I am applying UCLA too now, it seems i have the same issue with u, such as GPA, working gap and an enterpreneur experience, would very much like to hear ur advice on my strategy for application.
Thanks for your message, i tried to reply you but had some problem to send it out, dont know what's wrong, probably you did not get my reply.
I chose to write ucla's essay is because i do have some special personal and family experience and those experience affect me a lot, and i was told my first essay is quite unique.
What i worried about is my goals are not convincing and my working gap, would like to hear ur opinion if possible, reply to my mail wujie_ren(A) hotmail.com, thanks.
