求教PS应该是经历为主轴还是回答问题为主轴?

我小白 自己以我的大学大事件为刚要，每段穿插着我的变化和对专业的理解，我觉得这样挺符合个人陈述的立意的，也有挺多例子是这样写的。。
但是我看也有不少教程是建议直接回答大学给出的问题，一段一个回答。。
求问那种行文更加适合?

我感觉这种东西不该是有个定式，怎样好怎样不好，你说的两种写法都有可能写出好的PS，看个人选择吧。我觉得PS本身就是很个性化的东西。
当然我也是2020 fall，难以保证本人观点的准确性。

Cite from Purdue University's writing lab:
The personal statement, your opportunity to sell yourself in the application process, generally falls into one of two categories:

1. The general, comprehensive personal statement:

This allows you maximum freedom in terms of what you write and is the type of statement often prepared for standard medical or law school application forms.

2. The response to very specific questions:

Often, business and graduate school applications ask specific questions, and your statement should respond specifically to the question being asked. Some business school applications favor multiple essays, typically asking for responses to three or more questions.

求加米。

同20fall，我申请的学校里很少有直接问问题的，所以是楼主的第一种思路。如果学校在官网明确问了问题，可以在现在结构的基础上稍作修改吧，毕竟内容都有了。
