A personal statement is an integral part of any university

application. Some programs have strict word limits in place, while

others do not have any word limits. Here is an example of a 600-

word limit personal statement that was admitted to top programs

in the US and Canada.

600 Word Personal Statement Example


“We wish you had a son who would care for you in your old age.” I

was eight years old when I heard my grandparents utter these

words to my parents. I was too young to grasp the enormity of

those words and their implications for me, the eldest of three

sisters. However, I was soon introduced to the harsh reality of

being a girl in Saudi Arabia. My extended family hounded my

parents with advice on how to raise their daughters, insisting that

we were a financial burden that could only be relieved when we

were married off. My worth was outlined to me in a few simple

commands. Be quiet, be subservient and be submissive. However,

this did not curb my thirst for knowledge and empowerment. I

wanted to prove that I mattered as a girl, daughter, and human

being!

During college, I found my purpose. There was a bake sale at my

college, and I was assigned to set up a stall selling flavored betel

leaves. Despite being an indigenous product, it did not fit the

https://brightlinkprep.com/600-word-personal-statement-sample/ 3/10
1/7/23, 9:04 PM 600 Word Personal Statement Sample | BrightLink Prep

gender stereotype for women. This problem motivated me to

devise and execute a marketing campaign for our stall. Our

phenomenal success decided my fate. The sheer pride and delight I

felt that day became a beacon of hope for the otherwise

unremarkable future I had envisioned.

I gained a full scholarship to study business at King Saud

University, a renowned institute I otherwise could not have

afforded. This scholarship was a blessing for me, and it made me

realize that despite being a girl, who had several restrictions put

on her, success could be for my taking. My degree helped me

evolve and surface as a confident individual and enabled me to

establish myself as an emerging professional. Staying true to my

goals, I got on the dean’s list, stood first in my entire batch, and

achieved a gold medal, along with an Honors: Magna Cum Laude.

Despite many academic achievements, my learning was not

restricted to the confines of my classroom. I volunteered at several

events to explore and understand my passion for business. My

escapades highlighted my path for me. Even after graduating, I

have interned with several organizations to gain hands-on

learning experiences, such as Nestle, Coca-Cola, and Barclays

Bank. In parallel, I also performed Teaching Assistant duties at

college.

My resolve is to do marketing work that will enhance people’s

lives by stressing the positive picture of the state and nurturing

https://brightlinkprep.com/600-word-personal-statement-sample/ 4/10
1/7/23, 9:04 PM 600 Word Personal Statement Sample | BrightLink Prep

this disposition to benefit the nation. I have pursued this goal

throughout my academic career and worked hard to refine my

research, communication, and marketing skills. After completing

my undergraduate research, I wrote a paper based on my business

research project. I presented it at the Singapore Biz-Strategy

Conference and published it in the GSTF Journal on Business

Review (GBR).

The program I have opted for is ideal for the skills and training I

wish to obtain. The MS Communications program will help me

refine my analytical abilities. This specialized degree will augment

my communication and marketing skills and prove instrumental

in acquiring innovative strategies employed in the developed

world. This degree is a vital prospect through which I can enhance

my career and impact the marketing communications niche in my

home country. My experience and skills demonstrate my desire to

realize my goals. Through graduate education, I will be better

equipped to continue my pursuit of breaking down gender

stereotypes in the marketing industry, in which males have

predominated.
