On the UC website, there are 8 questions and you are supposed to pick 4. Are these for all UCs or would individual schools like Berkeley and UCLA have their own essays as well?
All UC’s will use the same 8 prompts in which you pick 4. No extra essays but UCB started a pilot program inviting applicants to submit LOR’s. Also some UC’s will ask for a supplemental review based on your essay answers where you might mention a disability, lower than average grades due to extenuating circumstances but these are sent to a small group of students.
