BERKELEY/UCLA Personal Statement #3 Unique Answer

<p>What is the normal length/format for answers to #3 on the UC app? (Optional- tell us anything else you want us to know about you)</p>

<p>I have responded with a list of statements about myself "Top Ten Things You Might Not Know About Me", followed by explanations of these statements. It is serious, and everything I wrote is true, it just has a rather light tone in some sections, with a good number of jokes. </p>

<p>Does this sound ok? </p>

<p>Plz somebody let me know if this sounds like a good idea or not</p>

<p>Interesting.</p>

<p>While I have heard that the third essay is not needed, you have an interesting idea. However, with the wording of the prompt, there are probably a couple of students who have already attempted this idea. So it’s up to you to make it unique somehow.</p>

<p>I would be careful with the jokes. Not every admission officer would have the same sense of humor as you.</p>

<p>The UCSB rep that came to my school said NOT to do any funny/creative writing stuff- that just annoys the adcom.</p>
