We are so lucky to have once again college admission representatives from both the private and public sector to discuss their experiences and desires when reading personal statements for college undergraduate admissions. You will also get expert advise from St. Ignatius College Counseling Department on how to start, things to keep in mind and the importance of authenticity. Thank you to Jonathan Rice from the University of San Francisco and Jesus Ramirez from the University of Vermont who will tell you the answer is often, "it depends."
