How Do You Write A Personal Statement For Medical School?
• Find out the limitations on length of your personal statement. Primary application personal statements were limited to 4500 characters, including spaces and punctuation, when I wrote my primary personal statement. There is very little guidance on the topic of your primary personal statement. • Find the questions for the secondary or school specific personal statement and also the space limitations. This personal statement is required by your chosen school to see whether they are interested in interviewing you. These questions can range from “Why should this specific school accept you?” to “What makes you believe that you would be a good physician?” There are many books and internet resources that have this information readily available. • Write, review (proofread), edit in detail; analyze it thoroughly. • Print out your statement, and then have two other people read your statement to check for errors. Confidently send in your personal statement knowing that you have put a lot of time
