<p>UC prompt #1 is "Describe the world you come from- your family, community or school- and tell us how your world has shaped your dreams and aspirations."</p>
<p>When describing "the world you come from," should we be specific and just use one experience? Or should we use a string of experiences but tie them together so they're not all over the place?</p>
<p>For example, I want to be a veterinarian when I grow up...my dreams and aspirations are helping animals. In describing "my world," should I talk about how the world I come from is all animal-related...like I have 5 pets, I volunteer, I love the Animal Planet. Or should I just talk about one experience- my job at the animal rehabilitation center?</p>
<p>Hmmm...Doesn't prompt 2 ask about how your experiences tie to your intended major? </p>
<p>Sorry, I haven't looked at the application.</p>
<p>Personally, with your veterinary ambitions, I would talk about all your experiences and tie them together creatively. Unless, you had a really significant experience at the rehabilitation center, and can write a compelling essay around that.</p>
<p>UCB: Promp 2 this year asks about an experience that helped shape you.</p>
<p>kristina: I wrote about it in a broad sense, like what growing up in an ethnically polarized town taught me. I don't think they care if it's broad or specific, as long as it's relative to the question.</p>
<p>i am writing abt how i live in a technology college campus and go to school in the city which is basically an industrial one and how living in thismixture has shaped me up and the career path i want to take.</p>
