Personal Statement for transfer admission

AI Thread 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.
