50-year-old Invisible Woman?

This is a weird place in life to be: a 50-year-old single woman who is not a celebrity and who does not look like a model. I was married in my twenties, divorced in my twenties, was an elementary school teacher, now a librarian/archivist. I love rollercoasters and have a professional membership in a national rollercoaster organization. I have a lot of hobbies and interests, but feel socially excluded from the world in general, and particularly excluded from the world of men my age (and even older)– because why?

Hey, I’m 52, a bit of a bookworm, and loved roller-coasters until one day, one I was riding on- broke! Scary. I’m also an artist of sorts, among other things Love animals- horses, cats, and dogs, in that order

Yeah… it can be hard to meet people… if you don’t mix in where people your own age can be found. And there are so many dating clubs and services for people of all different age groups. You just have to search them out locally. It can be tough, if you don’t put the effort into it. Takes work. Dating at ANY age takes work. That never changes, sorry to say. Good luck

Me, I’m single, and looking

Do I have a chance of getting into UCLA, UC Irvine, UC Davis and UC San Diego?

College applications are approaching, and I’m thinking if I should even apply to colleges I don’t have a chance of getting into. I come from a high school that’s quite competitive, and it’s pretty hard to get into honors/ap classes. My sat score is relatively low. Do colleges specifically look at your weighted or unweighted gpa?

The UC system compars both your unqeighted and your weighted GPA’s, though they place the emphasis on your weighted GPA. You should take the SAT again, in hopes that you can improve by a hundred points or so. You have great EC’s, and you have demonstrated that you are a hard worker. A lot of volunteering, which you have, helps tremendously. You should be a shoe-in for Irvine, Davis, and San Diego, but UCLA is a stretch. If I were you, I would apply to all those schools, because you should get in to at least three of the schools in which you are applying to. I can guarantee you this much: you will be getting into any UC you apply to, with the exception of Berkeley and UCLA, even though you still have a chance.
