There is some advice here. Get your teacher/tutor to check it for you, and ask on how to improve. Keep bugging them and asking, that's what they get paid for.

Talk about your interests in the course

Interests outside the course that link with the course

Don't lie

Don't go on and on..

Don't do repetitions

Don't copy someone elses statement lol

There's also a thread about it here, although they discuss a medical career in that one.

Lol, Funny as it is I'd discourage this, Universities base their interviews on what you have written and they have a tendency of grilling applicants considering they get a stupid amount of people who desire to apply every year.

Here are some samples of good personal statements: http://www.studential.com/personalst...ts/default.asp

May Allah make it easy upon you all.
