I need the following Personal Insight Question (PIQ) answered in a short essay format (Max 350 words). The essay format is also outlined below: This is for a UC application:
PIQ Question: Think about an academic subject that inspires you. Describe how you have furthered this interest inside and/or outside of the classroom. Instructions from UC Admissions:
Things to consider: Many students have a passion for one specific academic subject area, something that they just can’t get enough of. If that applies to you, what have you done to further that interest? Discuss how your interest in the subject developed and describe any experience you have had inside and outside the classroom — such as volunteer work, internships, employment, summer programs, participation in student organizations and/or clubs — and what you have gained from your involvement. Has your interest in the subject influenced you in choosing a major and/or future career? Have you been able to pursue coursework at a higher level in this subject (honors, AP, IB, college or university work)? Are you inspired to pursue this subject further at UC, and how might you do that?
Essay Outline (Format): Paragraph 1 – HOOK and thesis statement: Paragraph 2 – Examples, Illustrations, and a sense of change/growth over time Paragraph 3 – Conclusion, including a sense of how the essay topic will influence the writer now and into the future
