The University of California system is somewhat distinct in college admissions, as they do not use the Common App. We’ve written about their unique application portal before, but as part of this, they have a number of other quirks, most notably their essay questions. Instead of the Common App’s personal statement and each college’s own unique supplementals, UC schools ask for four essays total, of 350 words apiece.
Answering these is often a challenge for students, as many college essays are. In this article, we’re going to go over each of the prompts the UC system has, then give an example of a past essay written by an Ivy Scholars student to answer it, and analyze what that essay does well. Finally, we’ll give you some brief advice on knowing what prompts you should answer. Let’s get started!
The Mechanics of UC Personal Insight Questions
There are eight prompts for the Personal Insight Questions (PIQs); you must choose four of these to answer. Each essay you write can be up to 350 words long, we generally recommend you make use of all of this space (as you will see in the examples below).
As with the Common App, these answers are entered directly into the online form. You should compose your essays ahead of time and edit them in a separate document, then enter and upload them only once you are ready to submit. You may choose any four of the questions to answer; the schools give no preference.
As with the Common App essay, these responses go out to each of the UC schools you are applying to. Thus, none of them should address the schools directly; UC Santa Barbara has no desire to read about how much you love UCLA, or what a great fit UC San Diego is for you. Your responses should focus on you and your accomplishments, what you have done and what your values are.
We will now go through each prompt in turn, and give an example of a response to each, along with analysis. You need only answer four of these, but we’ll give examples for all of them.
Leadership Essay Example
Describe an example of your leadership experience in which you have positively influenced others, helped resolve disputes or contributed to group efforts over time. (350 words)
“Zai jian,” my dad says as he leaves home to manage our family restaurant two hours away.
“Xiao xin,” my mom replies as she locks her office door behind her. Though my dad works onsite, my mom works at home, taking care of all the financial aspects of our family business.
Once alone, I see the light flicker above me, hear the faucet drip in the kitchen, and eye a cracked tile beneath my shoe. The responsibility of housework falls upon me. When light bulbs burn out, rusty faucets leak, and expired food piles up in the fridge, I take matters into my own hands. While my parents are busy running their business, I’m busy running our home.
My journey into home improvement began when the first wave of video doorbells entered the market. Intrigued by the night vision functionality, I was the first to pounce and install one. I began to see other ways I could help — installing smart light bulbs not only lasted longer, but saved power and lowered energy costs. I began to replace old, burnt-out ones with newer, more energy-efficient ones instead.
Two years ago, when the sink basin began to rust and the wooden cabinets started to fall apart, I became responsible for picking out new, more durable wood and deciding on a more efficient floorplan that worked for all of us. Since then, I’ve taken on even more responsibilities at home, from installing security cameras to replacing frayed wires by soldering new ones. I change broken light switches for new smart switches, and research and purchase new appliances like dishwashers and microwave ovens when their time comes.
I am glad to have taken on the role of in-house contractor. My parents have given me amazing support to pursue my interests in robotics, coding, and videography, and have given me an opportunity to develop a sense of responsibility and the grit to solve everyday problems.
Fixing our home is my way of thanking my parents for their hard work with a bit of my own.
Leadership Essay Analysis
The key to understanding how to answer this prompt is to understand what counts as leadership. The prompt wants to see how you positively influenced a group via your leadership; which means this isn’t something you were directed to do by others, but came from some intrinsic motivation. The UCs want to see how you stepped up and assumed responsibility, whether through a position which imparts it (such as student council), or in a more informal setting (such as the above essay).
Whatever essay you write should impart how you showed leadership, why it was necessary for you to do so, and what you learned from the experience. Showing how your experience with leadership made you learn and grow as a person will add further depth to the essay, and allow you to show off your other values and qualities.
A narrative is often the easiest way to answer this question, either with a deep dive into a single instance, or a more extended overview of your process of assuming a leadership role, as in the above essay. It is possible to write a non-narrative essay about leadership, but this is often more difficult. Regardless of the style of essay, make sure you convey how you acted as a leader.
What do leaders do? They demonstrate leadership by taking on responsibility, offering guidance to others, working for a goal greater than themselves, or directing the efforts of a group. Regardless of how you personally showed leadership, this essay should demonstrate how you have acted as a leader.
