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 550 words or less.
