POWERFUL
PERSONAL
STATEMENT WITH
HELP OF SAMPLES
WHAT IS A PERSONAL
STATEMENT?
 Personal statement involves writing about
person’s achievements, experience, skills
and ambitions in purpose to present yourself
as the best-suited candidate for a particular
university program.
 You need to persuade the admission why you
are so interested in the course and what you
personally are able to bring to it.
 It can be crucial for those whose grades are
far from high or when the program is
extremely competitive so with a powerful
personal statement it is possible to
compensate it.
 Personal statement samples for college are
intended to show how an appropriate paper
looks like according to the required standards.
It is a guidance that helps to improve your own
personal statement format, structure, style
and the whole paper’s look.
 Nevertheless, you must not copy PA school
personal statement examples and use as it is
your own writing. It is a plagiarism and won’t
end well for you. Copying an example only
show you as a lazy and absolutely
disinterested person. Use personal statement
samples for inspirations and write about
yourself in the way that will stand you out
above other applicants. The clue is in the
“personal” so there are no two identical
 However, following some tips how to write a
personal statement for UCAS examples, your
writing will be successful for sure. Begin with
putting yourself in the shoes of the admission
committee; they are looking for students with
valuable life experience, good academic and
professional achievements. Show you are
exactly what they are looking for.

 An introduction is the most important thing that will
grab your tutors’ attention or lose it. You have to make
a good first impression so start with something
extraordinary, intriguing, interesting or even surprising.
Such UK personal statement examples always hook
readers 100%.

2. Write
about
motives why
you are so
eager about
studying the
course
3. Be
specific
from the
first line
Good high school personal statement samples
include evidence of person’s experience and
concrete details. Instead of vague and unproven
sentences like “I am a communicative extrovert
with a high level of confidence” show that you
really have such skills: “At a high school, I took
part in a scientific conference where I gave a
speech on social issues to an audience of
approximately 50 people”.
4. Explain why you are the best for the
course – this a must-have in each
undergraduate personal statement essay
examples
 Provide all evidence that proves you meet
the selection criteria; research the course,
be prepared for everything that it will
involve. Show tutors that you consciously
want to do the course.
5. Say about your non-academic and that they are
relevant to the chosen course
 Volunteering, summer schools, outreach program,
work experience, classes, books or blogs you’ve
read, museums or theatres you’ve visited, public
lectures, archaeological digs, travel, competitions
relevant to the subject – all these present you not
only as a proactive person but also show that
you’ve been developing your interest in the chosen
field of studying.
6. Say about your skills
 Skills like an ability to work independently or in a
team, excellent time management, being a
leader, organizational skills, problem-solving are
very valuable. However, do not just name it, give
specific examples. For instance, in what project
did you play a role of a leader, what did you
achieve, what were your responsibilities, how did
you manage them, etc.
 Skills are vital in personal statement examples
for jobs.
7. What are your long-term goals?
 In personal statement MBA samples students do
not just tell “I want to be a sociologist”. This
statement won’t stand you out from the crowd.
If you are not sure yet about your future plan,
say you eagerly want to be accepted and what
you expect to get from university life.
8. Be positive
 Do not panic. Talk positively about yourself. You’re
enthusiastic and strong person that deserves a place in
the program, aren’t you? Focus on that.
 In scholarship personal statement samples there is
always a “wow effect”. Explain why you are so special.
Include the most impressive information about yourself
at the start of each paragraph.
9. In personal statement for PHD examples point out all
your strengths
 Do no feel uncomfortable when you’re writing about yourself and don't
you dare to minimize your achievements – they are proofs that you are
a valuable candidate.
10. Words and expressions matter
 Try to find the perfect words: instead of “do” use “accomplish”,
prefer “assume” rather than “think”. Make your writing elegant and
professional. However, be careful because too many fancy expressions
can make UC application personal statement examples hard to read.
Be honest
 A lie is not a
good way to
start for any
personal
statement for
residency
samples. Don’t
create an
insincere image
as the truth will
always come out
sooner or later.
Even if you have
More personal statement tips…
Ask for help to proofread your AMCAS personal
statement sample
 A second look and a different perspective are always valuable. Your
friends, classmates, parents or whoever else can find grammar,
spelling mistakes or some flows that you haven’t noticed. Do not
forget to read Freshman applicant personal statement examples
out loud several times.
A personal statement law school samples is
not a brief story of your whole life. Exclude
all unnecessary facts that only take space
away from pointing out your experience,
professionalism, intelligence and a strong
interest in the chosen field.
Do not forget to use professional
terminology and passive voice wherever it
is appropriate.
Get rid of clichés
 For example, medical personal statement
samples shouldn’t include statements like “I
really good at anatomy and want to help other
people”. This statement is often repeated and
far from original.
 Your statements should be lively, fresh, catchy so
you will not bore the admissions committee.
Make your story memorable so you will definitely
distinguish yourself.
 If a sentence sounds nice but
doesn’t give any valuable
details, delete it immediately.
Besides, the tone must be
positive, professional and
formal as well. Don’t use jokes,
slang or contractions as tutors
who will read your statement
are academics.
