Admissions Essays

[thespeechblog.com]

Hi Everyone, I'm asking for a favor...

I'm putting together a series of blog posts on writing your personal statement (or SOP) for grad school admissions. I'm wondering if people who have already gotten in wouldn't mind sharing parts of their essays with me to publish as examples in the post (anonymously or not). 

Specifically, I'm looking for examples of how you made the essay stand out, which is one thing essay writers struggle with. Also, I'd be interested in hearing about how you customized the essay for each school you applied to. Any other good advice you have or have been given on writing personal statements would be more than welcome! 

Feel free to reply here or send me a personal message or even email: michael@thespeechblog.com
