    The commonest mistakes that applicants make in their Personal Statements is being ambiguous or boastful, focusing on achievements without any personal reflection, adding generic information, using age-old tropes, or making them into an autobiography. It is therefore important to ensure that your personal statement is specific, authentic, and connects your experiences to your motivation for choosing the program.
