<p>I was waitlisted to UCSD and they want us to write a 200 worded letter on why we would like to attend UCSD. </p>
<p>Does anyone know if we should be writing this seriously or just a casual reason to why we would like to attend this school?
Should we make it something that isn't so common like the uc personal statement?
Any ideas?</p>
<p>General guidelines on how to write the waitlist statement:</p>
<p>Why you are the right student for UCSD. For example, what characteristics, personalities, traits do you bring to the campus? How will you contribute to the student body and/or the campus community? </p>
<p>Why is UCSD right for you? For example, what unique opportunities will the campus offer you that you cannot get anywhere else and how do you intend to take advantage of those opportunities?</p>
