Personal Insight Questions.pdfThe UC Personal Insight Questions are very different from your typical college admissions essay... because they are NOT an essay!
The Personal Insight Questions are one of many pieces of information used in reviewing your application. While these questions are one important piece, an admission decision is not made on your responses alone.
There are 8 prompts, and you will choose 4 to write and submit with your application. Use this helpful 2-sided worksheet to review the questions and writing tips.
As you thought about these questions, were there any topics that seemed particularly interesting? You might consider answering those questions as part of your application. But the choice is yours! Take your time in selecting which questions to answer and how to answer them. For more information, visit our website at ucal.us/personalquestions
