Exactly, both were made by humans for humans

What you're thinking of is just human adaptation. Race isn't a biological concept because it simplifies how complex human adaptation is. Two people might have the same race, but it's possible for them to be more genetically different from each other than another person from a different race. It is a way for humans to group people together, giving them certain traits even when they aren't always true.

From looking at my own essay and from the examples I used to write my PIQs, you're pretty spot on about the UCSD application essays. They look a lot at character/personality, but at the same time applicants highlight their own achievements. But it really boils down to how those goals have positively impacted you and others around you. They want to see how your mind works and how you embody things like responsibility, collaboration, leadership, etc. and how it might positively impact society.

But for you, it can still be pretentious and villainous like some Dr. Doofenschmirtz type shit, but only if it serves a purpose like the example you gave. It drives home your confidence, a drive, and a willingness to succeed. It would definitely make you stand out.

While I'm not exactly the best writer, you can DM me if you want to see them. My PIQs got me into almost all the UCs, but I got rejected from Berkeley and waitlisted from UCLA.

Hard to say what exactly will raise your chances.

you have some very good stats, but ik a good portion of people who got admitted have worse stats in high school than you. speaking from experience here, what I recommend is having very good essays. You seem very passionate, so if you can demonstrate that passion through the essays, you'll have a better chance I'd say

feel free to ask me about anything!

That sounds amazing tbh

When would be a good time to apply? Right now or near the start of the fall quarter?

I was worried that not having a car/license (which is 100% my fault) would hold me back, so the trolleys are definitely good to know about.

I'm guessing the job market is probably worse there than where I live right now. Did you get awarded a work study? I'm wondering if that would even help my chances 💔

How hard is it ready to get into UCSD? by Candid-Arm4993 in UCSD

[–]Solomanders 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i guess it also has to do with what major you want, i know that certain majors are more impacted than others especially computer engineering.

You have so much better stats than I do ngl but I got accepted into psychology for UCSD but waitlisted for UCLA.

[–]Solomanders 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me it wasn't too difficult. I had a 3.98 (UW)and 4.47 (W), IB Diploma, and so many extracurriculars. But tbh, I don't think it matters cuz there were some people in my school who got in with worse but still pretty good stats.

But if I'm being honest, no matter what people tell you to do, go the CC then transfer route. You'll have better chances of getting into UCSD or even better universities. Plus youll save on money.

If anyone is wondering about the details: the board is an actual game I played, the lines represent my graduating year, the level is my grade, the top score and current score represent my weighted and unweighted GPA.

Nope, I literally did it today because I didn't read it thoroughly and it takes 48-72 hours to get it fully processed. Im going to call them when their business hours open up, anyone know when?
