University of California Personal Insight Questions

The University of California Personal Insight Questions are prompts that applicants answer as part of their college application. These questions give students a chance to share more about their background, experiences, goals, and qualities that aren’t visible through grades or test scores. The goal is to provide a fuller picture of who they are, demonstrating their potential and how they would contribute to the campus community. Responses are evaluated along with academic records to help admissions make fair and individualized decisions.
