PERSONAL STATEMENTS OR PERSONAL HISTORY 
STATEMENTS MOST COMMONLY COME IN TWO 
TYPES OF DOCUMENTS. ONE’S THAT ARE 500 
LONG (MOST
UNIVERSITIES TAKE THIS) AND THEN ONES WHICH 
ARE 2000-5000 WORDS LONG.
Requires you to put a lot in just a couple of paragraphs.
So, one must really dig deep into their past, their 
history, current and future all in these three paragraphs. 
Every line in this statement matters, from the first line of 
introduction to how you end it. It’s basically a 500-word 
story that starts with an intro, a body or conclusion. A 
student should focus on who they are and their identity 
in the introduction. 
TH D    •e 500-wor Read up on what the university is asking for.
Some ask for personal achievements, some ask for prior 
PERSONAL experience, every university has its unique way of 
approaching the personal history statement.
STATEMENT  
• Write a personal history statement that is 1000
words. Then start editing.
     
• Edit Edit! Edit! and get it proofread by an authentic 
source. (This source should have a proven record in 
the mantra of writing)
 
THE 2000- Usually required in technical graduate schools or professional 
5000 fields. In these statements, the student should include details of their work experience or if you’re straight applying from an 
undergrad program, your achievements throughout school 
STATEMENT year aside from your grades (every IVY league knows you 
have good grades, that’s why you’re applying).
OF PURPOSE    
• For an MBA candidate, the university might ask for a 
previous project worked on with a company after you’ve 
completed your bachelors or something to do with finance 
that you did aside from your work at school.
   
• A Liberal Arts candidate might have to show a portfolio of 
their work. This could come in the form of published 
articles, digital video work, social media posts or 
something. This works amazing and shows creativity in the 
student.

PROOF READING 
AND EDITING:
We emphasize on proofreading and editing because a personal history 
statement at an IVY league school or any other university in America UK 
or Canada counts for 35% of the student’s admission. Every student, 
while writing their statement can think that since they have such and 
such achievements, that they would be accepted. That’s not the case. 
 
A proofreader takes out stuff that the student can’t see. A student might 
emphasize too much on their achievements while it looks a bit showy to 
the reader, a proofreader will fix that.
Keeping in mind that the Statement of Purpose, SOP, Personal History 
Statement or whatever you want to call it weighs at 35% of your chances into 
your university, it is recommended that you spend at least a month in 
perfecting your statement. In this month, a counselor and the student should
actively engage in editing the statement. Write out everything that comes to 
your mind and hand it to your counselor, guidance is always necessary in 
these types of writings. As the saying goes: Behind every great leader, there 
is someone who said, “This email looks good, now send it”.
