    Help with Personal Statement
    Hey everyone!

    I wanted to ask who else is doing their personal statement early (as in now) and how you are finding it?

    I struggle with formal writing in general and writing about myself is extremely difficult for me. Has anyone got any tips about what to write about?

    Thanks

    Here you can read previous personal statements from other students by the subject, and get some tips on how to write one yourself.
