Hello All,
I have finished writing my first and rough draft of my personal statement for admittance to a program in OT. I am looking for some feedback, anything would be greatly appreciated. Again, it is a first draft, I'm really just looking for some direction for revision.
Thanks in advance.

Your personal statement is a solid start. As a student in an OT program that helps with the interviewing processes, as well as being through the application myself, I would look to add aspects to your personal statement that really reflect who you truly are as a person. What makes you specifically unique from everyone else?? Really reflect on that and incorporate it into your essay. You want to stand out, but make sure you're being authentic in doing so. You don't want your essay to just be a repeat of your resume. Add some emotion, really get to the readers heart.
