Kind of reiterating what the person above me said, but the essays are the MOST important part of the application, from what I’ve seen. It doesnt matter if some kid has a 2400 sat score a 4.0 UW gpa, if their personal statement sucks, they will probably get rejected. At some point I think that schools really just use gpa and scores to make sure a student is qualified and capable and then move on to strictly whether they want that student to be at their school - based off personality learned through essays and EC’s i think. Know what I mean? Prestigious schools like UCLA have the luxury of looking past just test scores and GPA. They admit who they want.
