UC Personal Insight Question essays

Complete PIQ sets from students admitted to a University of California campus.

The University of California asks for four Personal Insight Questions of up to 350 words each, and nothing else. There is no personal statement, no separate supplement, and no interview. Those four responses carry the entire written case for your application, which is why they reward close reading.
