-- Posted by Toyah at 11:21 am on July 7, 2008 writing personal statements is always tricky, but like mine was wild, my sister helped me do mine, what was the thing that showed your personality more? like my opening was the lyrics to the fast food rockers, fast food song, silly as it is, i got accepted by all my choices. So what made yours show you? -- Posted by jennay at 11:22 am on July 7, 2008 i wrote about a time i got lost for three hours in the woods. -- Posted by penguinsrule at 11:23 am on July 7, 2008 i dont actually remember what i wrote lol. all i know is it worked -- Posted by Natsy at 11:23 am on July 7, 2008 is that for uni? -- Posted by Toyah at 11:24 am on July 7, 2008 Quote: from Natsy at 7:23 pm on July 7, 2008 is that for uni? indeed. -- Posted by amiee at 11:27 am on July 7, 2008 i can't even remember. i think i wrote about the first time i realised how much i love studying history - the first time i realised it actually really, really meant something to me. then i went off on one about why it's so important to study and all that. i obviously put in all the usual stuff that you need to put in, too. i was also accepted by all my choices so it must have been alright. edit: oh yeah, i started mine off standing in front of thiepval in belgium. -- Posted by Octavio at 8:52 pm on July 7, 2008 I talked about my community and how I want to help it become better.  I also wrote about my experience as part of the Cross Country team...it worked! -- Posted by TheatreMinelli at 8:35 am on July 9, 2008 Mine was relly boring and not very individual. And it's moot now since it was all about Drama and now I study Politics. -- Posted by Just Waiting Here at 10:23 am on July 9, 2008 I'll be honest, I wrote my essays last minute, didn't read them over either.  One of my essays was short by 200 words as well... and I handed it in at 12:03, three minutes after the deadline. I'm still shocked that I got in to that school, and I refuse to go back and read the essays I wrote, they must have been horrible.  Ironically, I also got into a pretty good school... lol.
