Stanford-- require Personal Statement?

<p>Hey,
I was looking through stanford's application, and i could not see anything that mentioned a personal statement. I saw that there were many essays to write, but not the PS. My question is: Does stanford require a personal statment?</p>

<p>The essays are the personal statements. Through telling stories about your activities/influences, you will show your personality.</p>

<p>ohh.. so there isn't a "Personal Statment" like the kind you write for a UC?</p>

<p>BUMP. Please.</p>

<p>Even the UCs don't have a personal statement per se. They now require 3 essays--not that many years ago, they required one essay, called the "personal statement."</p>

<p>To save yourself a little time, think of ways of making your big UC essay fit the Stanford prompt.</p>

<p>stanford has the smaller and diff essay substitute for personal statement......sort of change of titles</p>

<p>ohh.. any more input?</p>
