What is a "personal statement"?
A personal statement is a written description where an individual explains their motivations, experiences, and qualifications for applying to a school, program, or job. It allows the applicant to present themselves beyond just academic records or resumes, offering insights into their personality, goals, and how they align with the opportunity they are seeking. Personal statements often highlight key achievements, challenges overcome, and aspirations, helping admissions committees or employers understand the applicant's background and fit for the position.
