Questions & guidance

Required question

Please describe how you have prepared for your intended major, including your readiness to succeed in your upper-division courses once you enroll at the university.

Things to consider: How did your interest in your major develop? Do you have any experience related to your major outside the classroom — such as volunteer work, internships and employment, or participation in student organizations and activities? If you haven’t had experience in the field, consider including experience in the classroom. This may include working with faculty or doing research projects.

If you’re applying to multiple campuses with a different major at each campus, think about approaching the topic from a broader perspective, or find a common thread among the majors you’ve chosen.

Choose to answer any three of the following seven questions:

1. Describe an example of your leadership experience in which you have positively influenced others, helped resolve disputes, or contributed to group efforts over time.

Things to consider: A leadership role can mean more than just a title. It can mean being a mentor to others, acting as the person in charge of a specific task, or taking lead role in organizing an event or project. Think about your accomplishments and what you learned from the experience. What were your responsibilities?

Did you lead a team? How did your experience change your perspective on leading others? Did you help to resolve an important dispute at your school, church in your community or an organization? And your leadership role doesn’t necessarily have to be limited to school activities. For example, do you help out or take care of your family?

2. 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.

Things to consider: What does creativity mean to you? Do you have a creative skill that is important to you? What have you been able to do with that skill? If you used creativity to solve a problem, what was your solution? What are the steps you took to solve the problem?

How does your creativity influence your decisions inside or outside the classroom? Does your creativity relate to your major or a future career?

3. What would you say is your greatest talent or skill? How have you developed and demonstrated that talent over time?

Things to consider: If there’s a talent or skill that you’re proud of, this is the time to share it. You don’t necessarily have to be recognized or have received awards for your talent (although if you did and you want to talk about, feel free to do so). Why is this talent or skill meaningful to you?

Does the talent come naturally or have you worked hard to develop this skill or talent? Does your talent or skill allow you opportunities in or outside the classroom? If so, what are they and how do they fit into your schedule?

4. Describe how you have taken advantage of a significant educational opportunity or worked to overcome an educational barrier you have faced.

Things to consider: An educational opportunity can be anything that has added value to your educational experience and better prepared you for college. For example, participation in an honors or academic enrichment program, or enrollment in an academy that’s geared toward an occupation or a major, or taking advanced courses that interest you — just to name a few.

If you choose to write about educational barriers you’ve faced, how did you overcome or strived to overcome them? What personal characteristics or skills did you call on to overcome this challenge? How did overcoming this barrier help shape who are you today?

5. 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?

Things to consider: A challenge could be personal, or something you have faced in your community or school. Why was the challenge significant to you? This is a good opportunity to talk about any obstacles you’ve faced and what you’ve learned from the experience. Did you have support from someone else or did you handle it alone?

If you’re currently working your way through a challenge, what are you doing now, and does that affect different aspects of your life? For example, ask yourself, “How has my life changed at home, at my school, with my friends, or with my family?”

6. What have you done to make your school or your community a better place?

Things to consider: Think of community as a term that can encompass a group, team or a place – like your high school, hometown, or home. You can define community as you see fit, just make sure you talk about your role in that community. Was there a problem that you wanted to fix in your community?

Why were you inspired to act? What did you learn from your effort? How did your actions benefit others, the wider community or both? Did you work alone or with others to initiate change in your community?

7. What is the one thing that you think sets you apart from other candidates applying to the University of California?

Things to consider: Don’t be afraid to brag a little. Even if you don’t think you’re unique, you are — remember, there’s only one of you in the world. From your point of view, what do you feel makes you belong on one of UC’s campuses? When looking at your life, what does a stranger need to understand in order to know you?

What have you not shared with us that will highlight a skill, talent, challenge, or opportunity that you think will help us know you better? We’re not necessarily looking for what makes you unique compared to others, but what makes you, YOU.

Sociological understanding
To better integrate themselves into the community, regardless of learning and not learn you are a member of society, a better understanding of society, because I think the so-called real sociology is a real society, every day experience every day of society .

For example, my mother was hit in China, I learned to think, why become so indifferent society. Afraid to be false, would rather sacrifice to do bad people can not do this good, because life savings may have been correct, it can only choose. Then this lack of sociology. Will no longer be a single thought, will think a lot of deep aspects. Preparation is to read more news, factual news, read more. Write a good write bad to reflect the social

6. I live in the district is a seven-story house, there are more than 10 houses, thousands of households. For this year’s G20, so last year when I returned home in July, I need the whole district of politics. Brush the wall, the security window must be removed. Because the workload is relatively large, so a variety of construction materials and tools are accounted for a lot of aisle, like a construction site, because a lot of people so life caused great change. So many residents of the community will have complaints. One day I was in my homework and saw the scaffolding outside the windowsill, where workers were working. The high temperature in summer, so that workers sweat drops drop down, the whole degree of clothes are soaked. I feel very hard, I use the cup soak up the summer tea and fruit to eat them every day. Every few days slowly anti-right-left a few slowly joined my ranks, and then more and more people to join us. So that we love them, through these workers feel that we give them some of the love of feedback. Even if they work very hard one day, but every day when they go to the work of the waste paper and debris are classified good. Slowly through the chat they will promptly coordinate the views. Originally contradictory, and later workers to see the residents have heavy objects, and then will help. Stand on the perspective of others to think about the problem. Through this thing I think any thing I am just a small charity, but also have a huge butterfly effect. I meet in the life of unhappy or bad social customs things, I will not complain, I will love the better the better. I will not blame others or complain about society, but will start from their own, by their own little change. I will make my society a better place.
