What are the most important things to include in my personal statement for University?

It is first important to know that the personal statement will be important in the process of your application as, through it, the reader should get an idea of what kind of person you are to see if you have the profile for the degree you are applying for. The most important thing is to let the reader know what type of person you are, what are your interests, why you are applying to this degree and also what experience you have which is related to the degree.
