PrimeStatement – Make Your Application Stand Out

Do you want to get into the college or program of your dreams?

Well, of course you do. The real question is…

Are you good enough?

You are. Maybe you’re just not a good writer. Or maybe you’re saying:

Does my personal statement really. matter THAT MUCH?

How many times have we heard “good stories sell?” In this day and age of statistics and checkboxes, what is the only subjective source that isn’t bounded by the confines of an excel sheet? What is the only thing that’s going to tell the committee who you are?

But I don’t know HOW TO WRITE
a personal statement!

Well, that’s why you’re here, right? And it’s why we’re in business.

At PrimeStatement, we believe every journey deserves a proper story.

You might be saying, “I don’t have anything interesting or jaw-dropping to share.”

You are mistaken. Everyone has something to say.
It is our job to unearth it. BUT… if you still want to give it a shot on your own, at least let us help with our:

11 INFALLIBLE TIPS for how to write a personal statement:

TRANSPORT US to your world. Describe, describe, describe. Use IMAGERY. Demonstrate your expertise in this world. Observe to it, react to it.
Be passionate. Show emotion. Don’t tell us you’re passionate, SHOW US.
Reflect. Reflect on your past, reflect on your mistakes, reflect on your strength.
Demonstrate insight. Do you have a unique way of thinking? Let that come across.
Analyze. Show that you’re a critical thinker.
Motivate. Inspire. Doing so will demonstrate leadership, will demonstrate that you can make it to THE TOP.
Always start and end with a theme. What is it you’ve learned through all this? What have you realized?
Career plans/future impact in what?
For grad students/medical residents – BE SPECIFIC!
USE ANECDOTES. Actions speak louder than words, so we want to know
what you did in x, y, and z situations. We want to know what types of character attributes you bring to the table when ADVERSITY STRIKES!
Most importantly: BE INTERESTING!

“I can’t figure out what makes me unique.”

It’s the most common question that a college/grad school application indirectly asks. The entire application is built around what makes you different. Your stats, while may not be unique amongst the Stanford consideration pool (everyone has straight A’s, great test scores), they are the first…

The Ivy’s: “These acceptance rates are insane!”

Applying to an Ivy League school today is different than it was 50 years ago. The number of applicants (worldwide) has increased dramatically, and consequently, the competition is stiffer, as is what is expected of you. Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Dartmouth, Columbia, Cornell, Brown, and UPenn…

WHAT OUR CLIENTS ARE SAYING:

Alexis, San Diego State University, B.S.

I chose the Gold Admission Package and I not only got into my dream school but I got so much scholarship money, and a lot of scholarships are based around essays. When I thought I hit a home run with a draft, they’d bring me back to reality and say no, you’re not done yet. That’s what I like. They don’t toot your own horn until you deserve it. They do have services where you can have your essay written but I wanted to write my own. I plan on getting a degree in the sciences after college, so I'll be back for sure.

Elle, Michigan State University, B.S. Chemistry

As someone who's always been obsessed with educaiton, I’ve been using tutors since I was young. And as a chemistry major and someone who is pursuing teaching in the sciences, writing was never my strong suit. I went for the Platinum Package, and the process really taught me how to reflect on seemingly meaningless moments of my life and realize how they shaped me into the person I am today. For that, and for all the schools PrimeStatement helped me get in to, I am most grateful.

Ran, Michigan State University, B.S. MARINE BIOLOGY

Primestatement helped with one of my friend’s personal statements and it was amazing. After that so many kids at my school were coming to them and all the essays were different and great in their own right. They really let you find your voice, but they're also very strict. It seems like they're being way too detailed at first, but you understand why when they're done. I can honestly say I became a better writer working with them over 1 week than I did taking AP Literature for 5 months in high school.

Lance, UOFM, SUPPLY CHAIN Management,

This is the most sophisticated admissions writing service on the market. I did my research and was not impressed with some of the samples out there. They offer to write it for you, but I wanted to go through the critique service instead. They critiqued all my personal statements and supplement questions multiple times. I could tell they truly cared about my goals and my future. I am really interested in having them help me with my resume and cover letter when I get ready to apply for jobs.

