Hi Anmol, writing a personal statement can be challenging especially if it's your first time. I think this is the best way to write it. First, begin with a strong, engaging statement that reflects your passion for computer science. You could mention what initially sparked your interest in the field. Talk about your experience since joining college in 2022, including any specific projects, courses, or experiences that deepened your interest in computer science. Mention any challenges you’ve faced and how they’ve shaped your understanding and determination to succeed in this field.
Try to highlight some of the skills you've developed, such as problem-solving, programming, or teamwork, and any achievements, like high grades in specific modules, awards, or extracurricular activities related to computer science. You can also explain why you are passionate about pursuing computer science at the university level. What aspects of the course excite you? How does it align with your future career goals? Then you can conclude with your long-term goals. Where do you see your computer science degree taking you? How do you plan to contribute to the field? etc.
