How do you write about your achievements?

It's extremely important for your personal statement to be unique to you. It's also important that your statement isn't just a list of your achievements without relating it to how it would help you in your further studies. A quick guide to follow would be: Achievement What you learnt from it/ what it says about you (reflection)Relate it to your chosen degree Next achievement I would say that 3/4 achievements are a good amount to showcase your talents, without listing and taking up too much of your word count.
