Hey everyone,

I’ve been working on my personal statement recently, and honestly, it’s been harder than I thought. Every draft I do feels either too generic or just doesn’t capture who I am properly.

Out of frustration, I started looking around for examples and guidance, and I stumbled across this personal statement . What I liked about it was how they explained breaking down experiences into a story rather than just listing achievements — it gave me a fresh perspective. After applying some of their advice, my draft finally started to sound more confident and less like a template.

I’m curious though — do you all think getting help with personal statements is worth it? Has anyone here used a professional service for this before? Did it make a noticeable difference when applying to jobs or universities?
