Personal Statement Help/Editing

Hi!

Hi

Instead of posting your personal statement here (which could lead to someone stealing it and passing it off as their own work), you'd be better off submitting it to the PS Help forum, where someone with relevant expertise will be able to take a look at it and give you feedback.

Oh ok great, thank you. I didn't know that forum existed!

PS Help generally doesn't look at postgrad statements

Hi!

So I'm working on writing my first personal statement and I was wondering if anyone would be willing to look over it once I've almost finished?
I've never written a personal statement before and I know that this is going to be a really important part of my application-- I have the marks, but they aren't outstanding, so I really need to wow them with my statement!

I have been told that using headings is effective, so I have come up with the following: Interest & Experience in Global Health, My Skills, Work & Career Goals, Interest in King's.
(I am applying for an MSc Global Heath with Disasters & Adaptation at King's College London)

Any help or advice would be awesome, so let me know if you are willing. Perhaps I could post it on this thread soon.

How did you get into your undergrad degree without a personal statement? Maybe ask someone at your current university to look.

I am from Canada and it was not a requirement for me.
And, I will, thanks.
