		<description><![CDATA[I often get questions from students and parents who wonder why a strong personal statement is so important. After all, their students have good grades in solid courses (that is, academic core courses such as math, science, English, foreign language, social studies).

Students question if they&#8217;ve taken the &#8220;right&#8221; courses, if all AP or IB classes are enough to get them admitted.
