<p>Does this mean that if I wrote the worst personal statement ever that I would have the same chance of getting in than if I wrote the best one? </p>
<p>What's the point of even writing one then?</p>
<p>Just because the UC’s listed that they don’t read your personal statements would you really want to take that chance? what if they have 30 spots open and 50 applicants with similar credentials and gpa, they might take a glance at your ps’s to see who is the more qualified. You never know, therefore start writing!</p>
