Personal statement help Please

Hey guys, as you probably all know , early decision is about 2 months away. (Panic!!:eek:)
So right now my dream school is the school of architecture at Cornell and I already wrote my personal interview and the common app supplement. However.... the personal statement remains...well bad.
I was thinking about writing about overcoming racist people (well more subtle then this haha) and I have a quick, less then 500 words draft.

If anyone is willing to read it, then I will email it too you or skype it :D. But if you do not want to give out emails to a desperate girl, then could you just give me advice about personal statements in general?

Thanks,
heythere

p.s. is it bad I don't want to write about architecture for the third time ???

Hello,
I would love to read your paper. I would suggest NOT writing about architecture for a third time. I am currently in college and know that admissions get bored reading them so pick something interesting and something that you know a lot about. If you would like to email me about your personal statement feel free. My email is [email protected]" class="bb-email">[email protected]
