clubs. I also have my own car so I can go any where in the valley. I’ve never been to Yosemite so I hope I can visit often while studying and on break.

Go Cats!!

Social Media/Public Relations? Logo ideas and drafts

So I'm a current admitted transfer student and I like to create things and thought I could make a cool design for UC Merced, nothing too professional but something to create and maybe share with the university. I was wondering if I wanted to pitch or share these logos with UCM where would I go to share my sketches and logos? Their public relations team, social media team, or can I just create some stickers or shirts and share them with clubs, teams or organizations? This isn't a super big project I'm trying to do, just a side project. I think it's cool though and would like to work on in it in the mean time.
