Have you contacted the career center(s)? They have programs for grad school admissions, but I don't know if they already happened or are coming up. I'd give them a call and ask if there's someone who specializes in this for your graduate program, either in their office or on campus. Here's their contact stuff:

157 Karl Umrath Hall
204 Lopata Hall

Some good advice I received was to open with an anecdote of some kind that illustrates an ability of yours or the point you decided to pursue psych. Nothing, however, is going to alleviate the fact that PERSONAL STATEMENTS SUCK. Good luck.

Actually, there was an article on Student Life today about precisely that.

Ya, I saw that after I wrote my post. Unfortunately it wasn't quite the help I wanted, but it was still sorta useful. Thanks!
