WHAT ADMISSIONS OFFICERS LOOK FOR, IN
ORDER OF IMPORTANCE:
Writing Ability: The best predictor of a student’s
survival rate in college is often her writing ability—not
just include grammar and spelling, but sentence variety
and how naturally your ideas flow.
Voice and Personality: For many schools, including
UC’s, the essay serves as a replacement for an
interview. This is your chance to give them an idea of
your personality, and what you will bring to their school.
Topic: Do you have anything interesting to say? (If
there’s something remarkable about you that can’t be
listed on your resume, this is a great chance to discuss it.)
Statement #1:
Describe the world you come from — for example, your family,
community or school — and tell us how your world has shaped
your dreams and aspirations.
Statement #2:
Tell us about a personal quality, talent, accomplishment,
contribution or experience that is important to you. What about
this quality or accomplishment makes you proud and how does it
relate to the person you are?
Additional Comments:
Use this space to tell us anything else you want us to know about
you and your academic record that you have not had the
opportunity to describe elsewhere in the application. Limit your
response to 1000 words or less. Must be at least 250 for one.
