Structuring Your Personal Statement
A typical two-page personal statement will consist of the following:
 | An introductory paragraph that provides your essay's controlling theme |
| 2-4 body paragraphs that develop your theme through examples and detailed experiences
and build upon each other. The final body paragraph will contain your most poignant
information |
| A conclusion that widens the lens and wraps up your essay without summarizing or
repeating what has already been written |
