Mastering the Personal Statement approaches the application process from the perspective of "personal marketing". Many applicants are qualified to enter the program of their choice. Yet some fail to gain admission and some succeed. In many cases, rejection letters are not based on the quality of the applicant. Rather they are based on the quality of the application file. Mastering the Personal Statement will improve your "personal marketing" by enhancing every component of your application file. Mastering the Personal Statement includes the "Personal Statement Workbook" to help applicant systematically develop the personal statement, autobiographical sketch and other components of their application file. Also included are examples of real successful personal statements, examples of effective letters of reference and a guide for potential referees who have been asked to write letters of reference.

Great Resource for Writing Grad School Essays,
This review is from: Mastering the Personal Statement (Paperback)
This excellent resource provided solid, insightful information on what to include in a grad school statement and how to answer other grad school questions. The explanations of what works and why were very understandable and useful. The examples clearly demonstrated how effective a good statement can be when written well. With this resource you will lean how to cut through the fluff and focus on what the points you need to make. This resource would be of use by anyone applying for graduate and professional school programs and I highly recommend it.
