reading the essays that got me into ucla, uc berkeley, ucsd

the uc application was actually my favorite but also the most time-consuming one to fill out. please do not copy or plagiarize anything, you have your own experiences and uniqueness to write about. gather up everything that has made an impact on you and just let it all out :) there is no correct way of writing. the best prompts to choose are the ones that you feel you connect with the most. if you have any questions, feel free to reach out! i'd be excited to help.

3:37 Describe an example of your leadership experience in which you have positively influenced others, helped resolve disputes or contributed to group efforts over time. 7:45 Every person has a creative side, and it can be expressed in many ways: problem solving, original and innovative thinking, and artistically, to name a few. Describe how you express your creative side. 11:09 Think about an academic subject that inspires you. Describe how you have furthered this interest inside and/or outside of the classroom. 15:42 Beyond what has already been shared in your application, what do you believe makes you stand out as a strong candidate for admissions to the University of California?

[@friedsocks2190]

this might be random, but you seem like such a beautiful person; you portray yourself so well in these essays and it's truly heartwarming and inspiring to get a sense of many different parts of your life from them, i really get a sense of your humanity alongside your achievments and i bet that's difficult to balance with a small word count in essays like these. motivating as a junior who will start drafting personal statements over the summer haha :)

Whoever is reading this and is yet to accept their ucsd admission, don’t come here especially if you’re gonna take chemistry courses, the chemistry department blows ass, if you do wanna come here don’t go to reveille college, the GE classes are different for every college and reveille has the most GEs out of them all I recommend seventh college as they have contract based grading for their GEs if you’re really gonna come here
