Developing Strong Personal Statements

Wednesday, July 15, 2026 3 p.m. to 4:30 p.m.

Join us for the Statement of Purpose Workshop, a collaboration between UCF Graduate and Professional School Prep (GPS Prep) and the UCF Writing Center.  

This 90‑minute interactive workshop is designed for students preparing personal statements for graduate and professional school applications. Participants will gain a clear understanding of how admissions committees use personal statements, what distinguishes statements, and common pitfalls that weaken applications. Attendees will practice strategies for shaping their experiences, values, and goals into a focused, persuasive statement aligned with their target programs and effective ways to incorporate AI tools into the brainstorming, drafting, and revision process while maintaining originality and voice.
