Personal Statement questions

[Bubal]

Hello everyone,

I'm working in my personal statement (ps), but I've been working in one but not taking consideration any guidelines. So, how can I answer this questions?

Please upload an essay of two or three pages, double-spaced, describing your career goals, your interest in the ***** School, and how your education and work experience qualify you for admission. Please be specific about what impact or contribution you hope to make in the field of public service and how the **** School will support your goals.

Should I stick to what is asked? or, can I introduce some personal experience in order to let me know as a candidate?

I'm doing extra reseach about the schools because as an international student I don`t have a lot of information.

Cheers

Though they call it a personal statement, the prompt reads like the usual SOP. You can preface your SOP with some personal experience, if it's relevant, but I'd suggest devoting the bulk of the essay to the questions asked. Which means, concenrating on your research interests, your future plans and goals, and fit.
