What is a Personal Statement?
The personal statement or essay is an important part of the application process. In an essay format applicants can tell their personal story. I encourage applicants to start writing early because this is a process. The writing process will help applicants think about, and answer, questions like:
Why am I returning to college?
Where am I coming from? Where do I want to go?
Why do I want to study in this particular field?
What are my goals and aspirations?
