请大家看看yale的这篇Personal Statement应该怎样写？

imlovingit

Personal Statement
Please develop a question/topic of your choice and answer it in essay form. Please state the question/topic at the beginning of your essay. To view sample questions/topics, click on "Begin Editing". (500 words maximum.)

Some example questions/topics include:

• What personal achievement are you most proud of and why?
• What activities/interests do you enjoy outside the office and/or classroom and how would you integrate these activities/interests into the Yale SOM community?
• What is the most difficult feedback that you have received and how did you address it?
• Where is the most exciting place you have ever been and what did you learn from being there?
• Describe a situation where you questioned your values and/or beliefs.
• What does leadership mean to you?
• If you are reapplying: How has your candidacy changed since your last application?

请问应该根据什么来选择应该写哪一个topic呢？相对于其他essays, B-school主要要从PS中看applicants的什么方面呢？谢谢!

貌似就是自己选个题目写咯

Just show another side about yourself, which was not disclosed in the other two essays.

Find the fit between you and SOM could be a good topic.

Thanks Loafer,  can i talk about my hobbies as a casual topic?

From the adcom:

"essay 3 is a chance for you to tell us about yourself. We are interested to see not only what you write but also what you choose to write about. The main piece of advice I would give is that you should write about what is important to you rather than trying to guess what we are looking for. I would also suggest trying to focus on some aspect of yourself that is not readily apparent from other aspects of your application."

Thanks, iammad, appreciate your help

是不是只能从SAMPLE QUESTIONS里面选啊，还是真的自己可以DEVELOP一个题目啊。

You can come up with your own topic.

那自己DEVELOP题目是不是比在SAMPLE里面取一个写有点disadvantage?

No. Choose whatever suits your need and speaks for your strength or unique personality.
