I feel your pain, bro.
When I was missed the Fall 04 admission deadline into SDSU, I was damned furious as well. Then I saw all the hoops I would have to jump through to appeal for Fall 04
and double up my class schedule to get the classes I needed...it helped me gain perspective. And as lame as it is to linger around in Marin for another year, at least I'll have everything done- far beyond the IGETC curriculum.

We have a summer term at College of Marin if you're interested BTW. Despite budget cuts, there should be a decent number of spaces left...check our catalog out at
http://marin.cc.ca.us. Since our classes will also transfer, you can get things ironed out in terms of credits and make it in for Fall 04 at UCSB.
Keep your head up.
