Personal Statement Essay For College

When you apply to college, graduate school, law school, medical school, or even an intensive summer training session, you will most likely be asked to write a personal statement essay.

What exactly does a personal statement essay entail? As the name implies, the personal statement essay is your chance to communicate your non-academic side to the admissions committee at the institution of your choice. Show them your creative side if it’s a strictly cerebral program like math or science for which you are applying. If it’s a liberal arts degree that you are in pursuit of, consider using your personal statement essay to demonstrate your organizational skills and motivation to succeed in your chosen field.

So how do you go about utilizing your personal statement essay to communicate the aspects of your personality that will convince the admissions committee to accept you? Simple. Choose an anecdote, something humorous if possible, a story that demonstrates how witty, clever, intelligent, fun, and classy you are.

Ultimately, the admissions committee is looking for applicants who will do them and their institution proud. Your personal statement essay is a great way to show them just how well you will do when you graduate from their school or program. By demonstrating how incredible you already are, you improve your chances of impressing them with the likely success that you will attain after acquiring their degree.

Have fun with your personal statement essay. Don’t be shy about letting the admissions committee get to know you. After all, likeability is a huge factor in most interviewing and application situations and with a great personal statement essay you can convince them with a few choice words.
