45、50Essential qualities of a good personal statement1. Admission officers look for motivation and character. They want to know whether you have good academic reasons for wanting to study in their institution and whether you have had enough training / qualification to ensure the success of your further

46、 academic pursuit.2. The secret of a good personal statement is, probably, a natural and unpretentious style. There is no need to resort to flourishing language, or to try to flatter the university by telling them how prestigious they are, or how beautiful their campus is. They know this already-what they want to know is more about YOU. In saying things about yourself, avoid emotive adjectives like excellent, remarkable, great, wonderful. etc Such high-sounding and vague modifiers would only produce a negative effect-being insincere or self-conceited.
