hello! i am a 23F california resident, graduated in 2023 from UC Davis. I took my physics classes and 2 other classes at a community college after graduation. Was rejected by Davis, Washington, Oregon, and interviewed but ultimately rejected from Western. Not sure which schools im applying to this year but I need some help with seeing possible options. Also considering hiring a mentor/consultant because I am really hoping to get accepted this cycle. Thanks for your help!
