Most frequent questions and answers about our services.

Our carefully-selected editing team is currently made up of physicians and medical students who have completed our rigorous screening, application, and training process.  Some of our editors have either sat on admissions committees or have contributed in some capacity to admissions at their school.  It’s critical for your essays to be viewed from multiple different perspectives, so we make it a priority to have a very diverse team of editors.

This number is based off of the number of applicants who got back to us saying whether or not they were accepted into at least one medical school.

In order to be an editor for Motivate MD, the person needs to check off two boxes. 1. They were accepted and currently attend or graduated from medical school. 2. They have an expertise for English writing.  Both a medical student and physician can check off those boxes. We strongly believe that just because someone is a physician does not mean they are qualified to review essays.

That being said, we do have a few physicians a part of our team who are extremely talented. We primarily like to have medical students be editors for one simple reason: They are closer to the medical school application process.

This can vary depending on the time of the year (there is a huge influx of essays from late May through August), but we always have a team goal to get reviews back to people within 48 hours. We have a guarantee of a 2-3 day turnaround. We strive for timely delivery, however, quality and effectiveness are our main priorities.

After you purchase a review package, you will get an email with what the next steps are. All drafts and reviews are sent via email.

You will receive a confirmation email for your purchase (check your trash/spam folders, if you don’t see it after a day) that outlines the immediate next steps in our review process. 

The short answer is no.  Although we started by reviewing only medical school application essays, we have been able to cater our editing secrets to make any essay memorable. 

We have helped those applying to medical residencies, PA school, dental school, nursing school, and grad/law school create very effective and unique essays.  Just give us any information you can during the checkout process to help us optimize our reviews to fit your specific situation!

Ansel N., MD/PhD

Radiation Oncology Resident Former Medical School: Ohio State

My name is Ansel Nalin. I am a current Radiation Oncology resident at MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston, TX. I graduated from the Ohio State University College of Medicine MD/PhD program.

While in medical school, I tutored first- and second-year medical students, helping them review lecture material and prepare for block exams. I taught study strategies to first-year students adjusting to the medical school curriculum. I worked individually with students during board exam preparation. I also led a review course for MD/PhD students prior to taking Step 1. In addition to my role as a tutor, I was also selected by the Ohio State College of Medicine Academic Office staff to serve in a leadership role for two years. In this role I led the team of 40 students on the peer tutoring team. I met weekly with College of Medicine staff to plan academic programs benefitting first- and second-year medical students. Together we organized and managed academic resources for medical students including our peer tutoring programs, group review sessions, and student-led review lectures. I coordinated the tutoring assignments for medical students involved in the program; over 100 students utilized the programs. We oversaw the creation of new student-led anatomy review sessions that were incorporated into the medical school academic program.

While enrolled in the MD/PhD program, I completed my PhD in cancer immunology studying natural killer cell development. I also collaborated on translational research projects seeking to identify new cell-based therapies for cancer. I published multiple papers in high impact journals and had the opportunity to present my work at both local and international conferences. I continue to pursue research that develops immune-based therapies for cancer and plan to pursue a career as a physician-scientist.

I joined the team at Motivate MD to help students achieve their goals in medicine. I have benefitted from the support of many outstanding mentors, and I strive to have a similarly positive impact in helping students succeed. My experiences as a tutor and teaching assistant, in both undergraduate and medical school, have helped me develop excellent skills in communication and mentoring. In addition to my teaching and leadership experience, I have developed specific skills to help students with the application and interview process for medical school and residency programs.

Not only am I familiar with what makes a strong application, I am prepared to help students highlight their strengths in their essays and interviews. I have extensive writing and speaking experience from my graduate studies. I have coached other students in communicating effectively. From my own experience in interviewing for medical school and residency, I can help students gain confidence in their communication skills and clearly express their motivations and goals. As a member of the Motivate MD team, I am passionate about helping students work toward their goal of a successful career in medicine.

I am an OBGYN resident and graduate of the University of Cincinnati. Throughout medical school, I engaged in research at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital and UCCOM’s OBGYN department. I have a strong background in mentorship. In medical school, I was a part of an organization that would mentor local Cincinnati youths. I was also involved in mentoring medical students in the years below through her medical scholar’s program. I also have a lot of experience editing medical school essays and mentoring my scribes when I was a chief scribe during my gap years. I took two years off prior to applying for medical school. During this time, I completed research at WashU with a neuroimaging lab as a clinical research coordinator and scribed in an emergency department. The medical application process was daunting for me. I went through the process of taking the MCAT multiple times and struggled to figure out where I would be a competitive applicant. I chose to work for Motivate MD to assist students with this intimidating process and help in areas where I felt I was lacking guidance prior to medical school! I am very excited to get the opportunity to work with you!

Jisoo is a medical student at Harvard Medical School. She has a background in neurobiology wet-lab research, and has a strong interest in mentorship, especially of underserved populations. Everyone has a unique journey to medical school, and Jisoo is committed to helping applicants present their own unique journeys in a meaningful and comprehensive manner. She has lots of experience working with individuals that have diverse pathways to medical school and closely collaborates with applicants from the beginning to the end of their application process, providing individualized support for each applicant.

Hi! My name is Rhys (pronounced like “Reese’s Pieces”) and I am a medical student at Yale School of Medicine.

