Basic Questions:  

1. Where is this college? Is it too close/far from home? Are you comfortable with the weather there?  

2. How big is the school? Are you comfortable with the size of undergraduates attending the school?  

3. Is this a coed or single sex school? Does it have any religious affiliation? If so, how do you feel about this?  

4. What is the graduation rate? Do people normally graduate in 4 years? 5 years? 

5. Do you know what major you are interested in? Do any programs in particular interest you? 

6. How much is it to attend? Is financial aid available?  

Going beyond the basics:  

1. What are some of the strong academic programs offered at this college?  2. What characterizes the social life? How many students join fraternities or 

sororities? How do you feel about this?  3. Do you feel you will be able to take the courses you want with ease?  4. Will it be easy for you to explore different academic interests? Will you be

3. Are there any other qualifications you must have in order to apply?   

Personal Statement Tips: 

Writing your personal statement can be a very overwhelming task, but by taking small steps, you will find, it’s very simple!  

A few questions to think about before writing:  

1. What are some important experiences I’ve had in my life? Is there anything that comes to mind when I think of a challenge I had to overcome?  

2. What is something I am passionate about? Can I think of any activity that I have spent a great deal of my time doing? How has this contributed to who I am as a person?  

3. Is there anyone who has greatly influenced me? How has this person changed my thought process? How am I a better person now, in comparison to when I first met this person?  

4. What are your goals in life? How do they relate to a possible career choice? What have I done to explore this interest of mine? 

5. Is there a particular quality that I posses that makes me stand out? How have I displayed this in my everyday life?  

It is important to remember that although you may think certain things you have been through or do on a day‐to‐day basis are “normal” or simply ordinary, other people think the contrary. Your experiences, thoughts, and personalities traits are what make you unique. College admissions personnel want to hear about you – they want to hear about the little things that make you who you are. Don’t be afraid to talk about something because it is different. Being different allows you to be noticed amongst the thousands of other applicants. Be daring and most importantly, be yourself!  

A few tips to remember when writing:  

Be specific: You do not have a lot of space to answer a question. Therefore, be concise and say what matters most. Do not ramble on or go off‐topic!  

Answer the question: Often times, you get caught up on a particular event or issue and you spend most of the essay explaining what happened, rather than answering how this particular event relates to you. Make sure you clearly state the answer to the question the prompt is asking.  

Write about something you know: Do not try to pretend to be someone you are not. It is best to write about something you are comfortable with and feel confident about. Don’t think you have to write about something because you think a college admissions officer wants to hear about it.  

Write in your own voice: Although it is important to keep a sense of professionalism in your essay by not using slang, try not to use words you do not know the meanings off. Although it is tempting to search a word in a thesaurus, try to use words you know. College admissions officers know when you awkwardly trying to use an overly complicated word.  

Avoid clichés: By all means, do not use clichés! If you want to be a doctor, do not write that you simply want “to help people”. Go beyond that thought. What do you want to do? Why does it matter to you?  

Open with a hook: Try to engage the reader with an interesting sentence to open your personal statement. Make them want to read your essay. If you are bored while writing this personal statement, what makes you think someone will have fun reading it?  

Check grammar and spelling: Make sure you have someone proofreading your personal statement to make sure you avoid any spelling or grammatical errors. These are the easiest mistakes to prevent! 

Ask others to read your personal statement: The best way to improve your personal statement is to have others critique it. Don’t be shy!
