The Importance of a Personal Statement
Your personal statement is very important and should be taken seriously because this may be one of the only times you are able to show the admissions board who you are. Once piece of advice that I got when I was writing was to sit down and write the personal statement all at once. Then walk away from it for a day or two. Come back to it and decide if that is the way you want to portray yourself. Then, of course, take time to send your statement to a friend, colleague, or family member to review it.
