5 TIPS TO WRITE MY PERSONAL STATEMENT

Take the time to think about and structure what you want to say before you start writing your statement. Write a first draft and then hone your text. It should flow well and your arguments should be clearly structured.
Remember it’s a personal statement. Find out about 3iS beforehand, go to an Open Day, read up on the school’s identity, its atmosphere, its facilities, and also learn about the program you want to apply to. Be authentic. Highlight what makes you different from other candidates (your enthusiasm, extracurricular activities, etc.). All of these aspects make your application more personalized, boosting your chances of standing out and giving you a major advantage among applicants.
Be concise. Although your personal statement mustn’t be too short (we need more to go on than just a couple of paragraphs), make it to the point and avoid sentences that are too long.
Proofread. Proper spelling is a sign that you take yourself seriously and are invested in the outcome. A personal statement with spelling mistakes will not reflect well on your application.
Presentation matters! Make sure your personal statement is clean and legible. Before you send off your application, it’s a good idea to have someone you know read it over—an external viewpoint is always helpful.

5 TIPS FOR A SUCCESSFUL PORTFOLIO

Showcase your artistic identity. Your portfolio should bear the stamp of your personality and highlight what makes you you. Let your identity shine through your application.
Explain your artwork. Alongside each piece of work, put a little text that describes your approach, the techniques you used and your artistic intention.
Showcase various artistic expressions. Feel free to add other formats such as videos, photos, sound recordings, etc.
Remember, less is more. We want to see quality, not quantity. Select your most significant artistic projects, and the ones that are most relevant to the program you’re applying for. Then organize your portfolio so it shows how you’ve developed artistically.
Presentation matters! Your portfolio is a reflection of the quality of your work and of your artistic potential. It’s an indication of how seriously you take yourself and your application—so make sure it shows the best of you.
