I am hoping to write winning personal statements as well - I have to write THREE for my program - and each is supposed to be a minimum of three pages. Sheesh!! Hard to stay creative. =)
3X3--what a pain! Sorry to hear it. That's ridiculous. I'd be amazed if the admissions committee does more than skim.
I think one way folks can distinguish themselves is by simply writing well (as momto4girls does). Many people don't or can't. Get someone with a real flair for language to edit the thing.
Aw, thanks!
I had the same thought ... "These will only be skimmed, so don't stress!" My friend is applying to a school in CA and only has to provide one, one-page personal statement. Sigh. Of course, that will probably be gone over with a fine-tooth comb.
Momto4girls, I hope you don't stress too much. You are a definite admit. You have a good head on your shoulders, great pedigree, write as well as the best writers on the doc forum. Your future program will be lucky to have you.
Wow, thank you! I hope you are right!
Choose a social problem in which you are vitally interested. Identify the factors that must be considered in order to develop a policy or program that addresses this problem. Discuss the social work practice issues inherent in your discussion.
Hello,
I could really use some help with understanding this personal statement essay prompt. The question reads:
I don't understand what this means by "social work practice issues"? Lets say I want to write about homelessness. What would be an example of a social work practice issue? My B.A. was not in social work so I'm a bit perplexed. Thanks in advance!
