How to write personal statement 1. Write everything important happened in your life to google doc or to notebook 📓 (It's also called reflection)
2. Don't read any sample essays. Choose one topic or one story that changed your life. If you want, you can also write several important things happened in your life. Just keep writing untill you write all things you wanna say.
3. Don't look at Common app essay prompts because they aren't important. Write in a way you speak. Don't worry about grammar or anything coz it's your first draft. It is okay even it doesn't look like a personal statement (PS).
4. Now you are done with first draft, so it's time to check grammar and rewrite the essay. Remove unnecessary, cliche and repetitive sentences.
5. Now focus on the beginning and ending because these parts should be unique, interesting and memorable. Otherwise, Admission officers will forget what your essay was about which can lead to rejection.
6. Get feedback from trustworthy and experienced people to improve the weak areas which you didn't notice.
7. Read aloud and make the final edits. Keep in mind it's just one part of your application. I mean AOs will review your application holistically so don't overthink too much. Just be yourself because your essay should tell who you are.
