<p>And what else should I add , explain ? </p>
<p>Prompt:</p>
<p>a. An explanation of the problem(s) in the quarters that led to your academic disqualification
b. A description of what you have been doing in your time away from UC San Diego to prepare you for readmission (you
can attach supporting documentation)
c. A plan of action you intend to follow should you be readmitted, including any support systems and strategies you will
utilize</p>
<p>I typed this up on note pad, so excuse the slight disorganization here…</p>
<p>Hi, my name is (). I have decided to change my major from Electrical Engineering to Physics
I’m writing this letter to gain readmission into UCSD.</p>
<p>In my first two quarters at UCSD I failed to attain a GPA of 2.0 for two consecutive
quarters, and regret it. I blame nobody but myself for my poor academic performance, which resulted in me earning a
significantly low GPA. I attribute my academic failure on inefficient time management. Because of that, I did not seek help when I needed it. I did not make time to attend discussion sessions or interact with my TA’s or professors
during their available office hours. I also failed to take advantage of the extra tutoring offered within the ece department, as well as not interacting with other students.</p>
<p>During my time away from UCSD, I attended () for one semester and one summer session.
I managed to earn a 3.75 GPA. The classes I took helped me discover my change in major physics. Classes in geology
and astronomy interested me (because in those fields, physics has many applications, especially geology), so I studied hard in these classes and interacted with my instructors and peers to gain more insight
and understanding. I made sure to review my class notes every day, read my text-book before arriving to class and to ask
questions. Having said that, I was able to manage my time more efficiently, consequently doing well on all my exams and assignments.</p>
<p>My academic failure has been a valuable learning experience for me. From now on, I will stay on campus for longer hours to make sure I work more
closely with my academic advisers and to seek assistance when I need it. I will spend these hours attending my professor’s and TA’s office hours; I will also attend
discussion sessions for problem solving and review of class material. Prior to class, I will read ahead in my textbook to enable better preparation for lectures, and solve homework problems beforehand, to better understand what I need help with. From there, I will ask questions and begin interacting with my TA’s and professors.
Having said that, I plan on changing my major to Physics. I have developed a new interest in physics. </p>
<p>I value the opportunity of getting a college education, and it means a lot to me in my life, because
I am the first person in my family to attend college.</p>
<p>In conclusion, I thank you for your time and consideration in reading my personal statement.</p>
