Magician Posted June 27, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 27, 2015 (edited) Andddddddd, are these the UC essay titles for 2015-2016 applicants? http://admission.universityofcalifornia.edu/how-to-apply/personal-statement/ Edited June 27, 2015 by Animate 1 Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pink97 Posted June 27, 2015 Report Share Posted June 27, 2015 Andddddddd, are these the UC essay titles for 2015-2016 applicants? http://admission.universityofcalifornia.edu/how-to-apply/personal-statement/Not sure whether those are the essay prompts for fall 2016 applicants. If you want to get an accurate response, you're better off emailing/calling the admission offices of the the universities you're interested in. Re common app: The common app for 2015-16 applicants will be live on the 1st of August - you'll be able to get the common app prompts as well as the supplementary essay prompts then. So, no, those aren't the actual essay prompts. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

IB_taking_over Posted June 28, 2015 Report Share Posted June 28, 2015 They are (most likely) last years titles. Common App for this year comes out August 1st. I think that most school release their prompts around the same time and Common App does. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnnaHoffman Posted March 30, 2022 Report Share Posted March 30, 2022 Below is the full set of essay prompts for 2022-2023. We will also retain the optional COVID-19 question within the Additional Information section. 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 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? Reflect on something that someone has done for you that has made you happy or thankful in a surprising way. How has this gratitude affected or motivated you? Discuss an accomplishment, event, or realization that sparked a period of personal growth and a new understanding of yourself or others. Describe a topic, idea, or concept you find so engaging that it makes you lose all track of time. Why does it captivate you? What or who do you turn to when you want to learn more? Share an essay on any topic of your choice. It can be one you've already written, one that responds to a different prompt, or one of your own design.
