Applicant's Advice
"Essays really matter—try hard on all of them, not just reaches. Show personality and non-academic interests, not just research/awards. Don't apply test-optional to UCs without test scores. Try on interviews and supplemental essays; effort shows. No targets/safeties strategy is risky."
