If I apply for Sixth College, would I have a better chance of getting into UCSD?

Question

I'm applying for colleges this coming Fall and I know that Revelle is most difficult to get into and I was wondering if Sixth (being the newest) would be the easiest to get into.

Answer 1

All of the colleges at UCSD are difficult to get into, and since they each have different graduation requirements, it's best to apply to the one that you feel "fits" you best.

The key to admissions with any of the UC's is to do a very good job with your personal statement essays. It is not too early to start working on them know. Additionally, the UC admissions site has some information on how UCSD's system of comprehensive review - check it out at www.ucop.edu/pathways.

Good luck!
