Directions: Double click in the Exam Number field above, replace #### with your exam number,
close the header, and save the document, naming it with your exam number and the initials PS for
Personal Statement (i.e.: “5213 PS.doc”). Then delete these directions and draft your 500 word
statement (single spaced is better for printing purposes, but we’re not fascists about it). When you
are done, attach the Personal Statement to an email, and send it to the address set forth in the To:
line above (personal (dot) statement@bc.edu). Place your exam number followed by the initials PS
(i.e., 5213 PS) in the email’s subject line.
(And just to make sure that no one goes overboard, please insert your Personal Statement’s word
count in the line provided above. It shouldn’t exceed 510 words.)
