<p>SO I have been doing my research and in many sites and forums (college confidential, yahoo answers). Most of them says that UCSD does NOT read personal statements and consider that as part of the admission process; however, according to their site it says that </p>
<p>"While your personal statement is only one of many factors we consider when making our admission decision, it helps provide context for the rest of your application."</p>
<p>But according to many websites, a person would state that a UCSD rep comes and directly says that UCSD does not consider personal statements as part of the admission process. </p>
<p>I worked really hard on it........... I hope this will make up for my low gpa.</p>
