Personal Statement Guidelines

The personal statement is an important document that helps us to get acquainted with you as a person. We advise you to take time to reflect on your values, motivations and personal goals before you start writing. Dont feel pressured to search for remarkable and distinctive experiences to display. More so than the experiences themselves, we are interested in how they influenced you and the insights that you gained from them. The essay should be written by you, and must not be coached so that we can hear your original thoughts and words. Please carefully note the instructions as you prepare to begin writing. <Instructions> 1. Please write two essays, of slightly differing lengths, as indicated. 2. We recommend a computer-generated copy, as handwriting may be difficult to read. (In case of handwriting, write clearly in the square style with a blue or black pen) We are delighted with the prospect of reading your personal statement and coming to know you. We would also like to assure you that your writing will not be made public,

and will only be used for admission purposes. You have our sincere wishes and encouragement as you begin your reflections.

Essay Question 1 (400-500 words) Essay Options: Select from one of the following. 1. Describe a personal, non-academic experience or achievement in which you had to make a difficult decision, and relate the ways in which this experience has changed you as a person. 2. We are bombarded with news every day, ranging from the frivolous to the catastrophic. Take one current national or international issue and explain why it is important to you. 3. Choose a real person with whom you have or had a direct relationship (relative, teacher, friend, etc.) or a character that is either fictional or historical. Describe in detail how that person or character has changed the way you look at the world around you or at life in general. 4. Diversity is not only important but also a fact of life in an international college such as UIC. Describe how your own personal background would add to that diversity. 5. Topic of your choice.

Essay Question 2 (250 words or less) The Underwood International College is an all-English liberal arts college located within Yonsei University in Korea.
