What are summer research programs looking for in a personal statement? How do you strategize what to say? What makes a compelling argument? By thinking of ones story and organizing the structure from the paragraphs down to the sentences writing a compelling personal statement becomes less daunting. This introduction to writing strategies and approaches will help students prepare to write and submit a flurry of summer program applications this winter.
