Please try to avoid paraphrasing specific writing examples included in this tutorial. Your writing will hopefully represent you as an individual, and be uniquely in your style. The following samples are provided to give you an idea of a possible range of responses. We also welcome submissions outside of the styles presented.

Whenever possible, please try to use concrete and specific examples.

We strongly recommend that you finish your application with enough time for someone else to proofread your work. Or, give yourself enough time away from your writing, so that you can come back with a fresh mind to edit it yourself.

Please try to relax and enjoy the process of creating your application! This is almost guaranteed to make your application stronger.
 

Notes regarding the research project:

• you are not committed to pursuing any of your application project ideas during the UCR program
• mentors are only selected once the program begins
