<p>How competitive is the SAn Diego market? I've been looking at past threads, and I never came across a San Diegan applicant... Also how are the essays being looked at? Are they to be as good as personal statements (Uc's) ?</p>
<p>I just applied from the San Diego market! I would assume San Diego’s pretty competitive but probably not quite as competitive as LA, OC, NY ect. From looking at other threads it looks like the essays are sort of personal statements.</p>
<p>I’m not entirely sure what market area I’m in but im in Orlando. I’m nervous because on the app it said your recommendation letter must have your request id, home telephone number and your full name. Well since I submitted my letter with my app I didn’t get my request id until after and I don’t have a home phone number. My teacher did use my full name however. I’m worried that this might disqualify my application.</p>
