Was anyone required to write and essay for transfer waitlist at UCSD. Davis waitlisted me and I had to write one and was confused why there wasn’t one for UCSD. Can anyone explain why this is?
UCSD stopped asking for a waitlist essay a couple of years ago. UCD is the only school that has a mandatory essay while UCLA and UCB are optional.
Why no essay? Maybe they found that essays did not change how they admit off the waitlist?? Maybe they have all the information needed to make their decisions?
If you are concerned, call admissions and ask.
Thank you!
There’s only so many essays they can read before they jump off a bridge. And all anyone ever writes in a waitlist letter is how much they love the campus. Blah blah blah,
