Using what you learnAs you complete the surveys, revisit your gameplan and goals. Using the information you have learned begin to write a personal statement using one of the following prompts (write 1000 words):
UC Prompt:• Describe the world you come from — for example, your family, community or school — and tell us how your world has shaped
your dreams and aspirations.• Tell us about a personal quality, talent, accomplishment, contribution or experience that is important to you. What about this
quality or accomplishment makes you proud and how does it relate to the person you are?
Common App Prompts:• Some students have a background, identity, interest, or talent that is so meaningful they believe their application would be
incomplete without it. If this sounds like you, then please share your story.• The lessons we take from failure can be fundamental to later success. Recount an incident or time when you experienced
failure. How did it affect you, and what did you learn from the experience?• Reflect on a time when you challenged a belief or idea. What prompted you to act? Would you make the same decision again?• 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.
• Discuss an accomplishment or event, formal or informal, that marked your transition from childhood to adulthood within your culture, community, or family.
