Personal Statement

Graduate School

Hey all,

I don’t know if any of you feel the same way, but for me writing the personal statement has been a very daunting process. Many schools ask really vague questions to which there seems to be no single good approach. While struggling with what to write for my statement, and how personal is too personal, I have stumbled upon Essay Edge website. It has some really good advice about the things that you should and should not write about. There are a few lessons on specific things that the personal statement consists of, which are very helpful. I hope you look through them if you need more guidance with your paper!
