<p>Hey there everybody, </p>
<p>I’m just polishing up my personal statements, and I have a few concerns about them. </p>
<p>As I brainstormed extracurriculars I could write my statements about, the main thing that I could think of was my leadership experience. I am extensively involved with the student government on my campus. I have many roles, and it takes up most of my time. Therefore, it is my main extracurricular, besides a mundane after school job (not really p.s. material). </p>
<p>As a result, I chose to write both my statements about different facets of my leadership experience. The first one focuses on my major (history) and how being active on campus committees impacts school policy (bigger picture). The second prompt mainly deals with my personal growth as a leader, and cites specific examples of events I planned and how I grew and so on and so forth. (Thinking of also adding in something about me being a leader at work to mix it up a bit)</p>
<p>I see a distinction between the two; however, I worry that this will leave them thinking “Did she do anything besides leadership?” I guess what I’m trying to ask is, is it so bad to have two personal statements on pretty much the same topic? </p>
<p>I appreciate this last minute feedback :)</p>
