<p>This feels like deja vu...</p>

<p>UCLA/UCB: Match
UCSD: Safe match/safety
UCI: Safety
UCR: Super safety with safe frosting on top</p>

<p>haha i'm sorry. I noticed I posted this in the wrong forum last time and was only asking about UCLA so thought I'd repost to see chances of other schools.</p>

<p>Just wondering, with my stats as they are, how important are personal statements?</p>

<p>I wouldn't exactly skimp on your statements, but I think you could probably write "I don't feel like writing a personal statement" and still get into UCR with your stats.</p>

<p>As for the rest, just do your best. A bang-up job on your statements might help net you some good funding.</p>

<p>Oh of course I'm going to try and make my essays decent at least, but I just don't want them to hurt my chances.</p>

<p>Would leaving the additional comments box blank hurt me? I have no idea why I'm leaving this last minute....</p>

<p>Good GPA, strong scores (though the CR and W could be brought up), slightly weak ECs.</p>

<p>Berkeley: slight reach - high match
UCLA: high match
UCSD: safe match - safety
UCI/UCR: safety</p>

<p>Sooo i'm getting really nervous for some reason..
The applicants to UCLA/UCB all have stats similar/better than mine so ECs will have more affect on if I get in or not right? So since mine aren't too great my chances of getting into either one aren't too high huh... ahhhh</p>

<p>In at all UC's.</p>
