Personal Statement for transfer admission

Click For Summary
When preparing a personal statement for transferring to UIC for Electrical Engineering, it's crucial to focus on your academic journey, motivations for choosing UIC, and future career goals. While specific guidelines may not be provided, personal statements typically range from 500 to 1,000 words. It's important to highlight relevant experiences and skills that align with the program. If locked out of the admission application, contacting the university for assistance is necessary to regain access and clarify any requirements.

I'll be finishing up community college this fall and transferring to UIC for EE. What should I write in my personal statement? And how long should it be?

They didn't give you guidelines? My university was very specific about the questions they wanted answered and the word length of the responses.
 
I wanted to check but I am locked out of admission application login for excessive failed tries. I will have to call Monday. I swear to god I entered my pin right.