I have upwards of 9 years experience mentoring peers, most recently aiding students through the premedical path at my undergrad. I also have worked as an executive function/planning tutor for Los Angeles area high school and college students. Earlier in college, I worked as a research aide/teaching assistant helping students leverage “writing-to-learn” in order to improve their understanding of complex concepts.

After graduating  Summa Cum Laude  with a Bachelors of Science in Biomedical Engineering and Health Policy from the University of Southern California in 2021, I took a gap year primarily to scribe at a pediatric clinic to boost my clinical experience hours and to continue to work on a philanthropic start-up I co-founded while at USC.

At USC, I had multiple research experiences ranging from biomedical device research in a hybrid wet lab to policy analysis. I also was heavily involved in pro-bono consulting for non-profits and social enterprises.

I have personal experience approaching the common “Why Medicine?” question from a non-traditional angle (engineering major/activities and low clinical hours compared to non-clinical), tying in a non-standard major “X factor” extracurricular into the overall theme of an application, and expressing interest in dual degrees/interdisciplinary medical careers (policy, public health etc).

I look forward to helping you plan for and execute your unique path to medical school!

George Washington School of Medicine and Health Sciences

Hi Everyone! My name is Anthu Gnanakumar and I am a medical student at the George Washington School of Medicine and Health Sciences. I majored in neuroscience and minored in English at the University of Virginia prior to taking a gap year and attending medical school. During my gap year, I worked as a medical assistant (MA) at endocrinology and pediatric primary care practices. I really value the hands-on experience I got through being an MA and would highly recommend taking a gap year if you are at all considering it!

I remember being daunted by the significant uptick in medical school applications during the pandemic and can empathize with the ever-increasing competitiveness of getting into medical school. I have mentored and advised multiple peers and friends from high school and college as they navigated the application process and look forward to extending that mentorship to many of you. It is my hope that we can work together to shape your narrative into meaningful essays and interview responses!

Duke University School of Medicine

Hi all! My name is Arthi and I’m a medical student at Duke. I am originally from New Jersey and went to Duke for undergrad where I was able to discover interests in medical humanities, global health, and peer mentorship. Having previously taught in an art studio, I found ways to engage with medical humanities through storytelling and creative arts with elders with dementia. In medical school, I help run a program that allows admitted patients to share their life story and with cartoon creations to simplify medical diagnoses. I also majored in global health and worked on projects in based in Uganda and India during undergrad that focused on studying how evidence-based interventions actually function in practice. I spent my gap year as a global health research assistant which allowed me to gain experience with all stages of project initiation, management, and dissemination. I’m working towards spending Duke’s MS3 research year engaging with global health implementation research on site. I don’t have any family in medicine so I asked for a lot of advice from upperclassmen and medical students throughout. I was a peer tutor for over 3 years and during my senior year, I started a peer advising program that’s goal was to reach beyond just academics. During that time, I mentored many premed students on course choice, finding research and volunteering experiences, applying to summer program and gap year jobs, MCAT, and building a school list. I continued many of these relationships since graduating and have been able to provide continued support through brainstorming and editing primary and secondary applications, interview prep, and ultimately decision making. One thing I’ve come to learn from my process and that my classmates is that there isn’t one right way to do things and it can be valuable to talk through and understand your priorities and the things that make you the most excited and craft your application around those. I know how stressful and draining each step of the application process can be and I would love the chance to provide some of guidance and support I received at whichever turn you need.

NYU Grossman School of Medicine Admissions Committee Experience

Hi! My name is Kate and I’m a current medical student at NYU Grossman School of Medicine in New York City! I’m originally from Kingsport, Tennessee and attended Clemson University where I completed my undergraduate degree in Chemical Engineering and a master’s degree in Applied Health Research. I have many years of experience as an advisor and mentor, mainly through working as study abroad ambassador and as a peer tutor and peer mentor through a Women in Engineering organization at my school. Later in college, I also worked as a teaching assistant for a challenging chemical engineering course in my degree. I also volunteered my time as a tour guide and was able to provide loads of advice and guidance to future students through that role. While finishing my master’s degree at Clemson University, I worked as a scribe at a gastroenterology clinic to boost my clinical experience hours. During this time, I also served as a mentor and health coach for a local volunteer organization with a mission to help people get off of government assistance. At Clemson, I had multiple research experiences ranging from social psychology to OB/GYN clinical research. I was also heavily involved with STEM outreach at local schools, ran a pitch competition, and volunteered as a conversational partner for international students who were learning English. I also spent the summer after I graduated college working at Interlochen Arts Camp as a camp counselor and reigniting my passion for theatre and the arts. I have had a slightly more non-traditional path to medicine (engineering degree/extracurriculars, taking a year to do a master’s, working at an arts camp), and I have a lot of experience in how to best weave together your own unique story in order to stand out to admissions committees. As a current medical student, I now spend my time working as an Admissions Ambassador and serving as a mentor to incoming students. I also currently interview for my medical school and so I can provide a lot of insight as I’ve sat on both sides of the Zoom interview screen. I look forward to helping you put your best foot forward in your applications and interviews for medical school!

