<p>[li] Personal Statement:[/ul] I spent 2 months on it. I started in in the beginning of Sept and finished it in Nov. I guess it helped me a lot to. The first prompth is about my stuggles on language (I am an immigrant) from the first day of school. The second one is about how I am a big sister and those duties I have to do for my parents due to language barrier and I ended it with how much I love my brother and sister. I like the ending a lot though. One of my best essays (another best one was the one on The Great Gatsby I wrote in my American Dream class…) </p>[/li]

[li] Why you think you were accepted/waitlisted/rejected:[/ul] I definitely was thinking that I would be rejected, so I was a little scared to log on to view the decision. I thought I would be a supplemental info request but I did not. I got an email yesterday but I just checked my email today. </p>[/li]
<p>General Comments: This is like a drem/ my 1st acceptance btw/ now I have some hope for other UCs/ my application was more complicated so don’t judge me by what you see here…this is a summary/ I really believe my PS made me get in, it was not that great to the point that people would cry when they read but it was very touching I belive./ </p>
<p>For high school juniors, everybody has a hook in his life, you just have to really find one and be serious about it. Once you start writing about something personal, or even your secrets that you never tell anyone, it will flow automatically. The best is to start a PS early, not the week before you submit(lots of my friends are like this, procrastinators).</p>

Personal Statement: Took me roughly around 3 months to complete the 2 UC essays. I received advice and tips from my private counselor, but all of the work came from my own head and thinking. Let’s see…for the first essay, I wrote about my personal experience living with an autistic child for 3 days, where I had to take care of him as a parent. Life changing experience is all I’m going to say on this post. For the other essay, I wrote about my interest in Computer Science and how my father positively pushed me into that field of learning.

<p>Anyone (or know of anyone) majoring in Business Economics that got in?</p>
<p>@newyorkmydrems
I applied to UCB, UCLA, UCI, UCSC, UCD, and UCSD. What about you?</p>
<p>I only heard from one so I am not sure but I will probably have to go to UCLA if I get accepted because it’s closer to my house and because of other reason (but I don’t like the majors) </p>
<p>but UCI is also one of my top choices because of major, and environment.</p>
<p>At this point I kinda don’t care whether I get accepted to Davis, SC, and SD
SC and Davis are too far
SD is still ok but it’s too far way down there but I like the 6 colleges system it’s kinda cool. but I like UCI better, like a quiet city
UCB is an exception even if it’s far because of you know, pretty famous and I like its business school there, like the major</p>
<p>@Pencil. i applied business/econ to UCI and got accepted on february 28th</p>
<p>Any transfers get decisions yet?</p>
