<p>Apparently there is going to be a UC personal statement workshop early next week, and I was wondering what I should expect. </p>
<ul>
<li>Will I be able to sit down with someone and go through my essay with them?</li>
<li>Is it more of a seminar with general guidances?</li>
<li>Is it useful? (I ask this on behalf of the CCC'ers who are busy balancing work / school / etc)</li>
</ul>
<p>I'm asking this because I want to plan my applications process accordingly.</p>
<p>Hopefully some De Anza Alumni, or anyone who has attended the program really, can chime in on this. </p>
<p>Hopefully I don't sound like I'm trying to be too pretentious...this app rush is kind of getting to me.</p>
<p>i’ve been to afew and iono what to tell u
its more like a seminar…
they basically explain the questions…
read some examples…
give u afew ideas…
basically if u already know what admissions wants to expect from ur essay taylored for ur major… it won’t help much
if u don’t its better than u ask what the admissions for ur major is specifically looking for</p>
<p>lets say berkeley haas they really wanna see leadership in ur essay or EC as much as possible… english and others are really different…</p>
<p>but hey if u already have an idea what to write on and have some momentum on it… a small gust of wind is not gonna push ur swing any higher…</p>
<p>i heard other people talk about being able to sit down and talk thru ur essay or let them edit or w/e
but of all of them i’ve been to…
LOL I WISH</p>
<p>i had to bail on the one i was supposed to go to, but i’ll definitely be going to the writing workshop and app workshop next week. def will update then</p>