Hello! I am a medical student at Columbia University Vagelos College of Physicians and Surgeons planning to apply into neurology this upcoming fall. I have extensive mentoring and advising experience both prior to medical school, when I served as a peer advisor for my undergraduate institution’s pre-health club, and as a medical student, continuing to advise undergraduates on essay writing, interview preparation, and general application and career advice. I also work as a mentor in the local community, tutoring and advising 8 th grade and high school age students interested in the health sciences. I have significant research and publication experience beginning as an undergraduate and continuing throughout medical school, having published four first-author manuscripts while contributing to multiple others. Prior to medical school, I spent a gap year as a National Institutes of Health Post-baccalaureate Intramural Research Training Award fellow, a role in which I studied Alzheimer’s disease proteomics and metabolomics. Currently, my research focus has shifted towards neuroinfectious diseases and contributions of infectious exposures to lifetime dementia risk. In addition to clinical medicine, I have a strong interest in public health and anthropology that informs my research and clinical pursuits. 

Hello! My name is Jessica, and I am a medical student at the University of California San Francisco School of Medicine. I completed my undergraduate degree in Molecular & Cellular Biology at Johns Hopkins University, along with a minor in Entrepreneurship & Management. At Hopkins, I played on the varsity tennis team, served as a peer tutor, and volunteered at the JHH Sickle Cell Infusion Center. After graduating from college, I took on a full-time position at the Sickle Cell Infusion Center as a clinical research coordinator. I stayed in this role for one gap year, where I ran the largest registry of sickle cell disease patients in the United States, helping to characterize disparities faced in health outcomes and access to care. Since starting medical school, I have become heavily involved in cervical cancer research, volunteering at the Chinese Hospital in downtown San Francisco, and advocating for vulnerable populations. As a first-generation medical student, I understand how overwhelming the application process is and how vital near-peer guidance can be. I’ve helped several applicants through their application writing and interview process, who will all be matriculating to medical school this upcoming fall. I look forward to helping you curate your own story, put your best foot forward, and pursue your dream career!

Medical School Personal Statement Editing: Your Key to Success

Medical school personal statement editing services offer far more than simply proofreading and language enhancement. We’ll explain what they do and why they’re worthwhile in this article. One of the most crucial parts of your application will be your medical school personal statement . When done properly, it can personalize your application and demonstrate to the admissions committee why you are the ideal candidate for both their program and a future in medicine. When combined with your medical school secondary essays , it can really increase the likelihood of acceptance. However, a poor personal statement might detract from your candidacy and harm your chances of getting into your preferred program. Read on to find out more about editing services for medical school personal statements.

A successful application to medical school requires more than good grades.

When you are applying to medical schools in the US , a personal statement or  statement of intent will always be required. This document should explain to the individual looking through your application why you want to become a physician, why you will be a good physician, and why you are interested in the medical school to which you are applying. In other words, your medical school personal statement allows you to speak to the admissions committee in your own words about what makes you a good fit for the program. Given how competitive medical schools are, this is crucial.

With the average overall medical school acceptance rate  in the US being well below 10%, you cannot afford to neglect any detail in your medical school application. Medical school acceptance rates in Canada are somewhat better, but they are still under 20% of all applicants. However, the good news, according to the Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC) , is that in a recent admission cycle, “applicants to medical school soared by a record-setting 17.8%” and “the number of accepted students and new enrollments into medical school also reached new highs.” While the exact causes of this surge are yet to be identified, recognition of physicians’ contributions in dealing with the recent global health crisis, greater awareness of their role in alleviating social injustice, increased interest by traditionally underrepresented groups, and reductions in certain expenses associated with applying may all have had a part to play.

Would you like to learn why "show, don’t tell" is the most important rule of any personal statement? Watch this:

First, medical school personal statement editing services do much more than simply check your writing for grammatical and syntactic faults. Plenty of software and providers exist for that purpose if you need them. Our experts who edit medical school personal statements are real admission specialists who are intimately familiar with the application procedure for medical schools. It is important to note, however, that our editing services do not compose your statement for you. A professional medical school personal statement editing service is not what you need if you are expecting to hire someone to perform the task for you. We advise you to stay away from consultants who provide this service, as it is an unethical activity that can prevent you from getting into the program of your choice.

Rather, our medical school personal statement editors analyze application essays submitted by medical school candidates and employ their expertise to give each applicant specific criticism and direction on how to improve their texts. The goal is to write and submit a personal statement that is more persuasive to improve your chances of being accepted into your program of choice.

Medical school acceptance stories can be encouraging and inspiring when so many applicants still feel like they won’t measure up. They may worry about how to find pre-med research opportunities or how to get into medical school with a low MCAT . These are valid concerns, of course, and to deal with them, you may wish to consider admissions consulting services. What is it like to work with a BeMo admissions consultant during application season? Well, in addition to providing one-on-one consulting services, with the highest standards and a 100% satisfaction guarantee, we do comprehensive essay and personal statement reviews and provide thorough feedback and guidance.

What we often find when meeting with students for the first time is not that they are unimpressive candidates for medical school but that they are uncertain about the steps they need to take in the application process and don’t know how to emphasize their qualities. In fact, applicants can often ignore some very significant aspects of their background that can be integrated into their materials to craft a winning personal statement. Certainly, other applicants to medical school will match the prerequisites for admission and have strong academic records and prior health care experience. Nevertheless, the written application components, such as your personal statement and essays or even a medical school letter of intent , are what offer you a chance to stand out from the competition. Once these are in order, you can start to consider medical school interview prep with more confidence.

Here are some tips in writing a medical school personal statement:

What Do Medical School Personal Statement Editing Services Do?

