5 TIPS TO WRITE AN EFFECTIVE PERSONAL STATEMENT
Take time to plan and structure your ideas Before you start writing, reflect on what you want to convey and organize your thoughts. Draft a first version, then refine it. Your statement should flow naturally and present your arguments in a clear, logical way.
Make it personal and authentic Remember: it’s your story. Research 3iS beforehand—explore its identity, values, atmosphere, facilities, and your chosen program. Be genuine and highlight what sets you apart, such as your motivation, specific experiences, or extracurricular activities. These details will make your application stand out and strengthen your profile.
Be clear and concise Avoid long, overly complex sentences. While your personal statement should provide sufficient insight into who you are, keep it focused, direct, and engaging.
Pay attention to language and accuracy Proofread carefully. Proper spelling and grammar show that you are serious, professional, and truly invested in your application. Mistakes can obscure your message and weaken the overall impression.
Care for presentation and readability A well-presented personal statement reflects rigor and professionalism. Keep formatting clean and legible. Before submitting, ask someone you trust to review it—an external perspective is often invaluable.
