- English/American universities look for different attributes in students from Chinese universities.
- There is very little training or guidance available for Chinese applicants.

You will be asked to complete a questionnaire asking you about all the things that we need to include in the statement. Write about your life experience, your educational experience, you work experience, your goals and desires, how you think you would be an asset to the insitution and so on. So, everything that we would need to write your personal statement for you.

After you have accepted the offer, we will write your personal statement. We take your chosen discipline into account, and we work with you to ensure that you say exactly what you want to say, but in a way that is appropriate to the instution you are applying to.
Once we have finished the draft of your personal statement, we will send it back to you for your agreement. Then, if you are not happy, or need revisions done, we will do them. When you are satisfied, we will deliver the completed document to you in the format you prefer.