Applicants who use medical school personal statement editing services benefit from:

Ensuring Your Personal Statement Is as Strong as All Other Elements in Your Application

Students applying to grad school , or students dealing with med school rejection , may find themselves obsessing over their grades, test results, or professional experience. However, note that most medical school applications are rejected, so this is not a rare occurrence that makes you a failure or means you are not cut out to be a physician. If this disappointing decision makes you all the more determined to succeed, consider the following: first, the CASPer Test & Multiple Mini Interview (MMI) seem to be highly coachable . You may have heard the opposite, but the fact is, very few skills are innate, and you can train for and improve on almost anything you attempt in life.

Second, the same is true for any other aspect of your medical school application, including the essay components or your AMCAS most meaningful experiences . If you achieved the average accepted GPA and MCAT scores, properly prepared for CASPer, submitted your application on time, selected the right schools, and sent out the optimal number of applications, chances are your personal statement didn’t showcase your qualities or wow the admissions committee.

Substantive Editing 

The goal of substantive editing, often referred to as structural editing, is to improve the organization, substance, and overall presentation of a document from start to finish. As an applicant, you can better shape your personal statement by defining your objectives, determining what the medical school is looking for, and identifying personal and professional characteristics you possess that make you an excellent candidate for the school and the medical profession in general.

Your medical school personal statement should convey a significant amount of information to the admissions committee, but more important than quantity is quality. Not all your experiences should be included, and some should be included that you may not think of as relevant. For example, if you happen to have a physician in the family, and you have had fifteen years of exposure to the profession by visiting their offices or clinics on a regular basis, some of this background is worth mentioning. However, rather than listing every single activity, you could summarize these experiences and highlight how they inspired you to go into medicine yourself.

On the other hand, if you have very little direct experience in the medical field per se but have volunteered with children or seniors throughout your life, you could list your takeaways from these activities, what you learned from them about caring for people, and how you would potentially apply this knowledge as a physician. Each applicant is unique, and there are many different ways to present such information. This is why medical school personal statement editing services can be so helpful— with their wealth of expertise, advisors take the guesswork out of what to include and can zone in on what they know medical schools are hoping to see in a personal statement.

Identifying and Removing Irrelevant or Extraneous Information

Your medical school personal statement is one of the most important and versatile tools at your disposal to convey your candidacy to the admissions committee, but only if it is written properly. The character limit usually depends on the application system and includes spaces: 5,300 for AMCAS applications, 5,000 for TMDSAS, and 4,500 for AACOMAS. If you use your personal statement to explain how you meet all the criteria, such as medical school GPA requirements , you won’t be able to convince the admissions committee that you are the ideal candidate because you will just be repeating yourself; they already have the rest of your application and will be aware of whether you meet the requirements.

Rather, your medical school personal statement is your first of only a few opportunities to dazzle the admissions committee. Who you are and not just what you have done will be conveyed through your personal statement. Remember that admissions committees review your application holistically, so you should not worry they will “miss” something simply because you have not added it to your personal statement. After you write your first draft, one of the first things that medical school personal statement editing services will do is remove any content that repeats what another part of your application already states. This can really assist in your initial attempts at writing because you may not be sure what to leave in and what to leave out.

Framing Existing Information

Because medical school personal statement editing services are managed by admission professionals, they have an in-depth understanding of the admissions sector. For instance, they are skilled at sifting through the “admissions jargon” on university websites so they can genuinely help you in determining the talents and values that a particular medical school is seeking and ensuring that you are emphasizing those aspects in your personal statement.

Additionally, these advisors are unbiased, knowledgeable outsiders who carefully consider the specifics of your academic background and experiences. This enables them to recognize the behaviors and abilities that make you a stronger candidate. For instance, you might believe that your athleticism and participation in team sports has nothing to do with your medical school application, or that the ten years you spent studying and teaching piano are unrelated to medicine. However, a consultant can show you how to write about your best extracurriculars for medical school in a way that would be appealing to the program of your choice.

Learning Writing Strategies and Better Communication Skills

Writing a medical school personal statement is difficult, and many applicants are unaware that they might not be strong essay writers. Perhaps you haven’t written an academic admissions essay before, or maybe the last time you did was when you were writing your supplemental college application essays . Unfortunately, few of us ever took classes on how to write personal statements or essays for academic entrance. Therefore, even talented writers and outstanding English students lack the skills necessary to produce a medical school personal statement that will really impress an admissions committee.

Without assistance and guidance, you can easily fall into the trap of composing a generic essay that adheres to conventional online writing advice and doesn’t significantly improve your application as a whole. You may even give it to a parent, peer, or instructor to read and they will congratulate you on how great it is. But these individuals will not have a strong enough grasp of admission considerations either. By engaging with a medical school personal statement editing service, you can learn effective methods and strategies for this specific purpose. These resources to improve your written communication skills and essay writing approach can greatly enhance your likelihood of attracting positive attention from the admissions committee and your chances of success.

Because medical school personal statement editing services do not rewrite your essay for you but rather, help you brainstorm and teach you new writing skills, you will be better equipped to produce a similar personal statement in future or tackle any other admissions-related documents, such as a research interest statement . Therefore, while medical school personal statement editing services may seem like a short-term commitment, they actually represent a long-term investment in your academic and professional career.

Editing and proofreading our own writing is difficult. Not only do we become emotionally invested in the writing we produce, but we also read it so frequently that we are prone to overlooking little details like typos or more serious grammatical faults. Thinking that these elements don’t matter that much is a mistake. Call it an “unforced error.” When it is already so hard to get into medical school, why worsen your chances by submitting a sloppy application? Even minor grammatical errors and typos can give the admissions committee the impression that you either didn’t bother to proofread and rewrite your essay or that you weren’t focusing on it very closely.

