What is the word limit for UC essays?

Hey everyone! I'm applying to some University of California schools this year and I was wondering if there's a specific word limit for the UC personal insight questions. Does anyone have that info? Thanks in advance!

Hi there! For the UC personal insight questions, there is a 350-word limit for each essay. You'll have to choose 4 questions out of the available 8 to answer. So, make sure to keep each of your responses within that limit and focus on clearly expressing your experiences and insights.

Keep in mind that this is subject to change from year to year, so it's a good idea to check the UC admissions site for up-to-date information. Here's the current relevant link: https://admission.universityofcalifornia.edu/how-to-apply/applying-as-a-freshman/personal-insight-questions.html

Best of luck with your application process!
