Got questions about the UC personal statement?

<p>hi cardinalfocused :slight_smile: this is a bit random but…
will my transfer application look bad to the admissions officers if i recycle an essay from my high school uc application for the second prompt? i know they usually want to see how you’ve done in college (which i will cover in the first prompt about my interest in my intended major). my essay is about a volunteer experience from my sophomore year of high school and i’ve always thought it was well-written and accurately reflects who i am, so i’d like to use it again rather than having to start over. i’m just wondering if maybe this will affect my chances of getting admitted b/c they might think i am lazy?
what are your thoughts? thanks in advance!</p>
