How to write a personal statement graduate school admission committees can be excited about

In an increasingly competitive graduate school admissions environment, applicants need as much help as they can to qualify for the small amount of available spots at the most competitive and prestigious graduate programs in the United States.

Hollister, CO (prHWY.com) August 29, 2011 - (Hollister, CA, 08/27/11) Every year, thousands of applicants apply to an increasingly small amount of admission slots at the top graduate programs in the United States. As more and more public university systems experience budgetary pressures, many of these are feeling pressured to cut back on graduate departments and this has impacted the amount of openings for graduate school students. Also more people are applying to graduate programs as way of weathering the recession because federal student loan regulations allow for students to defer paying back college student loans if they go to graduate school. Many students who are faced with the reduced prospects of finding employment after college in this tough economy opt to go to graduate school after college. This pushes back their college loan pay back period, but it also increases competition for graduate school slots.

Writing a winning personal statement

In a bid to help graduate school applicants get a competitive edge in the often brutal dog-eat-dog world of graduate school admissions, graduateadmissionessay.com, the internet's leading provider of personal statement, graduate school resources and graduate school essay writing tips, has released a personal statement writing guide. This guide helps applicants produce personal statement graduate school admissions committees can get excited about.

Paul Dreyluss, admissions consultant at graduateadmissionessay.com is quoted as saying that motivations matter a lot. According to Dreyluss, "Make sure that your motivations shine through in your essay. Our guide steps you through some things to think about to make your intentions more transparent. When it comes to the admissions process, committees look beyond the numbers." Indeed when it comes to admission decisions, many applicants tend to fall within the same general bell curve of grades, extracurricular activities, college performance and aptitude scores. The big difference is in terms of personal makeup.

Dreyluss is quoted as saying that when it comes to highlighting an applicant's personal make up, the essay, hands down, is their secret weapon.
