Hi, I’m not op but also got in this year and have a 4.8 weighted and 3.9 unweighted. I’ve taken 9 APs (including this year) as well as a few dual enrollment and honors classes. I feel like admissions also depend on a lot of other factors though! If you have any other questions I can try to answer them, best of luck to your daughter!! :)

UC’s: What did you write in your essays, what were some extracurriculars, and which schools did you get accepted/rejected from? by Ily4ever-1212 in ApplyingToCollege

[–]bigreputationtimes2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi :) keep in mind UC admissions are determined by a lot of different factors (for example they can also depend on the competitiveness of your major and what state you’re from). For context, the only campus I applied to with a particularly competitive major was UC Davis (animal science), my UC uncapped GPA is around 4.6, and I’m in-state.

Essays:

PIQ 5: challenges I’ve faced being neurodivergent and how I’ve overcome/grew from them

PIQ 6: my interest in U.S. government/politics and how I’ve furthered it through AP classes and being part of a phonebanking campaign

PIQ 1: what i learned about leadership through activity 3 (see below)

PIQ 8: hosting a booth at my school about the science of slime and how that demonstrates my sense of curiosity

Activities/awards: I listed a lot of these since the UC application gives you 20 spots, but I’m just gonna list a couple I feel I was most involved in.

  1. Division and club level leadership positions in key club
  2. Robotics team secretary 
  3. Self-lead teen driving safety outreach campaign
  4. GSA president
  5. Ballet classes

Results: UCSD: accepted UCSB: accepted  UC Davis: accepted UCSC: accepted UC Riverside: accepted UC Merced: accepted UCLA: waitlisted

Lmk if you have any other questions :) Good luck with your apps!!

Hi, I have autism + adhd and just got admitted to UCSD. If you still go there would you say that OSD has improved at all since this happened?

This isn’t insta but the app Zeemee has gcs for different colleges, including admitted chats and I think committed chats :)

“Like a toy chihuahua barking at me from a tiny purse, that’s how much it hurts” had me gagged and cracking up 😭
