I recently received a supplemental questionnaire from UCLA, is this a good or bad sign? It seems like I can provide fantastic answers based on the questions that I am being asked. I have a good feeling about this considering I am only an average students who has struggled academically because of circumstances at home. However, I was honestly convinced that I produced another “rejected” application, especially if we are speaking in terms of UCLA. Does this mean something? It seems like they want to know more about me. I read that this most likely means that I am a “border-line” which is still good enough for me!!
But how do you guys feel about this? Is it a good or bad sign? Have any of your received this supplement?
Here are the questions that I have been asked…
In your application you may have mentioned an extraordinary talent/skill or academic achievement. This may include participation in Junior Olympics, national debate competitions, recognition for musical talent, etc. Please take this opportunity to share with us more detailed information about the level of your achievement, depth of participation, and passion for this particular area.
Please describe any special circumstances that you would like us to consider that may have affected your ability to achieve academically. This may include personal circumstances, family experiences, and opportunities that were or were not available at your school or home. If you participated in an educational preparation program (i.e, EAOP, Talent Search, Upward Bound, PUENTE, etc.) please describe your level of involvement and how each program was beneficial to you.
