Personal/Goal Statement

I am planning to apply for MS/PHD program in Clinical psychology and for that I need to submit a personal statement with my application. I have a BS in psychology from the same institution which I will be applying to. Please note that the paper needs to be strong enough because my undergraduate GPA is lower than 3.0 (2.8 out of 4) due to circumstances encountered during my undergraduate journey. So, the paper should convince them about my abilities. The deadline for applications is December 1, 2020.
