PERSONAL STATEMENTS OR PERSONAL HISTORYSTATEMENTS MOST COMMONLY COME IN TWO TYPES OF
DOCUMENTS. ONE’S THAT ARE 500 LONG (MOSTUNIVERSITIES TAKE THIS) AND THEN ONES WHICH ARE 2000-
5000 WORDS LONG.
THE 500-WORDPERSONAL
STATEMENT
Read up on what the university is asking for.
Write a personal history statement that is 1000
Edit Edit! Edit! and get it proofread by an authentic
source. (This source should have a proven record in the
mantra of writing)
Requires you to put a lot in just a couple of paragraphs.
So, one must really dig deep into their past, their history,
current and future all in these three paragraphs. Every line
in this statement matters, from the first line of
introduction to how you end it. It’s basically a 500-word
story that starts with an intro, a body or conclusion. A
student should focus on who they are and their identity in
the introduction.
Some ask for personal achievements, some ask for prior
experience, every university has its unique way of
approaching the personal history statement.
words. Then start editing.

For an MBA candidate, the university might ask for a
previous project worked on with a company after you’ve
completed your bachelors or something to do with finance
that you did aside from your work at school.
A Liberal Arts candidate might have to show a portfolio of
their work. This could come in the form of published articles,
digital video work, social media posts or something. This
works amazing and shows creativity in the student.
Usually required in technical graduate schools or professional
fields. In these statements, the student should include details of
their work experience or if you’re straight applying from an
undergrad program, your achievements throughout school year
aside from your grades (every IVY league knows you have good
grades, that’s why you’re applying).
THE 2000-5000STATEMENT OFPURPOSE
We emphasize on proofreading and editing because a personal history
statement at an IVY league school or any other university in America UK or
Canada counts for 35% of the student’s admission. Every student, while
writing their statement can think that since they have such and such
achievements, that they would be accepted. That’s not the case.
A proofreader takes out stuff that the student can’t see. A student might
emphasize too much on their achievements while it looks a bit showy to
the reader, a proofreader will fix that.
PROOF READING ANDEDITING:
Keeping in mind that the Statement of Purpose, SOP, Personal History Statement or whatever youwant to call it weighs at 35% of your chances into your university, it is recommended that you spend
at least a month in perfecting your statement. In this month, a counselor and the student shouldactively engage in editing the statement. Write out everything that comes to your mind and hand it to
your counselor, guidance is always necessary in these types of writings. As the saying goes: Behindevery great leader, there is someone who said, “This email looks good, now send it”.
