I have received 2 supplementals, one from ucla and the other from sd. The la one is asking about my talent and about my unique challenges, while the sd one is only asking for my challenges. I know my experience is so unique its never been experienced by anyone before (in no way is this trying to say it was harder or more important than anyone else’s). What are my odds of getting in if I a. don’t do this, b. try to manage both while doing my plethora of work from IB, and c. if I place everything else off aside and kill these supplementals?
This should answer your questions:
