Need help with MPA personal statement editing

[hochen]

Hi, I was wondering if there was anybody that would be willing to take a look at my personal statement and give me some feedback? I'm currently applying for my Masters in Public Administration and the essay itself about 800 words. Unfortunately I made the decision to apply late in the admissions calendar because I had no idea such a program existed until I spoke a few months ago with a mentor. I actually wanted to go into law until I started actually working at a law firm, and lets just say that its not for me. Luckily I found a school that is still taking applications till July, so I'm going to just give it my best shot of going to school in the fall. Anyways, I'm a little bit confused about the whole process and what is typically expected from a personal statement for an MPA program.

It'd help me out a lot if a few people could take a quick look at my paper and tell me if theres any huge amounts of information missing, irrelevant info, things that might not be appropriate to talk about, etc. If you'd be willing, please let me know and we can work it out over PM.

Thanks!

I applied for mostly MPP programs but I'd be willing to take a look at it for you. (It will be a nice distraction from waiting for more emails or letters :] )
