In this webinar, we'll help you craft responses to the UC Personal Insight Questions (PIQs) that go beyond surface-level achievements and dive into what truly makes you you. UC’s admissions process values authenticity, and this session will guide you through introspective exercises to uncover and articulate the personal experiences and qualities that define you—whether it's your leadership, creativity, resilience, or passion for learning.
Learn how to turn each response into a compelling narrative that not only answers the question but highlights your unique path, aspirations, and readiness for both college and the challenges ahead. Whether it's overcoming obstacles, making a difference in your community, or demonstrating your growth, this webinar will help you connect the dots between your past experiences and your future potential in a way that resonates with UC admissions officers.

- What does "authenticity" mean in the UC admissions process, and how can I ensure my responses reflect that?

- What strategies can I use to write a compelling narrative that connects my past experiences to my future aspirations?
- How do I effectively demonstrate leadership, creativity, resilience, or a passion for learning in my PIQs?
- What are some common pitfalls to avoid when answering the PIQs?