The UC schools value leadership greatly, so we recommend answering this question if you are able to. Demonstrating that you are willing and able to take initiative when called upon is a trait all colleges like to see, but the UC schools, especially UCLA and Berkeley, value it more than most. This is a question asked by many schools, and if you are converting another leadership essay for this prompt, consider adding more details, and a deeper exploration of what you learned from the experience.
Creative Essay Example
Every person has a creative side, and it can be expressed in many ways: problem solving, original and innovative thinking, and artistically, to name a few. Describe how you express your creative side. (350 words)
My feet hit the floor to the beat of the tabla—a classical Indian instrument.
In Hindi, “guru” means teacher, and Shiva Aunty was my guru. She opened my eyes to Kathak, an Indian classical dance form originating from North India. For six years, I learned the graceful art which was focused on telling a story through facial expressions and rhythmic footwork.
Unable to find a Kathak guru after moving, I pursued my passion for Indian dance through another style—Bharatanatyam. This style originated from South India, emphasizing firm movements. I eagerly drove to Sowmya Aunty’s classes and danced as though there was no tomorrow.
As I transitioned schools, I wasn’t able to continue to attend my Bharatanatyam lessons. Instead, I watched Bollywood dance videos and aspired to dance like my favorite Indian actresses. At the end of junior year, I rallied my creative juices, choreographed an Arshia-version of a Bollywood dance to a Hindi song, and performed with my floormates for our school talent show.
Both junior and senior year, I’ve signed up for studio dance, one of the fine arts offered at my school. I’m definitely not the best at hip-hop—popping and locking don’t really blend with my classical upbringing. But it’s a way for me to giggle at myself as I swing my arms and jump side to side with my friends. When our studio teacher, Aubrey, instructs us to freestyle in the middle of the gym floor, I no longer hold back. I spin to the hip-hop beat, remembering my Kathak roots and exhibiting a mixture of my Kathak-hip-hop rendition of Andy Grammer’s “Good to be Alive.”
I’ve been able to gain a richer understanding of my culture through my classical upbringing by learning about the background and importance of the dance styles. Though it’s been challenging to find ways to continue dancing, I’ve realized that remaining connected to my culture and passions is what’s most important to me—resulting in my ability to spread a creative blend of Indian and American dance through our Melting Pot.
Creative Essay Analysis
This prompt is rather open ended, as creativity is something which everyone expresses differently. This is a good prompt to answer if you want to highlight your artistic talents, and if you are applying as an art major you should definitely answer this prompt. If you are otherwise engaged in artistic or traditionally creative extracurriculars, this prompt will be easier to answer. If you have a definitive answer for this prompt, you should consider answering it, even if it involves a non-traditional creative outlet. If you can’t come up with an answer, move on to another prompt, instead of struggling to answer one which does not complement your skills and character.
The example above discusses the author’s relationship with dance. First through learning several traditional styles of Indian dance, then through learning choreography, and finally through melding their traditional styles with American hip hop. While this essay is mainly about how the author interacts with dance, and through that the wider world, they also express several other values in the essay. They show a willingness to step outside their comfort zone, and learn new styles of dance. They show an eagerness to collaborate with others, and a desire to experience new things.
What the author does well in this example is going beyond merely answering the question. While they do answer the question posed well, they also take this as a chance to demonstrate who they are as a person and artist to admissions officers. This is clearly an important aspect of their personality, and this essay gives them a chance to dive deeply into one of their extracurriculars. While the UC application does give more space to discuss your activities than the Common App, for one as important as this clearly is, it’s good to devote an essay to exploring its impact on you more deeply.
This prompt is not a good one to answer for everyone, but can be a good opportunity to show another side of yourself to admissions, and add some depth to your essay. If you unwind from doing calculus by teaching yourself guitar, or find beauty in creating video games, then this essay will allow you to show yourself and your activities in a different light. Admissions officers want to see the most complete and genuine portrait of you possible. If your creative activities are integral to understanding who you are, you should definitely respond to this prompt.
Education Example
Describe how you have taken advantage of a significant educational opportunity or worked to overcome an educational barrier you have faced.
