Personal statements

We ask that you include both a personal statement and a supplemental essay in English as part of your application.

The 650 word personal statement prompts listed below match the Common Application, If you are completing the Common Application, you will complete the personal statement, as a part of the main application, and the supplemental essay (in the additional questions section of the Common Application specific to AUP).

If you are using the AUP Application Portal, you can upload both the personal statement and the supplemental essay as one document to your online application.

The personal statement prompts this year are listed as follows:

• Some students have a background, identity, interest, or talent that is so meaningful they believe their application would be incomplete without it. If this sounds like you, then please share your story.
• The lessons we take from obstacles we encounter听can be fundamental to later success. Recount a听time when you faced a challenge, setback, or failure. How did it affect you, and what did you learn from the experience?
• Reflect on a time when you questioned or challenged a belief or idea. What prompted your thinking? What was the outcome?
• Describe a topic, idea, or concept you find so engaging that it makes you lose all track of time. Why does it captivate you? What or who do you turn to when you want to learn more?
• Discuss an accomplishment,听event, or realization that sparked a period of personal growth and a new understanding of yourself or others.

The AUP supplementary essay enables us to get an insight into your motivations to come and study in a uniquely international setting, surrounded by a community of students interested in the world around them.听 This is a shorter essay to highlight your own academic, career and personal goals. The 300-word supplemental essay prompt is: 鈥淲hat is it about The American University of Paris that has led you to apply here and how will studying here fit with your educational and personal goals? (300 Words)鈥�
