<p>I have written my essay about 80%, and some people told me the essay has to be specific to one story.
For my essay, it's about my cultural diversity and how I changed throughout my immigrant life.</p>
<p>My essay is not very specific to one case. Is this ok thing to do?</p>
<p>help? XD</p>
<p>Because there are too many applicants, the admission office is not going to look through their essays or written statements. What matters is your GPA and SAT score. </p>
<p>I think you are good. As far as I remember, PSU asks you to share a personal statement explaining something that would show your ability to be successful in a college environment. Explaining your experience iversity would accomplish that I think. I don’t think it has to be one story.
That being said, unless you are borderline or applying for the honors college, they very likely won’t read it. </p>
<p>Here’s my gpa and such.
W GPA: 3.8
