[/ul]General Comments: If you want to go to UCSD, work hard. Don’t let your grade slip. Stats are not solely what get you in, many people complain about how they were better because of an 8.0 and 2600 on the SAT, if you have minimal/awful/worthless Extracurriculars and Volunteer Service and even Awards/Honors, you CAN get rejected. Focus on everything, never letting your grades and scores suffer. Good Luck ^^

Mm… see “Strengths.”[/li][/ul]General Comments: Find something you love and dedicate your entire being to it! Kinda cheesy, but if you find the right thing and keep following through, you’ll get there. “Reach for the moon–even if you miss, you’ll land among the stars.” I def recommend reading Cal Newport’s books, too. They helped me a LOT.

OTHER
[ *] Applied for Financial Aid?: Yes
[ *] Intended Major: Environmental Systems (Ecology, Behavioral, and Evolution)

[ *] Country (if international applicant):
[ *] School Type: Public, magnet (with community college)
[ *] Ethnicity: Asian
[ *] Gender: Female
[ *] Income Bracket: $60k
[ *] Hooks (URM, first generation college, research, etc.):

REFLECTION
[ *] Strengths: 1) The fact that I received my first Associates in Arts degree from community college before my senior year, received three more during my first semester of senior year and two more my second semester. 2) How I take college classes instead of AP classes to gain college credit and experience. 3) Extra-curriculars that show my true passion as a whole to help the underprivileged.
[ *] Weaknesses: SATs (before I start to get ridiculed…)

GENERAL COMMENTS:
Miracles are real! Great thing about UCs is that SATs are not as heavily emphasized as they are in privates. Be yourself. You don’t have to stand out among sixty thousand applicants, but you can stand out among twenty five applicants. Make yourself unique. Everyone will have the same SATs scores and everyone will have the same GPA. It’s your job to make yourself look like a teenager who has a motive and a passion for college, and not look like another typical teenager who has no idea what they want to do.

sleepdeficit · March 18, 2012, 7:36am
