<p>whatever will be will be …</p>
<p>do they tell me how many points you have if you get rejected ???</p>
<p>True, but the more difficult the school, the harder to achieve higher grades. It may not be counted in points, but is that taken into consideration?</p>
<p>no clue, but let’s hope that’s true. </p>
<p>UCSD’s the only university I know that publicly show prospective students their rubric…</p>
<p>omg seriously? we have to wait another week?</p>
<p>In the UCSD score sheet I don’t see anything with essays. Does that mean that essays don’t count towards our score? Our was that only last years? </p>
<p>I wonder how the essays will be counted in if they’re considering a holistic review now . =/</p>
<p>UCSD reads essays to find areas where they can apply points. For example, if you wrote about the death of a family member, you get 500 points in trauma. If you wrote about an excellent achievement (first place nationals, USAMO), then you get points in the talent/awards section.</p>
<p>Dunno now if they’re using a “holistic” review. I doubt it’s a big difference.</p>
<p>For example, if you wrote about the death of a family member, you get 500 points in trauma. </p>
<p>I think this is a little ridiculous, the GPA is being multiply by 1000 to get the points on the GPA part, so a student has a 4.0 GPA would get 4000 points, and a student has a 3.5 GPA would get 3500, how can they equate a 0.5 difference in GPA with a trauma ???</p>
<p>Scored 7914 on the UCSD score sheet. Can it be enough?</p>
<p>ok guys, i’m blocking collegeconfidential on my browser. i realized this whole anxiety thing doesn’t help when i’m wasting time on a forum, eek. all this valuable time could be wasted on facebook. jk. anyway, good luck on your endeavors, guys! see y’all when decisions are out…</p>
<p>
Am I naive to believe that UCSD is the only public university with an elaborate rubric?</p>
<p>Lesser publics probably just have a SAT/GPA chart and forget ECs or the personal statement. More selective publics are “holistic”.</p>
<p>The UCSD rubric and point crunching system gives me headaches. It makes me wonder if those admissions officers have brittle fingers from all the calculator use. -.-</p>
<p>Haha, I totally agree with JelloBiafra.</p>
<p>On a side note, I had a dream that I got admitted to UCSD, no lie. Then I woke up and almost started crying because it felt so real.</p>
<p>These college admissions dreams seem to be a recurring thing for me; just last week I had a dream that I got into Reed College, my second choice. -___-</p>
<p>Alright guys, college diet for me until April, when I have all my decisions. See y’all in a couple weeks and good luck with decisions. Haha.</p>
<p>@Kings, maybe two hours? It’s been a few years since I’ve gone.</p>

<p>Did you see a lot of depressed students?</p>
<p>Geisel library looks a lot like the building in the final dream level in Inception, lol.</p>
<p>And I’ve yet to visit UCSD, since I live about 10 hours away by car D: I really want to visit the campus!</p>
<p>@pope: no…</p>
<p>@kings: kind of. Mostly just tired haha. Eighth story is eerily silent. in the shuttle students were talking about finals and papers. Some girl is starting a 15 page research paper tonight that’s due tomorrow…</p>
