#097 – On this episode, we continue talking about the personal essay or the personal statement. We begin by reminding you of a few very important facts to keep in mind about the essay, and analyze precisely what it is that you will be asked to do as you tackle this very important component of your college application. Jankel and I continue our conversation by going over the steps to follow when choosing the prompt from the Common App that you will use to write your own personal statement. We provide a vivid example by analyzing the writing requirements for Brown University as they are presented on the Common App. Brown University is an institution that requires both a personal statement and a writing supplement. We end the episode by presenting 17 questions you can answer to help you develop the material you will need to as you answer the prompts from the Common App. You can find the show notes for this episode, including the full list of the 17 questions presented on the episode, at https://collegemetropolis.com/97.
