My senior year of high school, I applied to 3 UCs. Got into 2/3 but ended up not attending either school.
Now, I’m finishing up at a CCC and working on my applications. I am applying to a different group of three UCs. I was looking back at my old personal statements and I feel that they still reflect who I am as a person.
I would certainly update them to reflect current experiences and change some of the wording, but I am worried about getting flagged for plagiarism.
I thought I would be okay since I’ve never applied to these three schools before, but now I am worrying since the originals might still exist in the UC files.
