Personal Statements: Best Foot Forward
“Videos on! It’s easiest to learn from each other when we see each other.” —Leslie

Consider what you’re including in your application from a PR perspective. For example, if you’re making a career change, don’t speak negatively about your past career. Own your experience and put your best foot forward. Use “I sentences.” We look at an example essay.

Leslie is a great teacher and precise reader that always helps encourages ideas for our PS and maximizing our odds for admissions. Best way to start our Tuesdays!Amanda R.
Leslie’s approachable style makes even something as sensitive as our personal statements feel manageable. I only joined for 30 minutes but loved it—and can’t wait to take the full class next time!Ty H.
Leslie was awesome. She respected the time we had together and makes the most of it. She is not only incredibly detailed, but makes the session a lot of fun. If you are on the fence, I can't recommend working with Leslie enough.Anonymous
