<p>hey, did you guys get a letter from UCSD stating "We are seeking additional information from you to determine if you meet our selection criteria and if you possess the academic ability, preperation, and motivation to suceed in UCSD's rigorous academic program"
they give me a link to do it.
Does everybody get it? Or is it just only some people?
and if it is only some people, why us? is it a good thing, or a bad sign that you wont make it because they want more information on you?</p>
<p>Only some people. Its a mixed signal. On the one hand, it means that your application, as it stands, was not strong enough to gain admission to UCSD. On the other hand, it WAS strong enough so that the admissions office was willing to give you another shot and seek additional information. This is where you try and wow them with senior year events, supplemental information that you didn't have room to put on your original app...all those kinds of things that you think will be able to convince them to admit you. Good luck with your admissions.</p>
<p>but did they already review my application this early? thanks peppers.</p>
<p>Yes, that means they did.</p>
<p>ok the website is like broken down or something, and now I am freaking out because it needs to be done by February 1, and it is a "critical part of our final admissions decision"
did anyone else get this letter? and is the website working?
here, maybe you guys can try this website to see if it works, if it does work let me know. </p>
<p>Your best option now is to prepare some of the stuff you will be putting on the survey now so that you're ready when the site comes back up. If you search the forum (like from last year's posts), there were a couple of people with this issue, so you might be able to get some insight on what they had to put last year.</p>
<p>do you have any links to the past threads? Because I can't seem to figure out the right search terms to find these threads. Thanks peppers, you've really been a big help. But I am still freaking out because of the down website. lol. Do you think it will be fixed?</p>
<p>Wait I Didnt Get One Is That Bad?!</p>
<p>It's not necessarily bad that you didn't get one -- the majority of people won't.</p>
<p>If you're deemed well-qualified at the start, you'll be admitted. If you're well below their standards, you'll be denied. If you're somewhere in the middle, they'll offer you a chance to show off anything you didn't before.</p>
<p>whats below the standards ?</p>
<p>Dude stop freaking out. We can't tell you that for the simple reason that we don't know.</p>
<p>seriously? NO ONE ELSE has recieven this letter? Someone must of gotten this letter, so they can help me out with the website problem.
And I think the broken website is a permanent problem, not just a temporary one.
Anyone have any ideas on what I should do?</p>
<p>Call UCSD and ask yourself, they won't bite. They might put you off, but not bite.</p>
<p>hey milk, i actually received the same letter that you got, too. im as worried as you are right now :( i hope they will fix the url soon!</p>
<p>i didn't get this letter. btw I clicked on the link above, and it works.</p>
<p>i sent them an email, and they fixed it, so now it is working.</p>
