What the hell is a UC PIQ?!

for context I'm a first generation immigrant, no money for college consultant or anything fancy, only rlly aiming for the UCs and CSUs because I can't go out of state (CC is pretty much my safety); just writing off of vibes but I keep getting conflicting info abt how to write PIQs...

Initially thought they were supposed to be straight forward but classmates with essay instructors and college consultants have PIQs that are more descriptive, which made me change my writing style a bit more.

So far I've written PIQ #2, #4, #7 and currently writing #6. If anyone who's familiar with the writing style of PIQs can help me out, that would be amazing! (Esp anyone in Berkeley RCNR for plant bio and genetics bc that's my intended major)
