Supplemental essay tips 2025; UC PIQs; (+"Challenges and circumstances" question on CA)

“You need to show you understand their values and match them to something you’ve done or regularly do. Think of it as a way to convince someone you like to date you. If all you do is say “You’re awesome” “you’re my dream person”… why would they go out with you? I mean, I’m sure they’d be flattered, but you’re not giving them any reason to think you are awesome AND a great match for them…”

Especially if you are applying to tippy tops, your supplements need to show, not just tell.
