Always get a second opinion. It is very wise to ask a trusted friend or family member to read through your personal statement. A fresh pair of eyes may spot a mistake we would not have. Getting some general advice on how it sounds and flows is also good.

Do some general research on what a good personal statement looks like. Sometimes, universities have their own tips, so it is always best to check their websites for advice. For example, BCU has a webpage all about writing a great personal statement. You can check it out here -> https://bit.ly/47KUgR8

Finally, and probably the easiest, is to use spell check! You save yourself a lot of work by ensuring your spell check is on. The last thing anyone wants to see in a personal statement is a spelling mistake.
