PersonaPick helped me re-position my essay to be very specific and unique to me and my goals and desires. I changed 'I want to attend X because of its strong biology program...' to 'As someone who thrives in collaborative learning environments, I was drawn to X's team-based lab structure and peer-teaching philosophy, which align perfectly with how I learn best...' Thank you so much for helping me get in!