Moe, MEDICAL RESIDENT AT SINAI IN BALTIMORE

The first service I tried for my residency was dlaeditors. They offer a money back guarantee if you don’t get matched, which is great. Unfortunately, I wasn’t matched. I knew it’d be harder since I was studying in the Caribbean. I tried residencypersonalstatements next and also did not match. I heard about this service and the difference in the statements was night and day. It made me think those other services use some kind of generic templates. I'll only go to one place from now on for stuff like this.

Patricia, Harvard University Law School

The personal statement is the make or break element of a law school application. I sought out a consultant to help me generate ideas. I spent a few thousand for great guidance, but not a head-turning personal statement. I found an ad for PrimeStatement on craigslist, and after speaking with the writer, I decided to give it a try. I went with the Gold Admissions Package because I didn't feel right having a statement written for me. With this package, they're like a personal coach, and they don't stop. It's crazy.

Cat, University of California L.A., B.S. in Physics,

This service helped me get accepted into many of the schools on my list. My original essay was okay but I was having trouble expressing what I wanted to say visually. The consulting style really struck a cord in me, and several drafts later I had something that got me into UCLA. I am proud of the work I did and I honestly love the writer I am now. I didn't really think I could enjoy writing so much but when you're doing it to reflect on your own life and your stories, it has a different ring to it and it becomes exciting!

Ravee, ORTHOPEDIC (ANKLE) FELLOW IN Michigan

As an aspiring orthopedic surgeon and knowing the type of competition I was up against, I didn’t want to take any chances with my personal statement. I was referred here hrough a colleague who used the service for both med and residency. It was one of the best decisions I’ve made. I was accepted to the fellowship I was aiming for, which set me up for the rest of my career. Most doctors aren't the best writers. I worked for 15 years to get to this position, and I wasn't going to take any chances.

Fatum, UOFM, ROSS SCHOOL OF BUSINESS

The word play is amazing. The ability to create flow with all the themes is out of this world. Most business essays I read, even in those books that are titled "The Best MBA Personal Statements Ever Written," were nothing compared to mine. I am a numbers girl, and I'm very good at what I do. But I can't write. I won't ever have to write for what I'm pursuing. At least not this type of writing. But I do have stories, a lot of them. PrimeStatement just helped me get them out of my head and onto the page in riveting fashion.

7 seconds...that's the average amount of time an employer takes to decide whether or not your resume will make it past the first cut. An interactive resume and a cover letter are both opportunities to tell an engaging story that will have HR managers intrigued about more than just your qualifications and accomplishments. With that said, designing a modern resume and writing a custom cover letter is an intimidating task that, without technical experience, can take weeks or even months of tinkering. In today's current job market, anyone without a clean, professional, and eye-catching resume and fluid cover letter is putting themselves at a serious disadvantage. Remember, it's not about whether you can do the job. It's about whether you are the absolute best person for this job.

Frequently Asked Questions

A 30 minute – 1 hour interview is required (phone/Skype/in person) in order to effectively capture your character and the visceral nature of your journey. If you are unavailable through any of these means, you may opt to fill out an emailed questionnaire. Please note that many of these questions are highly personal and mandate a certain level of openness and vulnerability so that we can find out how you think, feel and work–very quickly.

Our coaching services are our main focus at PrimeStatement. If you want to write your own personal statement and supplements, and you're looking to be coached through the process, determine how much work you'll need. If you're at the beginning stage, and you're not a very strong writer, we recommend our Gold or Platinum package. For those who need less iterations, and don't have many supplements, please find details of what's entailed under the Bronze and Silver packages.

After the interview, it takes 7-10 days to send you a final copy of your personal statement. If we are creating or elaborating on the base structure of your essay through our coaching service, we will send you an outline within 3-5 days. Each critique thereafter takes 1-2 days.

In the week+ we take to write your essay, we often run through several drafts. It is extremely rare for a client to be upset with their statement. However, in the case that this happens, we do offer one revision based on your comments, free of charge.

All our personal statements, whether we help you with them or draft them on your behalf, are 100% customized and tailored to that particular applicant. We guarantee that no one in the entire applicant pool will have an essay even remotely similar to yours.

At PrimeStatement, we guarantee 100% confidentiality to all our customers. Any personal information you submit to us will never be disclosed to any third party without your permission (our selected reviewers have all given their consent). Please see our Terms and Conditions for more information.