Further, the medical profession is one that requires precision and attention to detail. The care you take in preparing your application materials may well indicate overall qualities that are sought in physicians: demonstrating that you are skilled, focused, knowledgeable, and a good communicator can all be accomplished through an excellent personal statement.

With that said, not everyone has a talent for writing. Indeed, you may have chosen medicine because science and human connection were much more interesting to you than literature or composition. Even talented writers occasionally have trouble writing about themselves or developing an appropriate structure for personal statements. Weaknesses in these areas do not mean you are not qualified for medical school; however, not taking the time to ensure you produce the absolute best result for your application is a red flag for medical school admissions committees. Medical school personal statement editing services are there for this reason as well. Consultants will check your text for syntax, grammar, clarity, and cohesiveness, and, most importantly, ensure that it is error-free.

Finding the Best Medical School Personal Statement Editing Service for You

Once you’ve decided to seriously consider using a medical school personal statement editing service, you’ll need to find one that is right for you. With so many services available online and many with great reviews, how do you choose?

We also advise searching for a medical school personal statement editing service that provides a guarantee. Unfortunately, even when a student follows all the advice of the experts and submits a quality essay, they may still be rejected. What happens to the money you paid for their services in that situation? In BeMo\u2019s case, we offer a money-back guarantee because we prefer to back up what we say.  "}]">

Make every effort to improve your medical school personal statement to increase your chances of getting into a medical school in the current competitive environment. That is the purpose of a medical school personal statement service. The experts that provide these services can assist you in emphasizing your qualities and addressing any potential concerns in a way that still presents you as a fine candidate. Additionally, working with a specialist who is familiar with the procedures will guarantee that your personal statement is done correctly. Finally, this guidance can enhance your overall communication abilities.

Spend some time investigating various editing services utilizing the advice we’ve provided above and make an investment in your future by obtaining this extra assistance from reputable medical school personal statement editing services.

Medical schools are highly competitive. The overall medical school acceptance rate in the US is well below 10%, and in Canada, it is below 20%.

A personal statement is a required document in most medical school applications. It allows you to explain to the admissions committee what makes you an ideal candidate for medical school and why you will be a great physician. Therefore, given how competitive medical schools are, the personal statement is highly important.

A good medical school personal statement introduces you to the admissions committee, gives some insights into your background, explains why you selected the field of medicine, answers the question, “ why do you want to be a doctor ,” emphasizes the qualities you possess that make you a good candidate, and highlights why you will be a good physician. You should adapt your personal statement to the requirements, whether you are applying to a specific school or through an application system, such as AMCAS.

Expert Tips to Impress the Pickiest Committee

Together with medical school essay editing, our specialists provide expert recommendations and useful advice to improve your essay. Here are some tips from our editors to craft a successful med school application essay:

• Pay attention to the introduction and conclusion. An interesting hook at the beginning of the essay can help you attract the committee’s attention. Also, applicants often forget about the conclusion, which is the biggest mistake. A memorable concluding paragraph is one more opportunity to re-state why you are a perfect candidate and highlight your qualities and passion for applying for a medical school.
• Plan everything carefully. It is an effective strategy to craft the best essay for medical school admission. For instance, you can adhere to a step-by-step approach. Start with brainstorming and outline an essay. This way, it will be easier to ensure that you haven’t missed anything important.
• Highlight your best qualities. Emphasizing your unique personality is significant to stand out from the crowd. Moreover, it will show the committee that you know how to present yourself effectively. Remember that it’s not boasting of yourself. Instead, you provide necessary arguments supporting why you are a perfect candidate for the chosen program.
• Add details. Do not forget to mention real-life examples in your essay. For example, show how you demonstrated your qualities. Or you can tell the story describing the events that affected your personality development.
• Rely on your experience. Your skills, qualifications, academic background, and experiences are your main arguments. Of course, high grades and brilliant test scores are great. But the admission committee is searching for applicants who can implement their knowledge and qualities. Still, keep in mind that the mentioned experiences should be valuable and relevant.

Finally, do not forget to check everything before submitting because even a minor mistake can spoil the overall impression. With the professional medical personal statement help of our editors, you will be confident in the quality of your application essay for medical school.

One of the most crucial components of the application process for medical school is the personal statement. 

Why? This mini-essay allows you to differentiate yourself from other aspiring medical students by showcasing your passion and personality rather than just your academic performance.

AMCAS medical school admissions committees receive a lot of applications. Therefore, yours should stand out and be interesting. Your personal statement is your opportunity to discuss how your life experiences shaped your ideal future and how they have inspired you to pursue a career in healthcare or the medical industry. 

This article is for you if you are looking for the best personal statement editing services.

What is a Personal Statement for Medical School?

Your personal statement is one of the first things you will write for your medical school application . For good reason, most students dedicate most of their time to this section. Never undervalue the importance of crafting the best possible personal statement.

The purpose of the personal statement is to explain why you want to become a doctor. Not to advertise that you are a student or aspiring physician. The admissions committee wants to ensure you are applying for the right programs and know what you are getting into.

Your personal statement should include information about the occasions that first inspired you to consider a healthcare career. 

Why Do Personal Statements Matter to Medical Schools?  

