College Personal Statement

  Write a list of extracurricular activities, work experience, any awards/achievements, your skills- remember to try and keep these relevant to the course.

  You want to show all your skills and experiences that will make you a strong candidate for the course, use your list from the plan to think about what is most relevant for the course. Remember to explain why these experiences are relevant and how they have prepared you for the course. For example- you might have a part-time job in a restaurant, which has given you good time-management skills, and good communication skills from your interaction with the public.

     Don't just list everything you do - remember to explain why the example is relevant and the skills you have gained from it.
