A successful one-shot deal into your
college or university – this is the student ideal. Like an arrow
hitting that red bull’s eye, students want it shot effective at one
arm’s strength of pulling, bending, and aiming. But alas! – This
couldn’t be the case.
Firstly, there are too many targets and
too many arching students. And the best deal amongst these is the
fact that your target schools are not willing to receive all arrows.
In effect, these institutions want the sharpest arrows. Good thing,
it’s not all about arrows; it’s about personal statement writing too.
With this statement writing, students
have the opportunity to be thoroughly inspected. Moreover, it offers
them the challenge to write their profound academic experience and
their budding potentials under the constraints of a word count.
Writing
a personal statement that introduces oneself is simple in
principle.
- You try to make your first impression good because first impression lasts.
- You try to make your hello a not-so awkward greeting (like it’s your ‘natural’ way).
- You try to be sensitive of the other person so as not to sound too self-contained or self-centred.
- You initiate identifying mutual connections (like, ‘your friend happens to be my cousin’).
These basics can also do tricks in your
writing a personal statement.
Starting with impression, students are recommended to choose an
image to project, such as a geek who likes sports, or an organisation
leader whose passion is tied to both academic pursuits and the latest
fashion.
In writing
a personal statement, students are always encouraged to write
it ‘natural’ – with their own vocabulary and context in tow.
Sensitivity to institution’s preferences will also lead students a
long way as this can be a good avenue for hunting out their
credential and matching it with those preferences.
