statement<\/a><\/strong>. We will review below those key points that reduce the strength of your document, and those that give it impact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\u201cweak\u201d statements<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n- They include irrelevant data for the evaluation committee, or at least the candidate is not able to create the connection between himself, his personal history (values, experience, motivations) with the requested program\/university.<\/li>
- They use language that is excessively generic and poorly adapted to the particular candidacy. It is always important that each application indicates in some way where the application is being sent, since each case is different and has special characteristics.<\/li>
- They are out of focus. It must be clearly reflected in the document that the experience\/motivation\/prior knowledge\/interests\/values \u200b\u200bare aligned with the key points of the program or the university. Otherwise, it is clear to the committee that a specific candidate will not integrate properly, nor will he share objectives with the rest of the people involved.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n
\u201cstrong\u201d statements<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n- They perfectly connect the details provided by the candidate, that is, their experience\/values\/motivations, etc. With the program. This is very important to identify the best competitors, since the committee is convinced that the candidate has done an introspective exercise and knows where and what he is applying for.<\/li>
- They talk about specific personal experiences and extrapolate them to provide valuable information, especially regarding difficult situations and the candidate’s ability to adapt and overcome some of these tests. They serve to explain the life path of the candidate, why he is where he is.<\/li>
- They use confident, confident, and persuasive language.<\/li>
- They have no spelling mistakes. This is something essential that needs little clarification<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Tips for writing your own personal statement<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
We propose here a series of tips that will be very useful for you to prepare your own personal statement. In addition, it is important that you consider the key elements that we have previously mentioned for a strong personal statement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Before you begin, you should know that writing a good personal statement takes time. So be patient and be prepared to write and rewrite several drafts before the final version.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
- It is important that you do a self-discovery exercise, as well as a research exercise about the program\/university: its values, its history, etc. That way you can get an idea of \u200b\u200bhow to orient your text and connect both elements.<\/li>
- Explain why you want to study that course, and how it will be useful for your future career development, what plan you would like to develop. In other words, what is your motivation. It is not necessary that you focus on this point since the objective is that you postulate yourself as the best and not so much your objectives, but that you mention it.<\/li>
- Explain why you are suitable to enter that university\/training. This is the point where your application and the University\/education align, so it is very relevant. Do not repeat the data of your CV, that document has its own singularities and you must not be redundant.<\/li>
- Mention why you make that request, what has inspired you to do it.<\/li>
- It includes curricular and extracurricular experiences that may be of interest for training\/university.<\/li>
- Avoid clich\u00e9s and do not give too many details or tell anything irrelevant.<\/li>
- Use paragraphs of 3 to 5 lines, so that your text does not become heavy or boring for the evaluator. The approximate length is about 700 words, 1 or 2 pages.<\/li>
- Ask your teachers to read it, talk to people who have been through the same process. The advice provided from experience turns out to be an extraordinary help.<\/li>
- Finally, read what you have written and ask yourself: Am I telling you everything I can about my profile, abilities and strengths? What could I add to confirm my worth and my potential for this particular formation?<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n
