UCSB SRA (Summer Research Academies) 2024

I understand why I’m waitlist too :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :sweat_smile:

I mean it’s not all just grades. ECs matter too, but then again, even my grades don’t compare.
I might as well prepare myself to be on the waitlist, but I would prefer it if SB could take me out of the darkness by telling me earlier.

I got accepted to track 6 yesterday. I’m in 9th grade, gpa 4.05 uw. It’s my first choice so I’m happy!

But they didn’t ask for ECs. Did they?

I mean isn’t that what you put in your essay?

Nice! I put track 6 as my second choice(I’m a soph btw)

Also, if you don’t mind, when did your application go under review? It’s been 2+ weeks for me and I haven’t heard back yet and I’m getting nervous.

Hi! My application went under review on 1/22 so it’s been right about two weeks.

wow mine went under review on the 22nd as well. hopefully I get mine soon

Good luck! I hope you get in soon!

!I didn’t do that

Wait but I’ve never written a personal statement before that I’m not a trustworthy source of information on the formula for a personal statement.

Not much, read books about bio and joined the research club. And cross country running plus designing computer hardware.

I don’t have big projects like what you mentioned
