Rejected/waitlisted from all other UCs but UCI (didn’t apply to UCM or UC Riverside). Don’t give up!
Wrote about my favorite experiences (Comic Con, volunteering at the hospital, etc)
Reflection:
Strengths: Wrote about experiences that truly resonated with me
Weaknesses: Scores
Thoughts: While scores are important for college, it is important to consider what classes will allow you to learn the most and think on a deeper level. The perfect 4.0 is not the end all be all. Essays are important to show the college what you are passionate, what makes you tick. Basically, don’t write about what you think the college wants to read about, write from the heart and know that even if you get 20 rejections (or rejected from all the other UCs lol), you will end up where you are meant to be. Good luck:)
