<p>Hi there and good luck 
I think this may help you in planning essays among other things:</p>
<p>[Application</a> Review Process - Freshmen](<a href=“http://www.ucsd.edu/prospective-students/freshmen/eval-process.html]Application”>http://www.ucsd.edu/prospective-students/freshmen/eval-process.html)</p>
<p>sorry if u already know this info. UCSD picks applicants on a point system and I remember looking at a better list of how they award points, but if my information is inaccurate or out of date (and it shouldn’t be as I just went through the app. process) sorry.</p>
<p>Best of Luck!</p>
