Personal statement ??

What is the difference between a personal statement and a college essay?

I know this if off-topic but I really don't know anywhere else to ask these kind of question. I would really appreciate it if someone can answer the question and tell me where else I could ask these kinds of questions.

A college essay is an assignment to write a piece on a certain topic, with a particular range of number of words. Essays can argue for or against a statement, provide information on some topic, describe an experience, etc. The topics vary widely.
