Whats the format for this and how many paragraphs should each statement be?
Now, that’s the trick, isn’t it?
There is no set guideline. Th y want to see what you know.
They are called “personal insight questions” now. Each response is limited to a maximum of 350 words.
The previous essay was a “personal statement.” Make sure you aren’t working off descriptions of the old essays.
See http://admission.universityofcalifornia.edu/how-to-apply/personal-questions/freshman/index.html for the new essay topics. Choose 4 of the 8 topics.
My advice, don’t sound fake and be very straightforward. They can tell when you’re spitting a sob story and you don’t have many words to be descriptive so yeah ^.^
