Adding a School Specific Section on Personal Statement

Gary NYC · October 2017

Hey Guys,

I was wondering what the consensus was on adding something specifically about the school you are applying to on the personal statement. Like throwing in a final paragraph saying something like... this school would be a great fit for me because it has xyz...... It's showing how I would fit in with the school. Whats the consensus on this?

If you're gonna do that then just do a Why X essay and keep your PS how it is

Howdy, Stranger!
