Personal Statements

Start writing some thoughts down for your personal statement. Remember that your statement is the most important part of your application.

Just to get you started thinking, answer the questions in the textbook and then decide the direction that you want to go.

We will be doing a great deal of work in class on writng the first paragraph. It needs to be strong. You need to hook the reader in immediately.

Get a head start and read the chapter on personal statements. You might even go into Google and key in SCHOLARSHIP PERSONAL STATEMENTS. You'll find a number of examples and many tips.
