Obviously a University needs a personal statement that describes the applicant- what on earth is the point of misrepresenting yourself and ending up in a course or Uni you don't suit? Also- most Unis will check your stements for similarity to anything available on the web- if thety find it they will want to know why and you will need a good reason or they will simply conclude you cannot think for yourself or lack confidence in independent writing... neither of these send a message that will do you any good.
Be personal, be unique and be truthful!
