Developing Personal Statements

Useful Links:
The Writing Center at Goucher College
Tutors at the Writing Center are helpful in all aspects of the personal statement writing process:  talking with you as you brainstorm ideas, helping you to organize your thoughts, sharing ideas on revisions, and providing feedback on proofreading and grammar.  Working with Writing Center tutors as well as the CDO staff will help you to prepare a stronger personal statement.  For tutors' schedules, follow the link above.
