[quote=Anonymous]My kids both drafted their personal statements over the summer but continued to do significant work on them through early fall. My dd completely scrapped her original personal statement and never used any of that draft material again (which was fine because she had also been drafting supplements). My ds wrote a very long original draft that was kind of all over the place - he ended zeroing in on one part of it, then used the leftover material in supps. It worked out really well. My advice is never throw away anything you write for college admissions - save it in a doc that you go to for supp ideas. I am glad they were writing and revising in the fall - they had both matured a lot, were taking new interesting classes, and just overall had a better idea of how they wanted to present themselves to colleges.[/quote]
