To write an essay, or not to write an essay?

<p>I am applying as a transfer student to University of Illinois at Chicago. My GPA is a sad, sad 2.5. I spoke to someone at UIC-technically they don't accept transfers until Spring Semester of Sophomore Year, but because of my ACT score and AP scores, she believes they would make an exception.</p>

<p>UIC doesn't require a personal statement. And I honestly have no clue what to say. Should I write one?</p>