My mind was dominated by Calculus II. Pop quizzes and five-question exams presented uncertainties that I had never encountered before; the idea of academic failure sent chills down my spine. What was previously unfathomable soon became a reality. I held the grade report in my trembling hands, peering down at a letter I had never seen. As my shock dissipated, I faced the challenging task of restarting my stalled learning process. Step by step I inched my way into Dr. Kighuradze’s office, the tension tightening my shoulders. Admitting I had a problem was my first step, and it was all downhill from there.
Resources were abundant, but what made the difference was a paradigm shift: starting the school year scared of failure, I finished with the Zen acceptance that failure was an opportunity to self-correct. The word “calculus” became less daunting. Fear now fueled me to push forward, driving me to engage with the problems that provoked me. Intrinsically motivated and driven by a thirst for knowledge, I dug into the theoretical groundwork of my exams as well as the mechanics of their problems, determined to hunt down every last bit of confusion. The journey to the top of calculus mountain concluded, my grade 16 points higher.
Evaluating antiderivatives and natural logarithms taught me more about myself than I ever expected. I now view life through a different lens— one that shows me I am capable of overcoming anything. The “B” I received reflects this. “B” no longer means “bad.” It now means “bold.” The word has shifted in my vocabulary from being used in the context of Microsoft Word, to a word I use to describe myself. When I face new challenges, I am proud to say I have new things to learn. Where I once saw my transcript as merely a record of attending classes, I now see it as a showcase of my resilience.
Education Analysis
If you struggled academically in highschool due to circumstances outside of your control, or if you took part in an educational opportunity outside of the norm, this essay is the place to discuss it. The prompt goes in two directions simultaneously, the first aimed at those who received an educational opportunity not commonly available, the second aimed at those who struggled academically and succeeded in spite of barriers. This essay allows you to give greater context to the grades you received, and to your academic accomplishments.
Note that this essay is not a place to try and explain away every poor grade. Instead, if you faced circumstances which interrupted your education or otherwise made success difficult, this is a palace to expound upon them. Admissions officers know that many circumstances are out of your control as a student, but they want to see how you dealt with the challenges which you faced, and how you worked to overcome them.
The example above shows how to approach the subject of academic challenges and failures in a concrete way. The author details how they confronted their own shortcomings in calculus, and how they worked to overcome them. The idea of shifting mentality, and recontextualizing a problem is a good one. This shows personal growth, and that a change occurred besides “working harder” or some movie montage of late nights in a library.
Explaining the problem you faced and how you overcame it in concrete terms helps contextualize your academic performance. In the example above, the way the author frames their journey shows their maturation, both as a person and as a scholar. Failure is often part of the learning process, and while a consistent record of failure may harm your application, this essay is a chance to show how you overcame and learned from failure.
Not everyone will need to complete this essay, and not everyone should. Only if you have educational pursuits, good or ill, which you think deserve a greater depth of explanation should this be one of the essays you select. While colleges will get a report from your counselor as to the difficulty of the classes you took and other information relevant to the school, this essay is a place to explain how you interacted and learned from the process as a whole. If your educational journey deviated far from the norm, this is a good essay for you to write.
Challenge Essay Example
Describe the most significant challenge you have faced and the steps you have taken to overcome this challenge. How has this challenge affected your academic achievement?
5:30AM: “Wake up! You’re gonna be late for cross country practice!”
What had been an ‘empty’ threat used to get me off the couch all summer was suddenly a reality. Picture a scrawny newb tiptoeing across the linoleum, blending into the lockers like a chameleon in a den of fierce varsity lions. As I prepared to run the first mile of my life, the track extended before me like a python coiling around its prey. Within minutes, my lungs ached and my shins stung as my sneakers hit the turf, and by the time I finally crossed the finish line, the other runners’ sweat had already dried. 10 minutes, 38 seconds. I never wanted to see the track again. When my dad asked me how practice went, I lied and said I didn’t make the team, but he saw right through me. I resorted to syllogisms, puppy-dog-eyes, and everything in between, but he wouldn’t budge.
Although I had shaved more than two minutes off my turtlish mile time within a few months, I never even made the top 50% in the participation race. Rather than getting frustrated, I slowly shifted my line of sight from the finish line to the track itself, focusing on putting one foot in front of the other, aligning my breath with each step, and embracing who I was in the moment: The Winded Cross Country Star.
