At what point are you finished with your Personal Statement?


Recommended Posts

I've had my personal statement reviewed a couple times and have gotten most of the obvious "main idea" problems fixed. I can certainly do more but at what point do you say "I'm done"? Everyone has different opinions on what details I should elaborate on/ get rid off and I feel like if I were to take everyone's advice than I would be changing too much of my PS. 

 

I'm sure there will always be something that someone can critique about my PS and I'm wondering at what point do you stop asking for feedback and just submit it?

 

Thank you all

You will always find something you want to change. Everyone will have a different opinion on when they feel "done." I think the more you revise it, though, the better off it generally is. Don't just stop with having good content. Make sure it flows well, there are no grammatical mistakes, and things are properly structured. Sometimes that little stuff can take 4-5 more revisions. 

 

Personally, I will always find something to critique. I know I am about done when it gets down to the nitpick stage.

I totally agree with @pastudentw.  If you are asking this question, I think you might be done!  If someone else sent you the personal statement you have written, what would you tell them?

I probably read mine at least once every night for about 2 months before I submitted it. It really helped to view it from different perspective, depending on my mood that day and whether I've had a few beers or not. I just kept going until the rest of my application was ready to be submitted.

Well, it was not that easy for me to reach the point "I'm done". That was the main reason why I went for the help not to the forum but to the professional online writing service. I think that you would need to do the same since you worry about the grammar and other minor mistakes. Yo may check how well the writers from Marvelous essay service can edit your work.
