Personal Statement

I'm applying as an Econ major and a Poli Sci major to several different UCs. The prompt that's giving me a hard time is answering what ECs have I done that relate to my major? Well I have no ECs :/..and the other one is why did I pick my major..how do Inanswer this, if I'm applying with 2-3 different majors??

Well, I wrote about something broad, example) people who apply to applied mathematics, applied sciences mathematics, mathematics, etc. I would just list in general, mathematics on the essay. Not sure if it makes a big difference but it seems to be universal for all the colleges.

edit: I'm not sure how you would relate poli sci and econ..

edit2: for some schools, the personal statement is not a very important factor. so you can focus your statements on schools such as UCB, UCLA, UCM, and UCI? I think those would be the only schools that really consider your essay... I heard other schools only use it if you are a borderline candidate.
