Personal Statements

List of tips:

1. Ways to demonstrate "passion":

   • Books you've read

   • Related hobbies

   • DIY projects (YouTube is a great resource)

   • Do your own experiments/investigations (Complete what you said there was additional scope for investigation/experimentation in your EE)

   • Internships

   • Regional/National/International competitions in science/debate

   • Summer camps at universities of choice

   • Open days for your university of choice

   • Start a YouTube channel

2. (if you have interviews) write the personal statement knowing that you will be interviewed about it

   • Make certain omissions so that you have things to talk about in your interview

   • Do not exaggerate / deviate from the truth as it could get you in trouble in the interview
