<li>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?</li>

<p>This is courage. </p>
<p>Tell me what you think. I'm still working on shortening it so I don't exceed the 1,000 word limit b/c my first prompt is 998 words.</p>
<p>LMAO sounds like a Beyonce album. I’m working on shorting my 2nd one as I’m at 1223 words total between both.</p>
<p>Pretty clever, I must say, LOL! Try to take one word out of your first prompt, so you’ll have exactly 1,000 words. Although, it doesn’t really matter if you go to 1,001 – just one word over the limit.</p>
<p>Please tell me you’re not serious.</p>
<p>been done soooooooooooo many times before</p>
<p>LOL i heard from the uc website saying “if you choose to respond to one prompt at greater length, they suggest your shorter answer be no less than 250 words.”</p>

<p>Oops!</p>
<p>998 words?! LMAOOOOOOOOOOO. </p>
<p>If you are resorting to this, you might as well add one more word to prompt #1 and straight up write “Courage” for prompt #2.</p>
<p>Very good, Girlyshout. LOL!</p>
<p>haha u can write over the limit guys. mine was like 1,100 and it let me finish. when u can’t write anymore, it will cut you off.</p>
<p>many people from years passed wrote write up to the limit and were admitted to ucla and berkley.</p>
<p>haha oh yeah and i read in thsi college essay book “please don’t try to be funny with one word answers”</p>
<p>but to each its own! good luck!! i jsut submitted my app, but as a freshman :-P</p>
<p>i dont think it should matter as long as you have 250+ words for each essay. mine were around 450 each + 50 in the extra comments box</p>
<p>yea i was j/k. just bringing in some thanksgiving humor. my real prompt 2 was about 800 words but i trimmed it to 450 right now. haven’t started on first prompt yet. which one do u guys think is more important for transfers?</p>
<p>I’m assuming the first one is slightly more important for transfers since that one is exclusively for us.</p>
