Are you struggling with writing an authentic and competitive personal statement? Does it feel too cliché or fail to capture what makes you stand out as a candidate? At Untapped Admissions, we’ve developed a structured yet personalized Personal Statement Formula that makes the writing process more digestible for students by breaking it down into shorter, more manageable writing sections.
Our formulaic approach ensures that every personal statement follows a compelling and cohesive narrative. We start with a strong hook or theme, drawing the reader in with a unique anecdote or insight that sets the tone. From there, we explore your background, obstacle, or realization, where you reflect on a pivotal experience that shaped your perspective. Next, we focus on your unique personal growth moment, demonstrating how you overcame challenges and developed emotionally, physically, and spiritually as a person. The action step strategically integrates your extracurriculars and leadership roles, seamlessly connecting them to your story’s theme while showcasing your impact on your community. Finally, we conclude with why you are a competitive applicant, tying every piece of your personal statement together to illustrate why you are a perfect fit for your chosen schools and how your experiences have prepared you both professionally and academically.
By following this step-by-step approach, we take the stress out of writing and help you craft an essay that is both authentic and competitive. Untapped Admissions is here to ensure your personal statement not only stands out but tells a story that resonates with admissions committees and highlights the best version of you.
