Personal Statement writing

A personal statement is a short (usually up to 800 words) essay in which you are asked to reflect on why you are the best candidate for the course you are applying to. These pieces are read by experienced admissions officers and lecturers in your subject. You get only one chance to make your first impression - and in case of personal statement, this is the only one that's going to count.

You may be crazy talented and have a lot to say, even more to accomplish if accepted, but how do you fit all that into 800 words, especially if writing is not something you are particularly good at? They say: "write it yourself" and "no one knows you better than you" - that seems to make sense. And yet, between two essays, yours might not be picked, because it will not be structured according to the ideals of the people reading it, or something crucial might be missing.

Writing a personal statement for college: tips

If you decided to do it all by yourself, research is unavoidable. Some universities set out transferrable skills (leadership, time management, problem solving etc.) they are looking for in the applicants - make sure to do your research and find them to work them into your paper, expanding on the most relevant ones.

Your personal statement will consist of three logical parts. In the first section you will speak about why you chose to apply for this course, how it will help you achieve you goals. Well-written introduction is crucial - so you must make it eye-catching to stand out among students just like you. In the middle section, make sure to list the skills that will help you excel, elaborating on how you developed those skills. The third section has to convince the reader you are just what the college is looking for. Make sure to finish strong by writing a single line that perfectly sums up everything you said, making your personal statement memorable.

When you actually write your personal statement, make sure to:

• Be concise, keep things short and make every word count - you will use the allowed 800 words in no time, and there is a lot you need to fit in there.
• Show why you are the one they should pick over the other applicants, leaving no doubt about it.
• Be very specific about your transferrable skills and experiences. Generic phrases will have your application casted aside without a doubt.
• Check the finished piece a few times - first yourself, then with an online spell checker and plagiarism checker. It helps to get a fresh pair of eyes to read it as well.
• Be truthful - everything you write may and will be checked during the interview. Even the least significant of your experiences can sound relevant and impressive if you find the right way to describe them.

These, of course, are just the basics of writing a personal statement. If you firmly decided to write your personal statement all by yourself, make sure to search for more specific guidelines from the university you intend to apply to.
