<p>I am wondering what kinda essay they are looking for. Can any successful applicants shed some light on this please?</p>
<p>Writing about how my desires and goals were in line with the program, as well as how my interest for science and research were formed and continued to advance, were successful.</p>
<p>did you get in? do you know the acceptance rate? are they looking at GPA more or essay more?</p>
<p>Yes, but I don’t know what the acceptance rate is, or what criterion is the most important.</p>
<p>If ur interested in research, I’d also recommend looking into CURE at UCLA. You get a senior/junior mentor with the org and they help you with questions like this.</p>
