Personal Statement Brainstorm Sheet

When advising your students to write their personal statement, it is important to encourage substance over style in the initial planning stages. Sourcing content that demonstrates how a student’s history and abilities apply to the subject they are applying for will allow the statement to be interesting and impressive, without falling into arrogance.

This brainstorm sheet is the way to figure out what that content will be. Give your students this sheet to help them begin to think about the information they want to include in their personal statement.
