(Altadena, CA, 11/12/11) - Admission essays are used to evaluate applicants for admission to college, law school, medical school, graduate school, MBA programs and other institutions of higher learning. In addition to a great grade point average and test scores, personal statement essays help admission committees get a full picture of the applicant. Unlike grades and aptitude test scores, a personal mission statement summarizes not just the person's past accomplishments but also gives a glimpse of the applicant as a person--a person who has aspirations, dreams, potentials and intrinsic value.
Personal mission statement dimension
This dimension of the personal mission statement essay is often lost to many applicants. They often view the competition for school admission as primarily revolving around GPA and aptitude test scores. They cannot be more wrong. Admission committees are looking for real people, they are not looking for numbers.
Catching admission committee's attention
Truth be told, if all competitive schools were just looking for students with very strong grades and aptitude test scores, they would all be competing over a very small pool of people, they would not be able to fill all their admission slots because the top applicants are locked into a wide variety of schools. There is not enough of those people to fill all the admission spots at mid-tier to top-tier schools and that is the reality lost to the majority of applicants. However, to unlock the power of the personal mission statement, an applicant has to write it a certain way. Again this is a body of knowledge that is lost on a large portion of academic applicants.
How do you catch the admission committee's attention? Think of your essay as a way to quickly "sell yourself" to the admission committee members. How do you pitch your personal potential? "You have to think out of the box. You have to really get yourself in a mind frame of thinking that this is your one shot of personally communicating with the admission committee members outside of your grades and your test scores. This is your last shot to grab them by the eyeballs," said Ossa Jefferson, media relations officer for essaysadmission.com, the internet's leading free source of personal mission statement examples, writing guides and writing tips. Catching the admission committee's attention is quite easy if you give yourself the time and space to acquire the skills needed to write compelling personal mission statement essays. Jefferson is quoted as saying that their guide steps you to the process of using the right tone, which leads you to the right titles to successfully write attention-grabbing essays.

According to Jefferson, "Think of yourself as appealing to news editors. Your article must jump out from the page or else it would not be read. One key trick is to come up with compelling titles and think of headline-grabbing keywords like Taliban, Google or other concepts that are hot and organize your essay around the compelling title."
