Personal Statement

Be yourself - let the admissions committee get to know you through your essay.

Be clear and concise in your writing.

Provide concrete examples.

Carefully read the questions being asked.

Stay positive.

Revise, revise, revise!

Have others read your personal statement and give you advice.

Keep the tone professional (i.e., previous research experience, current research interests, other relevant experience, and career goals).

Avoid very emotional self-disclosures.
