What do we learn about you?
What do we learn about you?
The essay should reveal something about you that is not evident in your application. Your personality. Convictions. Beliefs. Temperament. Intellect. Curiosity. Imagination. Creativity.
You know this. You've got this!
Finetune. Before finalizing your essay, read it aloud. Notice if there are areas that need adjusting. Does it flow? It should capture your personality and point of view.
Feedback. If you are working with a college consultant or coach, follow their advice. Remember, the personal statement is one part of your application, and it serves a specific purpose. Random feedback is unproductive.
