@ lamelcriada: Yes you’re right, your academic accomplishments are important. However, UCLA and Cal take a holistic approach, which means that your essay will be factored into your admission decision. UCLA and Cal are the only UC’s that actually read your personal statement for admission.

@ Nickkwooddd: My personal statement included some crazy life circumstances as well. So it actually looks extra good if you have great academics despite those circumstances. It means you are well rounded vs. someone who does great in school but has had it easy going. Good luck!
