The personal statement should be under 500 words according to the PSU application directions. You should tell them something that they cannot get from your stats. Anything that gives detail about who you are is good. Otherwise, you can’t get all that detailed in 500 words - but it should be something they can’t already tell from your transcripts and test scores.
