They are just basic questions like "what are your hobbies?" and "what volunteer experiences do you have?" It's only 1 true essay.

You can submit an unfinished essay to see the other essays and then go back and finish the first one.

Here are all the essay questions:

1. Main essay: Please describe how you have explored the profession of Pharmacy, and UCSD in particular, to determine this is the career path for you.


2. Small essays (200 words each)

-Describe any organizations or activities at school in which you have participated, and highlight any achievements for which you were recognized or leadership positions.

-Describe any community service related activities for which you have volunteered, and highlight any accomplishments.

-Describe hobbies, recreational interests or other personally rewarding activities in which you participate, and elaborate on their importance to you.

 -Sharing intellectual interest is an important aspect of professional life. Describe a book, class, or activity that you find intellectually exciting and specify your reasons.

-Other Information (optional):You may use the space below to tell us anything else you would like us to know about you.

Hope this helps!

I just want to make a correction to the above statement. The word limit to the small essays (Biographical Statement) is actually 250 words. This is the message I got after going over the word limit: "You've exceeded the 250 word limit!"

I don't think it's bad. If you have some explanation to do or w/e, you should definitely write it there. I did it for all of my apps.

Did anybody else not notice this section like me?

"A minimum overall GPA of 3.0 is required for application. In addition, a minimum average GPA of 3.0 is needed for each category of required science courses (Chemistry, Organic Chemistry, Biology and Physics)."

Great.

But apparently admissions said that if my overall cum GPA was above 3.0 it wouldn't disqualify my application..

so lets hope...

If not then I just lost valuable time and supplemental money :[

it wouldn't disqualify but does that make an applicant less competitive compared to others? i could already feel the disappointment even before they made their decision...

For those you who mailed in the supplemental fee postmarked on Oct 31 or Nov 1, has UCSD notify you that they received it yet?

I talked to a Skaggs student last year and she was trying to encourage me to apply. She said something along the lines of "as long as you don't have any Cs or lower in your upper div sciences, you have a chance!" I got a C+ in Genetics. Yahh...I'm not expecting anything other than a rejection letter from UCSD.

Did you receive your confirmation email yet? My friend never got the email, but when she checked her bank account, UCSD withdrew the fee already.