My life has been a succession of sprints toward an ever-moving finish line. From grades and test scores to hobbies and extracurriculars, my incessant pursuit of achievement has often left me exhausted and unfulfilled. Cross country’s seemingly unattainable finish lines in the distance sparked a shift in my understanding of a life well lived. Running has enabled me to balance this pursuit of achievement with an appreciation for “the race” itself. This mentality will serve as my starting block at the University of California.
Challenge Essay Analysis
This prompt is somewhat similar to the previous one, but with a wider scope. Instead of only academic challenges, you are free to discuss whatever setback life threw your way which proved most challenging. In addition, you should discuss how this challenge impacted your academics, for good or ill. If you struggled in classes for reasons outside of school, this prompt may be a better place to discuss those setbacks than the previous one.
The challenge you face does not necessarily have to impact your academics negatively. In the example above, the author learns valuable lessons in perseverance and acquired a new perspective on chasing success, which translated to their academic interests as well. Challenges can teach many lessons, though they may come painfully, and seeing how those lessons can be applied in new circumstances allows you to avoid having to learn the same lesson twice.
The author’s struggles with cross country are small things, relative to the grand scheme, but that is often the case. All struggles are personal, and someone always has it worse. While you should avoid making a big deal about nothing, if you struggled mightily with something and learned valuable lessons from the experience, this essay is a place to share.
This is a less popular prompt, as not everyone has faced a significant challenge, or learned an important lesson from overcoming one. If you did face major challenges outside of school, and they did impact your academic performance, you should detail that here. You should also include what you learned from these challenges, and what new perspectives you gained. Many people face challenges, and colleges want to see students who are able to succeed in spite of them, or learn valuable lessons from them.
If you have not faced challenges of this sort, consider answering another prompt instead. This prompt can highlight lessons you learned the hard way, and highlight your character, but it is one of the harder prompts to respond to, and there is no shame in selecting one of the more straightforward ones.
Academic Interest Example
Think about an academic subject that inspires you. Describe how you have furthered this interest inside and/or outside of the classroom.
During my second semester of junior year, I was able to deepen my friendships with some fascinating friends— Heterochromatin, Poly(A) tails, Genes, Hairpin Loops, Proteins, and of course, DNA and RNA. The genetics course that I took during junior year sparked a passion for understanding the mechanisms that made my new friends tick and how their dispositions changed our lives.
Guided by my mentor, I now conduct graduate-level research on the neurodegenerative disease, Friedreich Ataxia (FA). By growing my own cell cultures using FA patient cells, assisting with bisulfite conversion (a process which changes the chemical makeup of DNA), and helping with polymerase chain reactions (a lab technique used to amplify a gene), I learned techniques that help me ask new, better questions than I used to. Participating in these activities with my macromolecular friends, I saw a future in science where I could both have fun and make a positive difference in the world. Then, I made a mistake.
After my first experiment went awry—I should have taken extra steps against cross-contamination—I was terrified to admit my mistake to the team. I never would have guessed that I was actually going through a rite of passage for every scientist. I was stunned when a senior researcher beat me to the punch at our weekly lab meetings, telling us that she made the same mistake and discussed the protocol she should have followed. The small moment changed my perspective; I began to see research not only as living up to expectations, but as discovering new and improved techniques. All of a sudden, what felt like a risk now felt like an opportunity.
I knew that I loved science—after all, I do go to a math and science school—but having the ability to have hands-on experiences has truly driven me forward to act on my passions. The ability for me to take the step toward my passions for science has reemphasized my determination to make a difference in this world as I plan to work to learn about the genetics surrounding neuroscience—how genetic predispositions differ culturally, affecting mental health globally. I’ve expanded my friend group. Now, it includes DNA methyltransferase, CpG islands, and Dr. Bidichandani and his team.
Academic Interest Analysis
This essay is similar to a Why Major essay, without specifically calling itself a Why Major essay. If you have already had to write, or will have to write, an essay about your academic interests and what you want to major in, this is a very easy prompt to answer. It is also a good prompt to answer generally, as some of the UC schools admit by major, and are keen to see what caused your interest in the subject.
The above essay does a very good job of this. The author clearly displays their passions for science, goes in depth into one of their extracurriculars in the field, and also shows how they grew and matured as a researcher. In this way the essay is able to do many things at once, and is stronger for it.