Since the personal statement serves as a bridge to an interview, it is essential. Even so, your personal statement should still be a fantastic journey outlining your motivation for applying to medical school. This is true even if everyone engaged in the same extracurricular activities and all the numbers were the same. 

The purpose of your personal statement for medical school is to help the admissions committee connect with you, learn more about you, and make sure you understand what you are getting into. They will not be as willing to take a chance on a student they think will not be happy working as a doctor .

The best thing you can do is ensure you have had enough experience in the field to determine whether this job is right for you. If you do not, you might quit practicing medicine thoroughly or burn out and be miserable early in your career. 

At the very least, choosing to become a doctor should be a conscious decision, even though there are many valid reasons.

As with the procedure, the weight each school gives the personal statement varies. Many colleges might prioritize personal information when deciding whether to interview a student. However, other schools might focus more attention on other areas.

Medical School Personal Statement Editing Services: Pros and Cons

Because a personal statement is all about you, it can be more complicated than a research paper or any other essay. Writing truthfully about oneself can be more complex than writing about touchy historical events or divisive subjects like politics.

There are companies where you can pay someone to write your personal statement if you need one and are having trouble with it. These expert writers have completed medical school personal statements for numerous other students similar to you. Working with an expert is the way to go if you want success without putting in the work.

To help you weigh your options, here are the pros and cons of personal statement editing services:

• The writer can complete your essay far more quickly than you could.
• Your chosen writer can complete this essay more effectively and earn a good grade.
• Depending on the writer, it can be pretty inexpensive and saves you much time and effort.
• There is no plagiarism involved—only original, handwritten essays.
• You can never be confident whether or not to trust the personal statement writer.
• What happens if they make a mistake and will not fix it or give you a refund?
• What should you do if you are accused of stealing or plagiarizing the essay?
• Sometimes, writers for medical school personal statements can be costly.
• You may need to redo everything they have done, and you will have less time before your personal statement is due.

How to Choose the Best Medical School Personal Statement Editing Services

You must be fully aware of certain fundamentals if you entrust your work to trustworthy experts to edit your medical school personal statement.

Make sure your chosen company is reputable and trustworthy before placing the order. It is simple to complete if you have had any prior good experiences with this company. 

If this is not the case, take some time to investigate the business's dependability. In the long run, it can save you time and work.

Here are some tips on how to choose the best personal statement editing services:

1. Do Your Research

Examine the paperwork. Verify the legitimacy of the medical school personal statement editing company and, if relevant, whether it is licensed to conduct this work. The pertinent documentation must also attest to the employees' qualifications and education.

2. Gather Feedback

You should not depend just on the reviews posted on the business website. Look up the company's name on Google and click through the online links to it. Observe the conversations occurring at the language forums.

3. Ask the Personal Statement Editing Service/Company.

Ask the medical school personal statement editing service management if you are still unsure. Please briefly explain your needs to the staff and ask them to walk you through the procedure. It is best to look for another company if you have any remaining doubts about the competence or reliability of this one.

4. Do Not Let the Price Fool You

It can be extremely high or, conversely, extremely low. The best action would be to compile data regarding current market prices and follow the average reward size.

However, the unusually high or low price may sometimes be grounded, for example, by the order's fulfillment speed. Therefore, speaking with the company representative about these matters is preferable.

What students say about AcceptMed.

My experience with AcceptMed was overall really great! Zujaja's warm demeanor instantly put me at ease, especially since I was a little nervous doing a mock interview over video call (something I'd never done before). She was both supportive and insightful when giving feedback in our mock MMI, and the quality of feedback and discussion I had with Read more about review stating Great support for interview preparationher far surpassed that which I had received from any college advisor. In conducting our mock MMI, she was very flexible and tailored the MMI to my preferences by asking both traditional and situational/ethical questions. She also had great follow-up questions/push-back to my responses that made me think more deeply about the ethical issues at hand. I would definitely recommend AcceptMed and Zujaja to anyone who would like some constructive feedback and a boost of confidence going into interview day!

Couldn't have asked for a better experience. Want to know what admissions committees want to see? If you actually listen and take his suggestions, your application will be on another level. I got so many comments during interviews about the specific edits we worked on in my personal statement and experiences.

Honestly, this was a great experience. I looked into a lot of companies and was honestly very skeptical about hiring consulting but it was a really positive experience and I got good feedback that I haven’t gotten from anyone else (and I've asked other premed students, other med school students, as well as premed advising at my university). Ryan iRead more about review stating Ryan REALLY cares about his studentss also incredibly knowledgeable and paid a lot of attention to the details of my application. Admittedly I was really skeptical with his idea for how to change my essay because I did not think I could fit so much content in the character count but he really worked with me and despite only using 2 edits for my personal statement, I definitely think it came out better. He also responded very quickly to email and was proactive about helping me. It felt like he really cared about me and helping me make the best of my application.

As a reapplicant I was worried about not getting into schools again and was hesitant to use a consulting service. Looking back on it, I am so glad I did now with 4 MD acceptances including my top choice. Dr. K helped me find out what went wrong during my last cycle and make the necessary changes to my application. My stats didn't jump off the pageRead more about review stating Project Reapply: Success, but together we worked on making sure every single piece of my application was so much stronger than my last application cycle. When interviews came along, I felt much more prepared and at ease when discussing my application. You can bet I'm coming back for residency advice.

Can I choose my editor?

