Sofakin Posted May 2, 2017 Posted May 2, 2017 I'm currently a junior soon to be senior in high school looking to attend a 4 year university. I'm preparing to write my personal statements for the upcoming fall semester in my senior year. I wanna know what was your personal statement like. Some helpful tips for me would be nice also.
Turkoize Posted May 2, 2017 Posted May 2, 2017 (edited) Ok since nobody is helpful/still 15 or are dropouts I'll give some advice since I just wrote mine for graduate school. Make your personal statement captivating off the bat while conforming to their requirements. The guys in admissions read these on the daily so make sure they don't groan when they read your shit. Some people say sob stories are cliché but if it's true it's true. Make yours unique, make it something they haven't seen before so they don't associate you with everyone else, unless you go somewhere like ASU where nobody gives a shit. I'd say more but I'm too drunk. Edited May 2, 2017 by turkoize 1

Juggles Posted May 2, 2017 Posted May 2, 2017 I didn't have one of these when I applied to college, rather we had to write 2 essays on topics they provided. I say just be honest in it and make it interesting
