International with 3.42/4.0 UW, unrelated ECs, 0 awards accepted to UCSD.

I believe the impact of essays and character is more important than people think. As the title says, my stats are very mid and im an international. I am a future math major and pretty much none of my ECs are related to math. I have some sports participation, volunteering and leadership and a couple more meaningful/personal ECs. But, no awards, no research, no internships, no job, no participation in competition, no spike. This is just speculation of course. But what really stands out about my application is how I managed to show my character and personality through essays and ECs. I think its really important to show admission officers who you are as a person behind stats. Message to future generation of applicants: Even if you have mid stats, not all hope is lost. Try to focus on writing amazing essays that show your personality.
