Abstract

The personal statement reflects your personality to the program you are applying for. So always take the personal statement very seriously, this represents you before you meet your interviewers face to face for the interview. Make sure there should be no plagiarism, no grammar mistake. Start writing it as early as possible and proofread it multiple times. Start early, finish better.

We do not need magic to transform our world. We carry all of the power we need inside ourselves already ~J. K. Rowling
