How to write Personal Statement for college admition?

We Answered:

The personal statement is just basically telling about yourself or as an introduction. You could tell your name, your location and what you plan on majoring in and what you want to do with your major in the future. You could also include why you chose their college.

How do i write a personal statement for two courses Pharmacy and Radiography ?

We Answered:

To be honest, you can't. Those who attempt to usually end up with very few conditionals. Unless you're applying for two different related subjects which you wish to study within the same degree (e.g. BA Ancient History with Archaeology) or you're going for a joint honours, it's application suicide.

Pick one or the other, or just apply to mostly below standard Universities which are likely to give most applicants places.

Personal Statement

A personal statement is a very important part of the admission process and so should not be overlooked. More and more universities rely upon your statement in place of the interview as a means of assessing your attitude. They want to get to know you as a person as well as a student and so your statement is a window to what makes you tick. Make sure that it is a true reflection of you. It is an opportunity to demonstrate attributes that are not obvious from your application form or your grades alone such as your intellectual curiosity, what motivates you and your outlook on life.

Never be tempted to over-embellish your achievements. If you try to be someone else, it will be obvious to the admission officers. Even if you haven’t scaled Everest or spent all of your spare time volunteering, you can still create a positive impression. Speak from the heart using your own words and phrases. Clearly state why studying at university is important to you and set out your goals for future achievement.

Make your essay stand out by taking a creative approach to writing about yourself. Often your first thoughts about how to evidence a particular life choice will be the same as everyone else so be sure to take that extra bit of time to explain it in a different and more original way.
Try and take a step back and objectively review your qualities then make certain that your statement focuses on these. Have your overcome adversity or encouraged and guided others? Have you had a moment when you realised why you enjoy your subject? Tell the story around these experiences. Universities want mature, committed and determined students who are able to demonstrate original thought. Be sure to show how you fit their criteria.

How can i write my Personal statement for a social work degree?

We Answered:

Just write it honestly.
Why do you want to do Social work? To help others?
Then add what experience you have had (either volunteer or paid), why you think the SW course would be beneficial to you. What you hope to do after your degree etc.
