For applications of students abroad, let them headaches is an instrument in writing; for those in the fierce competition in the tide of the lucky ones who offer made, the application file is undoubtedly feats. But how to write a good Personal Statement is often the most outstanding work.
Application document is it really so difficult to write? the answer, of course, is no. In fact, most applicants just did not understand the true meaning of Personal Statement, in a misunderstanding. As long as reasonably select footage, write a good Personal Statement is not very difficult.
Myth 1: the old lady feet¹ü½å²¼of--and smelly long
I often say "and the applicant Personal Statement is your stand-in. It across the seas arrives in the alien, in place of the applicant in the University's Accreditation Committee members show their presence. This substitute comparable stand-in important movies: Theater troubleshooting, you can remake; if application document not well written, the University may not let you override. Opportunities for applicants, it only once a year; he was the equivalent of one scholar, so be sure to choose a good substitute.
Many applicants are mistaken as the Personal Statement is the personal statement, they should be sufficient to introduce myself, so long-winded, can't wait to put fathers eight generations are written. The assessment Committee members saw the half-day still do not know what to do, this file is of course no interesting, often been left aside. You know, the appraisal Committee members every day to see the hundreds of applications file! so, articles should not go too long, be sure to come straight to allow reading of people know you as soon as possible. Li ping request is a media professional. Say you also may be difficult to believe that her Personal Statement labored over multiple word! I watched half would not want to read it. She writes from Grandpa, Grandma, the father and mother are also presented one by one; it's your turn to write her own when articles have written more than 2000 words. Next, she also gave his all and media related things like like column out liushuizhang.
Li ping long countenance and aura, the impression is very good. She has 13 years of age, and the fates of a radio station, select learning media professional background is very good. I believe that, if the appraisal Committee members to see her own words, will take her. But she selected the alias will not bring good luck to her, since reading her Personal Statement that gives the first impression is that this person is very verbose, no organized by such a person is not suitable for learning media. I put my feelings blunt told her, she started it is difficult to accept, because she thinks it should introduce myself from a different perspective of comprehensive introduction of myself. In fact, this understanding is wrong, the real meaning of Personal Statement is limited to space, selection of representative case to fully demonstrate their outstanding.
After talking with her, she accepted my proposal: the introduction of Grandpa, Grandma, father, mother of all deleted, because the information on the Accreditation Committee members is simply irrelevant--they need to understand is that the applicant himself, not his family. This article also remaining 4000 words or so, she later wrote the content missing details, just generally describe their was something very tedious. In fact, a Personal Statement of words should be between 800 to 1000 words. So, I directly asked her to put aside the original Personal Statement, told me her opinion and the media for the most memorable experience. I like this kind of heuristics, for an unforgettable experience, often have personal experience of frustrations and finally achieve the goal after a difficult story. Through these stories, readers can easily summarize the advantages of the applicant and such material is comparison is affected by the assessment Committee members welcome. We talked for two hours, in Exchange I constantly question to her, help her memories of that time feel. Finally, I suggested she chose four representative case to write a Personal Statement.
Finally write the Personal Statement only 900 words or so, concise, and let the readers in a very short time can she had a more comprehensive understanding. I really like this piece of Personal Statement, it had a vivid display at Li ping readers. Hard work pays off, she was admitted into the United States famous University and obtained a two-thirds of the scholarship.
