Tips for writing a personal statement
9 days ago by Najwa Yaminah
A personal statement or SOP is normally written for getting admission to a college or university, and they are usually shorter, around 500 words. In those 500 words, you have to make yourself stand out from other applicants, as the admission committee is typically busy and they do not have time to read a lot of applications. So, you need to write a SOP that showcases your skills, knowledge, success, and experience. In the interim time, do not forget to seek support from a personal statement helper. Tips are as follows.
Open with a concrete scene
Open up with motivation
Write a body section- write a compelling narrative
Talk about your skills and experience
Consider how your qualifications aid the programs