This example does touch briefly on the author’s plans to consider pursuing biology in the future, but it is almost an afterthought. This is as it should be, the main focus of this essay should be what you have already done, and not on what you plan to do. As this essay goes to every school in the UC system you apply to, just like the personal statement, it cannot be school specific. This means the normal advice of targeting an essay about specific majors to a school does not apply in this instance. Instead dive deeper into why you became interested in the field in the first place, and how you explored those passions.
This is an easier prompt to answer, and we recommend that most students answer it, especially if you have heavy involvement with extracurriculars which match your interests. This provides a place to dive deeply into one of your activities and what it taught you, and to demonstrate how your passion for a subject was formed and nourished. If you are able to include other values and lessons, as the above essay does, all the better.
Community Example
What have you done to make your school or your community a better place?
“YES! I GOT IT RIGHT!”
Amidst the kids’ joyous cheering, I couldn’t help but laugh aloud. STAAR was right around the corner, and the elementary students were lively, happy, and ready. Over the past fifteen months, I had learned more than I ever could have taught.
When I co-founded PiLinguals with my friend, the club was focused exclusively on facilitating a small, weekly math circle for aspiring AIME qualifiers. Cloistered in the local library every other Saturday afternoon, we coached middle schoolers through tough problems and difficult theorems – all in the hopes that they would breach the boundary to the AIME, which some soon did.
However, after six months of diligent work, our mission suddenly and definitively shifted when we glimpsed a striking lack of textbooks, encyclopedias, and computers during a community service visit to local elementary schools. We turned PiLinguals into a collaborative non-profit organization focused on broadening STEM learning opportunities for all children, not just competition trainees. And in doing so, we’ve discovered a new sense of passion.
Now, weekends are bustling. One day I’m explaining fossil fuels to a class of elementary kids, and the next I’m reviewing De Moivre’s Theorem with rising mathletes. Excitedly reading technical postulates and presenting intriguing analogies fills me with joy, allowing me to apply my own creative twists to simplify largely-obscure concepts.
As I have taught, I have also learned much more. While scrambling door-to-door and pleading for book donations, hosting PiLingual’s very own charity competition, and speaking our Middle School’s Career Day, I have learned how to coordinate large-scale fundraisers and other meaningful events for worthy causes. Our traction allowed us to take our efforts to AoPS, a popular math problem solving website and discussion forum that now hosts more than 300 of our online students.
But our work isn’t done. We plan to expand even further, and are already establishing a branch in Maryland. PiLinguals has taught me how to interact with the students around me, but most importantly, how to be a leader in my community and spread the love of education.
Community Analysis
This question is looking for how you contributed positively to a community you have been a part of. The question itself is very vague; this is intentional, as there are many ways communities are expressed, and many ways students have made them better. These schools want to admit students who are eager to improve their communities, and use past evidence of involvement to gauge whether students will be well suited to continue doing so in the future.
Your community impact does not have to be world-changing, but you should show a genuine willingness to help make the world better through your efforts. The magnitude of your impact on the community is one of the better ways to measure success, but it is not the only one.
In the example above, the author describes how their initial community involvement, impressive in its own right, grew into something larger. By showing how their connection grew naturally, and how much they were willing to do for the community they were a part of, they clearly show their values. At the end, where they discuss plans for future expansion of their program, they show that they aren’t willing to accept a modest success and coast, but are instead constantly looking to improve even further.
There is no correct answer to this question, no singular form of community service which is clearly better or which admissions officers value more. Instead, you should demonstrate your own passions and willingness to work to improve communities you are a part of. It is this passion and drive that admissions officers are looking for.
This is one of the easiest and most straightforward essays to answer for the UC prompts, as so many schools ask similar questions. This essay allows you to discuss one of your extracurriculars in depth, and also demonstrate what values you hold to admissions officers. We recommend this prompt, as it is an easy way to show what you care about, and who you are as a person.
Free Response Example
Beyond what has already been shared in your application, what do you believe makes you stand out as a strong candidate for admissions to the University of California?
Ascending the headquarters’ steps, I imagined my time at the campaign headquarters would be spent tediously phone banking and endlessly canvassing door-to-door. Speaking to the Field Director, though, I learned she instead wanted help reaching out to the underrepresented Asian voters by creating relational networks from databases of volunteers’ friends and family.
