• 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. Its 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.
• Read up on what the university is asking for.
• Some ask for personal achievements, some ask for
  prior experience, every university has its unique
  way of approaching the personal history
  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)

• Usually required in technical graduate schools or
  professional fields. In these statements, the
  student should include details of their work
  experience or if youre straight applying from an
  undergrad program, your achievements throughout
  school year aside from your grades (every IVY
  league knows you have good grades, thats why
  youre applying).
• For an MBA candidate, the university might ask
  for a previous project worked on with a company
  after youve 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.

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