Yes! After you complete your puchase you have the opportunity to make requests. While we try to match every student to their requested advisor, we cannot always guarantee availability.

What if I don’t know where to start?

Don’t worry! Many of our packages include brainstorming in which our expert Harvard doctor will walk you through creating your first draft. They will help you introspect to identify important experiences and insights in both your professional and personal life to create the content that will be the backbone of your application.

The Only 3 Medical School Personal Statement Examples You Need to Read

Posted in: Applying to Medical School

Table of Contents

The personal statement is one of the most important parts of the med school application process because t his mini-essay is a critical opportunity for you to stand out from other prospective medical students by demonstrating your passion and personality, not just your grades.

Admissions committees receive hundreds or more AMCAS medical school applications , so yours should be unique and captivating. Your medical school personal statement shows admissions officers who you are beyond your high school or pre-med GPA , extracurriculars , and MCAT score . 

The best personal statements are… well, personal . This is your chance to share what life experiences have compelled you toward a career in healthcare or the medical field , and how those experiences shape the picture of your ideal future.

MedSchoolCoach has crucial advice for writing your personal statement . 

Read these examples of personal statements for prospective med students.

Writing a great medical school personal statement is a lot easier with the right support. We’ve helped numerous med school applicants craft top-notch personal statements and can do the same for you.

But first: 7 steps to writing an engaging personal statement.

Before you read these excellent examples, you need to understand the process of writing a personal statement.  

Include these in your medical school personal statement:

• Why you’re passionate about becoming a doctor
• Your qualities that will make you a great physician
• Personal stories that demonstrate those qualities
• Specific examples of the communities you want to serve as a member of the medical field

What are the most important things to remember when writing a medical school personal statement ?

• Begin the writing process early: Give yourself plenty of time for brainstorming and to revisit your first draft, revising it based on input from family members and undergrad professors. Consult the application timeline for your target enrollment season.
• Choose a central theme: An unfocused essay will leave readers confused and uninterested. Give your statement a clear thesis in the first paragraph that guides its formation.
• Start with a hook: Grab the reader’s attention immediately with your statement’s first sentence. Instead of opening with a conventional introduction, be creative! Begin with something unexpected.
• Be the you of today, not the you of the future: Forecasting your future as a physician can come across as empty promises. Don’t get caught up in your ambitions; instead, be honest about your current situation and interest in the field of medicine.
• Demonstrate your passion: It’s not enough to simply state your interest in becoming a doctor; you have to prove it through personal stories. Show how your perspectives have been shaped by formative experiences and how those will make you an effective physician.
• Show, don’t tell : Avoid cliches that admissions committees have heard hundreds of times, like “I want to help people.” Make your writing come alive with dynamic, persuasive storytelling that recounts your personal experiences.
• Tie everything together: Conclude by wrapping up your main points. Reiterate your passion for the medical profession, your defining personal qualities, and why you’ll make a good doctor.

You can read more about our recommended method in our step-by-step guide , but those are the major points.

Example 1 — From the Stretcher to the Spotlight: My Journey to Becoming an Emergency Medicine Physician

Another siren shrieks as the emergency room doors slide open and a team of EMTs pushes a blood-soaked stretcher through the entrance. It’s the fifth ambulance to arrive tonight — and only my first clinical shadowing experience in an emergency medicine department since my premed education began.

But it wasn’t my first time in an emergency room, and I knew I was meant to be here again.

In those crucial moments on the ER floor, many of my peers learned that they stumble in high-pressure environments. A few weeks of gunshot wounds, drug overdoses, broken bones, and deep lacerations in the busiest trauma bay in the region were enough to alter their career path.

They will be better practitioners somewhere predictable, like a pediatrician in a private practice where they choose their schedules, clients, and staff.

Every healthcare provider has their specialties, and mine are on full display in those crucial moments of lifesaving care. Why am I pursuing a career in Emergency Medicine? Because I’ve seen firsthand the miracles that Emergency Medicine physicians perform.

12 years ago, I was in an emergency room… but I was the one on the stretcher.

A forest-green Saturn coupe rolled into my parent’s driveway. The driver, my best friend Kevin, had just passed his driving test and was itching to take a late-night run to the other side of town. I had ridden with Kevin and his father many times before when he held his learner’s permit. But this time, we didn’t have an adult with us, and the joyride ended differently: with a 40-mph passenger-side collision, T-boned by a drunk driver.

I distinctly recall the sensation of being lifted out of the crumpled car by a paramedic and laid onto a stretcher. A quick drive later, I was in the care of Dr. Smith, the ER resident on call that night. Without missing a beat, he assessed my condition and provided the care I needed. When my mom thanked him for saving my life, he simply responded, “It’s what he needed.”

Now I’m watching other doctors and nurses provide this life-saving care as I observe as a premed student. I see the way the staff works together like a well-oiled machine, and it reminds me of my time in high-school theater.

Everyone has a role to play, however big or small, to make the show a success. All contributions are essential to a winning performance — even the technicians working behind the scenes. That’s what true teamwork is, and I see that same dynamic in the emergency department.

Some actors freeze during performances, overcome by stage fright. Other students are too anxious to even set foot in front of an audience; they remain backstage assisting with split-second costume changes.

Not me. I felt energized under the spotlight, deftly improvising to help my co-stars when they would forget their lines. Admittedly, I wasn’t the best actor or singer in the cast, but I provided something essential: assurance under pressure. Everyone knew me as dependable, always in their corner when something went awry. I had a reputation for remaining calm and thinking on my feet.

