Starting in the Middle #PersonalStatementProTip
Brainstorming your personal statement for your college application can be a challenge - check out our #protip.
Identify an exciting story or moment, and begin telling the story using the present tense in the middle of the action. This brings the reader into your story as if they are there with you in this scene. Try beginning your personal statement this way!
"College MatchPoint helps steer and advise you from beginning to end of the college search and application process. They take what can be a very stressful time and break it down into smaller, manageable pieces. Bob, Lisa and their staff support their student clients, enabling them to find the best fit. You can trust that the process will work; it did for all 3 of my very different kids."
