<p>Are you guys having a tougher time with the first prompt or second? I think the first one for me is a bit more easier - since it's not as broad as the second. </p>
<p>For all of those applying to Cal, check this out: </p>
<p>The</a> Personal Statement </p>
<p>It's pretty helpful :)</p>
<p>I cannot for the life of me narrow down my topic for the second prompt! LOL</p>
<p>Thanks for the link oc 
Another good resource is: [Ms</a>. Sun’s UC Admissions Blog](<a href=“http://askmssun.livejournal.com%5DMs”>http://askmssun.livejournal.com)</p>
<p>She’s got some personal statement advice from people that review our apps. A whole bunch of other stuff as well. I’m sure some of you already know about this site but just in case you didn’t!</p>

<p>Apparently, they really love to see struggle and hardships. Especially how you overcame them. </p>

<p>Thanks! Ms. Sun is pretty helpful!</p>
<p>@ocnative I have a few ideas but I am trying not to go down that “sob story” road. You know?</p>
