Personal statement help

Hi! Was wondering if anyone could give me any advice on this.
I’ve decided that I want to apply for international social and public policy at LSE and if I were to get an offer from here, I would firm it.
However, most unis don’t do this course so I’d be applying for other subjects instead for my remaining 4 choices. Right now, I’m thinking mainly about applying for international relations/social sciences.
Does anyone have any advice on writing my ps to fit all this?

Hi,

I would recommend trying to include things that are relevant to both courses - for example would both courses lead to the same career? What skills and experience do you have that applies to both courses?

Hope that helps!
