I want to major in communications with a minor in public relations or business. I want to also include the hardships I have endured which caused my gpa to drop junior year such as depression and being homeless. You can see from my first thread all of the troubles I have been through. I have always had a passion for reading, writing, and communicating with others since elementary school. But I’m having trouble with starting off and writing my personal statement pleas help! And also the universities I applied to asked me to write a personal statement explaining my low gpa.
@are you still struggling to write your personal statements? Which schools do you still need to send them to?
I need to send one to University of Illinois and Depaul.
And is communications a bad major?
No, that’s not a bad major.
@ChantaeG When are the personal statements due at University of Illinois and DePaul? How long do they have to be?
Both of them on December 15th.
Have you started them now? Are you having trouble with your opening statement?
I’ve started I think they are turning out okay.
I need your email if it’s OK, something bad happened and I need some personal advice.
