#2 in Personal Statement

<p>Should I write about my experience, hardship, difficulties at home</p>

<p>or</p>

<p>should I write about my talent in music (self-taught)</p>

<p>or </p>

<p>about me tutoring my friends and teach them to play guitar, piano</p>

<p>Because I put all of that in my #2 but someone from UCB told me they only ask for “one” quality and I can’t decide which one will be a better topic to talk about</p>

<p>Please help me. thank you so much</p>

<p>what is your major?</p>

<p>self taught music ---- it shows that you have a propensity towards autodidactism. Self teaching can also be applied to academics so you can create a nice bridge between prompt one and prompt 2. It also depends on your GPA - if it is not good then you might want to do the hardship one. If your major has something to do with teaching since that may be all you can do with it, take the 3rd essay.</p>

<p>my major is econ, biz-econ</p>
