a fresh perspective
Admissions committees consider themselves visionaries -- the problem with a lot of personal statements is students write as if the end goal is admission to the university. It is human nature to want to be first in the know of what's next so enlighten them... admission to the university of your dreams isn't an ambition but a choice, a privilege bestowed upon the university by you.
The secret to this process is realizing your intellectual gifts, accomplishments and pragmatic approach are athletic -- showcase your abilities, field your offers and exercise discretion.
How is this done? Entrepreneurship, innovation, definitive goals, applicability; how will you branch off from the known to create something new?
In your personal statements there will be no pandering, no admiration of professors, no praise of storied institutions. Your personal statement is now your mission statement: a cold, investigative report of how the future will unfold.
I am here to collaborate. I worked as the top editor at an admissions consulting company in southern California for three years, helping students get accepted to the ivies, Northwestern, Stanford, University of Chicago, all the UC's and other top schools. I consider my writing/editing skills in this context as philanthropic and venture capital adjacent: a silent partnership, a pact, an enclave of prowess for the betterment of society.
