Personal Statement

The personal statement is an important part of your application to the Renaissance Scholars program at CSU, East Bay. We use your personal statement to learn more about you as an individual - your talents, experiences, achievements, and points of view. Think of the personal statement as your opportunity to introduce yourself to us.

What would you like us to know about you that may not be evident from a review of the rest of your application? Here, you may want to write about people who have influenced you, situations that have shaped you, difficulties or conflicts with which you have struggled with, goals and hopes you may have for the future, or something else you consider significant. Regardless of what you choose to write about, your personal statement should reflect your own ideas and be written by you alone. Present your ideas in a focused, thoughtful manner. Support your ideas with specific examples. Personal statements comprised of lists of qualities or accomplishments are not useful or effective.

Instructions: Please use no more than 250 - 500 words for your personal statement.

Tips on writing a personal statement:

Remember to check your spelling and grammar. Microsoft Word has a Spelling and Grammar feature to help you with this.
Have a teacher, friend, or mentor review your statement for clarity, organization, and overall readability.
Be honest! Tell us about you and give us examples. We want to know about you.
