Personal statement = potential to shine! Your personal statement is your opportunity to successfully market yourself. Whether you are applying to medical school, business school, or law school, applying for a scholarship or fellowship, or applying for a position in your field, you can distinguish yourself by presenting a compelling, informative personal statement that impacts your readers.
The personal statement is usually either a general statement or a response to a specific question or questions. The general statement gives you the freedom to decide what to write about and how to shape your material. The answer to a specific question demands that you address the question with thought, precision, conviction, and enthusiasm.
