Having worked in some capacity for nearly 25 years directly evaluating college personal statements, this I know to be true: too many kids hurl themselves into the pitfall of the 5 D's (writing about Death, Divorce, Drugs, Depression, Disease).
While these topics are often held close to the heart, they might not be the best fit when trying to make a good first impression with your prospective college.
In today's video, I highlight two personal statements written by the exact same student.
In Take #1 he writes about Disease.
In Take #2, he does not.
Who would you admit to your college if you only had two seats available?

Write it Ivy right!
