Personal Statements: Are they the same every application cycle?

[kumapanda]

Are the personal statements posted online by schools the same every year?  Do school websites tell you when the application is first made available? 

 

How do you get access to CSULB's personal statement prompt?  Do you have to log into CSU Mentor's account to see it?  Does anyone know Loyola's prompt?  Thank you.

I think Long Beach's Prompt is available on their website under graduate admission. Last cycle it was to write a paragraph (no more than a page) outlining your experience. Not sure if a school changes them (they can though).

Ah, I just checked their website for Fall 2015 and it's the same thing.  I wonder if it applies to other schools, especially CSDCAS schools.
