UC – PERSONAL INSIGHT QUESTIONS

to your experience and that best reflect your individual circumstances.

Campus Specific Philosophy Acronyms Repetition Quotations Creative Writing

Avoid Common Mistakes

TIPS FOR UC PERSONAL INSIGHT QUESTIONS

They won’t look it up, so spell it out. Don’t ask questions. Get to the point and say what you mean. Want to know your thoughts and words, not someone else’s. Poems, scene- setting, clichés. You’re talking to all the UC campuses in your response. Give new info that cannot be found in other sections of the application

slide-16
SLIDE 16

TIPS FOR UC PERSONAL INSIGHT QUESTIONS

  • Final Tip:
  • The Personal Insight Questions is your opportunity to informally interview with the UC’s.
  • They don’t look at writing style; they look for content.

Your response should add clarity, depth and/or context to the application as a whole. Be you!

  • Use plenty of “I” statements. Talk about yourself so that the UC’s can get to know your

personality, talents, accomplishments and potential for success on a UC campus.

application would be incomplete without it. If this sounds like you, then please share your story.

  • The lessons we take from obstacles we encounter can be fundamental to later success. Recount a time

when you faced a challenge, setback, or failure. How did it affect you, and what did you learn from the experience.

  • Reflect on a time when you questioned or challenged a belief or idea. What prompted your thinking?

What was the outcome?

  • Describe a problem you’ve solved or a problem you’d like to solve. It can be an intellectual challenge, a

research query, an ethical dilemma – anything that is of personal importance, no matter the scale. Explain its significance to you and what steps you took or could be taken to identify a solution.
