Is the Common App personal essay the same as UC personal statement?

<p>Title says it all...</p>

<p>I’m wondering the same thing as well! Can someone provide ananswer to this please?</p>

<p>Im a transfer applicant btw.
I thought our personal essay would be the two prompts that are already told to write about. </p>

<p>What is your intended major? Discuss how your interest in the subject developed and describe any experience you have had in the field — such as volunteer work, internships and employment, participation in student organizations and activities — and what you have gained from your involvement.</p>

<p>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?</p>

<p>I got these questions at <a href=“http://www.universityofcalifornia.edu/admissions/how-to-apply/personal-statement/[/url]”>http://www.universityofcalifornia.edu/admissions/how-to-apply/personal-statement/&lt;/a&gt;
