Hi, I need help with proofreading my admission Essay plz

For a Master program at a school located in France. Any advice is welcome too. I tend to repeast myself a lot whenever I write - anything. I did read the essay several times though, I hope it's good enough and I didn't make too many gramatical errors lol.
The essay is supposed to be 1000 words max, and I already went over by about 30 (I'm shocked myself) so I'll have to take out some.

The way I presented it here is just to help me organize the essay but I won't include the italics in the final doc

Here's how they want it organized.

"The personal statement is meant to be a space where you can express yourself and tell us whatever you think we need to know about you. For example: you may present yourself, tell us what reasons make you apply for the programme of your choice. You may also want to tell how and why the (school) programmes will assist you in achieving the goals you have set for yourself. It would also be useful for us to know how you would contribute to campus life at (School). Please be specific and limit your response to no more than 1,000 words"

Thanks in advance!
