<p>For those who were accepted into UCSD what were your stats like? Anything helps, but mostly
1. SAT/ACT
2. GPA
3. classes
4. ECs
5. volunteer;work;etc</p>

<p>What major were you admitted for and what did you talk about on your personal statement? You don't have to answer everything, anything will help. Thanks sooo much!</p>

<p>I was admitted into Psychology major and wrote terrible admissions essays, imo. I spent about an hour on each and was criticized by everyone for writing a “story” instead of an “essay” that showcased my personal strengths, characters, growths etc :stuck_out_tongue:
like Kendi Kong said, I wouldn’t get my hopes up either from any of this. Good luck on your application though!</p>
