Personal Statement Support

These documents should help you get started with writing your personal statement for application as a transfer student. “Writing a UC Personal Statement” is just for applying to UC schools, my own personal notes from a talk I attended given by a UC Admissions person. “Let me Introduce Myself” is about first lines of statements from students who were accepted to Stanford, a good model of how to capture the attention of someone who is reading thousands of statements. “Getting Started” and the “Personal Essay Outline” were developed and shared by Melissa Salcido in the West Valley College Puente Program. All this information can also be used to write a scholarship essay.
