What you described basically sums up how i've written my other 8 personal statements. My question is asking whether there's something in addition that i'm supposed to add that would be considered "a brief autobiographical statement." I am not being asked for a statement of purpose.

I'm currently working on my personal statement and I am given a list of 5 things to include: 1. Brief autobiographical statement 2. Example of how I overcame an obstacle 3. Multicultural Experiences 4. Volunteer Experiences 5. How this program will help me meet my goals. I'm unclear about what i'm supposed to write for #1 - brief autobiographical statement. Isn't the whole thing really an autobiographical statement? For my other statements, I have a witty (eh, not really witty) introduction about what motivated my future career goals. Is that what they're looking for, or are they looking for more general information about me? I'm so confused! Please help!

Hi So i'm going borderline insane waiting for any word from graduate schools. My first application was due on December 1st. Selected applicants will be invited to an on-campus interview, which takes place during the first week of February... which is less than a month away. There is only 1 post on on the 'results' page for this particular program. It's from two years ago and the applicant found out on 1/17. Today is only 1/9.... BUT, the application was due 12/15 during that year, and 12/1 for this year. So theoretically, if it takes the same amount of time to review the applications, I should have heard back yet.... right? Is it too early to assume that I wasn't selected for an interview because I haven't heard back yet? How long should I wait before calling and asking? Yep, i'm definitely starting to go crazy.
