The personal statement or the college essay is something that is covered in most high school junior and senior English classes. So why offer an internet service to students who, for the most part, have access to this information already? Here are four good reasons:

• Many students don't always grasp what's involved in writing an effective personal statement sitting in a crowded classroom and therefore end up confused and frustrated
• We provide one-on-one service as opposed to most high school classes that have 25-35 students.
• We have more time to tutor struggling students than the average high school English teacher
• Our Berkeley and UCLA educated editors have years of experience teaching writing to students with a wide range of writing skills. In other words, we've been there done that.

When writing the personal statement keep the focus on the word "personal." It must be about you; it must reveal who you are to the reader. For this reason your statement must be authentic and real. Colleges and universities have many different ways to ask the same question but in the long run, they all boil down to the same thing: "Tell us about yourself; tell us something about you that is not obvious from looking at your SAT scores, your highschool grades or your application file."

Avoid personal statements that focus on the following:

The class president essay (2) Failure in sports essay
(3) Lessons learned from foreign travel essay
(4) The trials and tribulations of being yearbook editor essay

The above essay topics are overused and as a result bore admissions people to death. By the time admissions officers have slogged through several thousand essays, they are suffering from essay fatigue. That is why your personal statement must be authentic and interesting to pierce the fatigue barrier. If it's not, chances are the reader won't make it past the first paragraph.
