You’re unique. You have characteristics and attributes that make you different from all of the other students that are applying to the college you’re applying to. Use your personal statement as your opportunity to point out your prominent characteristics and the attributes that make you special.

You also need to provide supporting statements to show how these attributes are beneficial to your own personal, educational and career growth. You’ll also want to tie in how the college or university plays a role in helping you to achieve these goals.

The 10-part personal statement series is coming to an end in a few more days, so don’t miss out on the last few items you need to include in your personal statement to make it shine.

If you missed out on the previous six items every personal statement should include, be sure to check out our previous posts. Your personal statement may push you into the acceptance pile over all of the other college applications the admission officer receives.
