Hey all, I'm working on my UC application essays and I'm not exactly sure about the word count limits. What's the maximum word count for the Personal Insight Questions? Is it the same for all UC campuses?
Hey! Yes, the word count limit for the Personal Insight Questions (PIQs) is the same for all UC campuses. Each response is limited to a maximum of 350 words. There are four required PIQs, so you'll be writing 1,400 words in total.
Keep in mind, it's essential to stay within this word limit to ensure your essays are fully reviewed. Make sure to review your responses carefully to adhere to this limit and communicate your experiences, values, and goals effectively. Good luck with your application!
