For those who missed the after school University of California workshop, here is a summary of the meeting that was conducted by Theresa Vidaurri, an Early Academic Outreach Program representative. A personal statement is used to give context to a student¢s life as well as depth to the student¢s profile. It is your chance to reveal information that your test scores and grades cannot show statement readers. The UC Personal Statement is not about being flowery or excessively wordy because that becomes a waste of words. Do not attempt to be funny or clever, but do be sincere and use your words to advance your arguments.
