Chloe C and Felida have given you the best advice. When i applied for Uni i did exactly what they suggested. The problem is that sometimes you cannot be completely objective about what you have written so talk to your course tutor. If you have a good relationship then they should be able to help. Also try your student counsellor, they are not just there to give you psychotherapy but have a lot of resources at their disposal. If neither of these two can help find someone you respect but is not a close friend or family member, that way you will get an objective point of view. Good luck.

1)first of all it should be one side of A4 and no longer than one page.
2) write what course you have chosen, why you chose the course you are applying for, what is it that appeals to you about it and what you hope to gain from it in the end (paragraph 1)
3) what career you're hoping to go into afterwards (this is the very last paragraph)
4) the skills and knowledge that you possess that will be of use on your course; i.e. what you are good at and what you know about the subject (paragraph 2)
5) hobbies/interests that are relevant to the degree you are doing (paragraph 4)
6) elaborate on what you have been doing on your current course. whether that'll be a-levels, avce or an access course. what essays have you been writing? what practical work have you done? did you film a documentry for example (paragraph 3)
7) don't waffle! keep it simple but straight to the point. always highlight the positive points and refrain from writing what your bad ones are
8) remember that with a personal statement, like a covering letter that goes with a CV when applying for jobs, you want to stress your best qualities
9) if you have a previous conviction for some offence that took place say, 3 years ago, you may have to bring it up sadly. but at least you are being honest, rather than having something to hide.
it shouldn't really affect whether or not you get into the university/universities that you have applied for.
Hope this helps as this is what i am going on!

I think you need to think about:
Why you want to study drama - what excites you about it?
What are your strengths in this area - what makes YOU a good drama student out of all the other applicants?
What do you want to achieve through your studies?
The personal statement is about selling yourself, but if you just make stuff up that you think they want to hear, they'll spot it a mile off. Think about these questions, and write something that really is personal to you.

first of all,say to them that drama is part of your life,because you are artistic and you need an outlet to express your feelings,but drama is the best way to do that because you have a background in literature analysis,you spend a lot on theatre and movies, and you would like to undertake a psychological study on human character before you settle down and do your PhD in dramatic studies.Your PR skills is good,and you are not prejudiced or stereotyping,you're emotional but have no history of insanity or nervous breakdown.You have the calibre of Julia Roberts/Angelina Jolie/any oscar-winning actor.

it also depends on whether you want to do a practical course or a theory based one. make sure you make it clear in your writing why you have chosen that particular approach to drama, and what you hope to gain from the course. be passionate! good luck!