Initially, the campaign envisioned a simple Excel-based system to track potential voters; However, as the field director walked me through the Texas Democrats’ extensive online database and taught me how to analyze raw voter data, it dawned on me that I could apply familiar algorithmic concepts to carry out the campaign’s vision.
To construct the system, I canvassed from one side of the city to the other, requesting and gathering daily early voting reports from three county offices. Returning to campaign headquarters, I was immediately greeted whole-heartedly by the staff and welcomed into the tech room: I was now a fully-fledged member of the team.
For the next six weeks until the start of early voting, I tirelessly improved upon the system. I compressed hundreds of relational and voting files, creating a mailing system that updated the nearly 250 volunteers with daily emails indicating whether their friends had voted yet. By the time election day arrived, the system had gone through dozens of iterations.
As I watched the results roll in on November 6th, coding transformed from an abstract language into concrete action capable of changing the world. The painstaking hours I spent constructing the system, the countless phone calls I made with the field directors, the numerous team meetings I had eagerly joined – all were worth it.
We lost the election, but each and every new refinement to my program was a small step toward changing the political system as a whole. I helped narrow the gap from 20% to 5% – an unprecedented turnout for a Texas-based Democrat candidate.
It was a first step – not just for political representation of the Asian community, but for me as a future programmer and conscientious citizen.
Free Response Analysis
This is quite possibly the broadest possible prompt for a college essay. You can write about almost anything, so long as it is germane to your application. This is a good chance to show off other values you hold, other lessons you’ve learned, or other extracurriculars you’ve taken part in. Ideally, you can cover all three in a single essay. While this choice may seem overwhelming, it is also freeing. You can cover any topics you wish which you think will show your best aspects to a school.
The example above is about many things at once, but tells the reader a number of important things about the author. It is, in part, a challenge essay. While this may not have been the biggest challenge the author faced, this response holds similarities to responses to the challenge prompt above. The author explains the difficulties they faced, the long odds against them, and what they learned and accomplished in spite of their apparent failure. While their candidate did not get elected, they contributed to the democratic process, increased voter turnout, and expanded their skillset as a programmer.
This essay further explores the author’s role in the Asian-American community, especially in regards to political involvement. While the essay does not delve deep into the author’s own ideas about identity, it is an undercurrent which informs the events in the essay.
The values the author learned are perhaps the most important part of the essay. Failure is a part of life and learning, and can be a good teacher if you let it. While the author and the campaign they worked on did not win, they did increase voter participation, and create a system which will be used and built upon in the future. Winning isn’t everything, and the author displays maturity in knowing that, and acknowledging the positives that came alongside their electoral loss.
Your own essay does not have to be on the subject of a challenge, or a failure. What it should do is display what values you hold, what lessons you’ve learned, and who you are as a person. This is a high bar, and if you would have an easier time answering one of the more constrained prompts, there is no shame in it. The other benefit this prompt provides is a chance to repackage your personal statement, if it can’t be used to answer any of the other prompts. You put a lot of effort into perfecting your personal statement, and using it to answer one of UC’s prompts is a great way to cut down on the amount of writing you have to do.
Which UC PIQs Should You Answer?
Now that we’ve seen all of these examples, the question facing you is which of these questions you should answer. There’s no single right way to do this, but we do have some advice to ensure that your time is spent both wisely and well.
First, you should try to cross apply essays where you can. If you already need to write an essay about a particular activity or answer a similar prompt for another college’s supplemental, then you should use it for one of these essays as well. Never make more work for yourself if you don’t need to.
Next, you should always turn your personal statement into the answer for one of these essays. UC schools don’t want your personal statement, but you spent a lot of time and effort working on making a great one, and you shouldn’t allow that to go to waste either. Which prompt this answer depends on what you wrote, but there’s always prompt 8 if it doesn’t match any of the others.
Finally, if you complete the additional information section on the Common App, some of that information, especially if you had an academic disruption, could be used to answer the related UC question. This won’t always be relevant; some things discussed in the Additional Info section won’t fit the prompt, but it is worth looking into.
Final Thoughts
The University of California schools are excellent, and include some of the best public universities in the country. Their application can feel daunting, especially since their essays are something of a departure from the Common App. We hope that this article has given you the insight you need to properly answer these questions, and to figure out which essays will best enable you to tell your story.
