Personal application papers are very important. Academic and extracurricular activities are vapid facts and can only be identified by a student is to meet the basic needs of the University. The application is full of personality, and can help the college admissions committee to know what the students are. You are a rich sense of humor, a mathematical genius, or a love thinking, fanciful imagination writing players, through personal application in this important non academic reference index to express. A personalized application paper can impress the reader's heart, a lack of passion of the paper is just the opposite.
This article will focus on how to write a personal application papers, not only good for the application of the standard, but also give some examples. How to write a good personal application papers, we first listen to the experts, that is, the judges of the universities are how to say.
Muth Parke, director of international student enrollment at University of Virginia
"The majority of students feel that a personal application should be written as an epic film, to outline all the high tide of life, and most of them are in the tragic. The problem with this idea is to use a mere 500 words to outline your life like a long shot to make a movie. Our admissions officials can only see a few vague on the distant horizon, very small shadow, too far away, can not see clearly.
I always tell students that writing a college application is not a film but a film. I read a personal application for the time spent probably as long as a Nike company.

I (as an admissions officer) can not hear, see, touch, taste and even smell the world you represent, not the whole world, but a small corner of the world. Let (in the paper) express a higher meaning. As the poet said:

C.Merrill Martha, vice president of the office of the Connecticut College of admission and scholarship
"Tell me a good story. Don't simply claim that you are a man of love. Tell me why you're a man like this. Be sincere. Don't guess what I want to hear, try to impress me. You just tell me what's most important to you."
Allen Seth, Nell Green, vice president of the Institute for admission and scholarship
In write (or begin typing on a keyboard) before can be used to tell the story to your idea will give family or friends (or hearing your teacher for help), to see how they react.

Personal application is not to write an epic, but to let people from one side to understand you is what kind of person, your thinking, you represent the group. The judges of the Admissions Committee know you are still waiting to be improved, otherwise you will not apply to the University.
Maloof Eric, director of the office of international student admission, three one, Texas
"If a student can give positive answers to the following two questions, then she / he will write a successful personal application.
"Is the subject of the application very important to me, I am the only one who can write this article?""

Write this article coincided with August, American university preparatory school days, occasionally, through to an article in the Stanford University Newspaper, apply for the 2012 freshmen in the individual's first words. I read a bit, that education and entertainment are very strong, showing the new sense of humor and strong personality, no wonder these people can be successfully admitted to Stanford University.
