California Berkeley- essay requirements

Parents Forum

<p>Hi guys. Does California Berkeley require essays to be written for undergraduate admissions? I have searched extensively on their website but could not find the information regarding the essays.
I have however found this link:
[University</a> of California - Apply online](<a href=“http://www.universityofcalifornia.edu/admissions/how-to-apply/apply-online/index.html]University”>http://www.universityofcalifornia.edu/admissions/how-to-apply/apply-online/index.html) Which doesn’t include the essay requirements.</p>

<p>So I would just like to confirm whether Berkeley requires essays for undergraduate admissions.</p>

<p>Thanks.</p>

<p>Go to the page in the link you provided. Click on “Personal Statement” in the menu on the left side. That takes you to the discussion of the required essays.</p>

<p>ETA- the application for Fall 2012 is not available yet. I don’t know if the essay prompts are the same each year.</p>

<p>Yes, they do. The prompts are supposed to be the same as last year from what I’ve heard.</p>

<p>Ah thanks a lot.</p>
