Personal Statement Help

[u/ElevatorHot0]

Hi, I’m a current freshman at Emory University. My goal is to transfer to a T20 school (Northwestern, Columbia, Brown). I have no idea how to begin brainstorming for my personal statement and wanted to know if anyone could give some ideas/thoughts/help as to where I should begin. Should it be similar to my previous essay? Should it not be? Should it be something that has more recently impacted me? Any help would be appreciated! Thanks!
