What are the most important features of a personal statement?

Personal statement is all about being precise about why you opt for the particular degree choice. After outlining the reasons, you should clearly identify how your overall academic experience together with other interests and hobbies would contribute to the study process of the selected programme. Thus, the two most crucial aspects of a good personal statement include precision of the listed arguments and clear connection between them and your school and extracurricular experience.
