The University of California Personal Statement often creates panic among college hopefuls. Just like any college essay, the purpose of the Personal Statement is to give the application depth and clarity.

One tip is for students to try to "show" rather than "tell" about their passions. Using active verbs and adjectives that weave emotion into the statement can spice up a topic.
