<p>I've been reading some threads on here and I just found out that UCSB and UCD don't look at personal statements for the admission process. Is this true? If so do I have to attach it to my application at all or what?</p>
<p>Yes it’s true that they don’t take your personal statement into consideration when evaluating your application. You do have to write one though- it’s just a formality.</p>
