Personal Statement Guidelines
The personal statement is an important document that helps us to get acquainted with you as a person. We advise you to take time to reflect on your values, motivations, and personal goals before you start writing. Donot feel pressured to search for remarkable and distinctive experiences to display. More so than the experiences themselves, we are interested in how they influenced you and the insights that you gained from them. The essay should be written by you, and must not be “coached” so that we can hear your original thoughts and words. Please carefully note the instructions before you begin writing.
<Instructions>
1. Please write two essays, each slightly different in length, as indicated.
2. We recommend a typed copy, as handwriting may be difficult to read. (In case of handwriting,write clearly in the square stylewitha blue or black pen.)
We are delighted to read your personal statements and to get to know you. We would also like to assure you that your writing will not be made public,and will be used only for admissions purposes. You have our sincere wishes and encouragement as you begin your reflections.
Essay Question 1 (600 words or less)
Essay Options: Select from one of the following.
1. Describe a personal, non-academic experience or achievement in which you had to make a difficult decision, and relate the ways in which this experience has changed you as a person.
2. Provide an example of a leadership situation where you were able to display the characteristics of humility and cooperation when achieving your goals. What were the challenges that you faced through the exercise of your leadership, and how did you overcome them?
3. Choose a real person other than a close relative—a teacher, classmate, friend, etc.—with whom you have had a direct relationship. Alternatively, describe a character that is either fictional or historical. Describe in detail how that person or character changed the way you look at the world around you or at life in general.
4. One of UIC’s greatest strengths is its immense diversity. Describe how your own personal background would add to UIC’s diversity and why your personal traits would stand out even in such a highly multi-lingual and multi-cultural institution.
