UCLA 2019 Supplemental Questionnaire

Colleges and Universities A-Z California State University - Los Angeles
1

Hello! I was wondering if anyone had any information on what exactly the purpose behind this questionnaire was? Do I have to answer both essays prompts, especially because only one of the essay prompts relates to me or if I have to answer both? I know it’s optional so is it worth going through all the hassle or should I just ignore it? Thank You! :slight_smile:

Are you referring to the UCLA supplemental? If so, you have posted this in the Cal state LA forum.

@Gumbymom You’re right. I don’t know how I didn’t notice that the first time. Thank You.

The augmented/supplemental review is to your benefit since they want to know more about you. It can only help your chances and below is the criteria for the review. I would answer only the questions that pertain to your situation.

The criteria for referring an applicant for Augmented Review include the following:

  1. Evidence of focus on an area of special talent which may have limited a student’s time to participate in a broader range of activities.
  2. Evidence of character traits that imply a strong likelihood of making a significant contribution to campus life.
  3. Evidence of significant academic achievement or the potential for academic achievement at the University in spite of extraordinary or compound disadvantage or learning difference, or physical disability or other unusual circumstances.
  4. Evidence of significant improvement in the academic record accompanied by one or both of the following: (1) reasons for the initial poor performance; and (2) sustained and in-depth participation in educational outreach programs, which demonstrate the applicant’s commitment to succeed academically within a challenging environment.
  5. Evidence of relative lack of access to, counseling about, or support to take college preparatory, honors, Advanced Placement (AP) or International Baccalaureate (IB) classes or required college entrance examinations.

@Gumbymom Thank You! :slight_smile: Do you know if I have to fill out both essay prompts or can I just write one essay prompt? I believe one of the prompts doesn’t really apply to me.

@SaraB74: You only need to address the prompts that apply to you.
