Personal Statment Title Forum

[onthecusp]

Just a quick question. When submitting your PS for applications, at the top of the word document, do you simply write the title at the top? Do you label it personal statement?

For example, should it look like this

TITLE

asd;lfkjasdfkl;jsadf
asd;klfjsdafl;kjsadfkl;
asd;flkjasdf;lksdajfsdjkl

Like This....

PERSONAL STATEMENT - TITLE

ASD;FLKJASDF;LSDJAFSDKL;AJF
ASD;FLKJASDF;LJASDF;LKJASDF
FL;ASKDJF;SLAFJKSDAL;KFJJASDF

or like this....

PERSONAL STATEMENT
TITLE

asdfl;kasjdf;laksjdf
as;dflkjasflkwejqpoi
asdf;ljkasdfl;jasd;flk

Everything I have read, and the few adcoms I have talked to, say not to give it a title for any reason. In the header, write the words "Personal Statement" and put your name and LSAC number. No title.

Thank You. Anyone know how to keep the header on only the first page?

TITCR...your header should be like this:

Personal Statement
John Livshitz (LSAC #666666666)


(Insert Statement here)

I actually put the header to the right of the page...I don't know if anyone else did that, but I did.

I put it on every page -- it's easier, with MS Word being such a pain. It doesn't take up any typing space (if you use a true header), so that wasn't an issue.
