The personal statement is a critical tool in the university application process, particularly for professional schools.  The narrative illuminates a student’s potential and ambition as a compelling candidate for university faculties. 

Crafting this narrative requires meticulous attention - it can be the deciding factor in your application.  It is an opportunity to highlight achievements that may not fit conventional categories within the application – those proud moments in volunteer work, community service, or school activities, giving depth and context to your accomplishments. 

Your passion for the chosen field must shine through.  This is your platform to articulate a genuine enthusiasm for your academic path, and to share the stories that prove your decision to pursue this career. 

Moreover, the personal statement is a platform for you to address any less favourable aspects of your application, contextualise the numbers and facts, offer insights into your perspective – including any sports participation, which often resonates with U.S. schools, or explain gaps in education or test scores. 

An impersonal, formulaic statement can undermine even the most outstanding academic performance.  At Bearing Academy, our consultants collaborate closely with students to refine their narratives to capture the attention of admissions officers.  They ensure your statement is succinct and impactful, adhering to the one-page standard or specific institutional guidelines. 

Our guidance emphasizes strong, decision language, short paragraphs, and an engaging active tone to craft an authentic personal statement that is flawless. We insist on meticulous proofreading to eliminate grammatical errors or typos, ensuring the originality and integrity of your application.
