Ugh ugh ugh. I remember applications. I had no idea what I was getting into when I decided to go to grad school. The thing I remember hearing about personal statements is to make them personal, but not cheesy or weird. There is a "magical balance" between saying something to make you stand out and saying something that makes you be weeded out for being weird or not having good boundaries. I wish there was a good way to know where that line is. Do you have a trusted faculty advisor or someone who can read it for you and offer feedback?