My ability to stay unruffled under pressure was first discovered on stage, but I can use it on a very different platform providing patient care. Now, when other people freeze under the intensity of serving public health on the front lines, I can step in and provide my calm, collected guidance to see them through.

As an ER doctor, I will have to provide that stability when a nurse gets flustered by a quarrelsome patient or shaken from an irreparably injured infant. When you’re an Emergency Medicine physician, you’re not following a script. It takes an aptitude of thinking on your toes to face the fast pace and unpredictable challenges of an emergency center.

During my time shadowing, I saw experienced physicians put those assured, gentle communication skills to use. A 13-year-old boy was admitted for a knife wound he’d received on the streets. He only spoke Spanish, but it was clear he mistrusted doctors and was alarmed by the situation. In mere minutes, one of the doctors calmed the patient so he could receive care he needed.

Let me be clear: I haven’t simply gravitated toward Emergency Medicine because I liked it most. It’s not the adrenaline or the pride that compel me. I owe Emergency Medicine my life, and I want to use my life to extend the lives of other people. Every person brought into the trauma bay could be another me , no matter what they look like.

People are more than their injury, health record, or circumstances. They are not just a task to complete or a challenge to conquer.

My childhood injury gave me an appreciation for the work of ER doctors and a compassion for patients, to foster well-being when people are most broken and vulnerable. I already have the dedication to the work and the heart for patients; I just need the medical knowledge and procedural skills to perform life-saving interventions. My ability to remain calm, think on my toes, be part of a team, and work decisively without making mistakes or overlooking critical issues will serve me well as an Emergency Medicine physician.

Some ER physicians I spoke with liked to think that they’re “a different breed” than other medical professionals — but I don’t see it that way. We’re just performing a different role than the rest of the cast.

Breaking It Down

Let’s look at what qualities make this a great personal statement for med school.

• Engaging opening: The writer painted a vivid scene that immediately puts the reader in their shoes and leaves them wanting more.
• Personal examples: The writer demonstrated his ability to stay calm, work as a team, and problem-solve through theater experience, which he also uses as a comparison. And, he explained his passion for Emergency Medical care from his childhood accident.
• Organized: The writer transitions fluidly between body paragraphs, connecting stories and ideas by emphasizing parallels and hopping back and forth between time.
• Ample length: Makes full use of the AACOMAS and AMCAS application personal statement’s character limit of 5,300 characters (including spaces), which is about 850-950 words.

Unsure what traits and clinical or research experience your preferred medical school values ? You can research their admissions requirements and mission statement using the MSAR .

Example 2 — Early Clinical Work For Empathetic Patient Care

The applicant who wrote this personal statement was accepted into University of South Florida Morsani College of Medicine, University of Central Florida College of Medicine, and Tufts University School of Medicine.

As I walked briskly down the hall to keep up during our daily rounds in the ICU, I heard the steady beeping of Michelle’s cardiac monitor and saw a ruby ornament twinkling on the small Christmas tree beside her. She was always alone, but someone had decorated her room for the holidays.

It warmed my heart that I wasn’t the only one who saw her as more than a patient in a coma. I continually felt guilty that I couldn’t spend more time with her; her usual companions were ventilators, IV bags, and catheters, not to mention the golf ball-sized tumors along her spine. Every day, I thought about running to Michelle’s bedside to do anything I could for her.

Thus, I was taken aback when my advisor, who was visiting me that day, asked me if I was okay. It never crossed my mind that at age 17, my peers might not be able to handle the tragedies that healthcare workers consistently face. These situations were difficult, but they invoked humanity and compassion from me. I knew I wanted to pursue medicine. And I knew I could do it.

From my senior year of high school to my senior year of college, I continued to explore my passion for patient interaction.

At the Stepp Lab, I was charged with contacting potential study participants for a study focusing on speech symptoms in individuals with Parkinson’s Disease. The study would help future patients, but I couldn’t help but think: “What are we doing for these patients in return?” I worried that the heart and soul behind the research would get lost in the mix of acoustic data and participant ID numbers.

But my fears were put to rest by Richard, the self-proclaimed “Parkinson’s Song & Dance Man,” who recorded himself singing show tunes as part of his therapy. Knowing that he was legally blind and unable to read caller ID, I was always thrilled when he recognized my voice. The spirit in his voice indicated that my interest in him and his journey with Parkinson’s was meaningful. Talking with him inspired me to dive deeper, which led to an appreciative understanding of his time as a sergeant in the U.S. military.

It was an important reminder: my interest and care are just as important as an effective prescribed treatment plan.

Following graduation, I began my work as a medical assistant for a dermatologist. My experience with a patient, Joann, validated my ability to provide excellent hands-on patient care. Other physicians prescribed her painkillers to relieve the excruciating pain from the shingles rash, which presented as a fiery trail of blisters wrapped around her torso. But these painkillers offered no relief and made her so drowsy that she fell one night on the way to the bathroom.

Joann was tired, suffering, and beaten down. The lidocaine patches we initially prescribed would be a much safer option, but I refused for her to pay $250, as she was on the brink of losing her job. When she returned to the office a week later, she held my hand and cried tears of joy because I found her affordable patches, which helped her pain without the systemic effects.

The joy that pierced through the weariness in her eyes immediately confirmed that direct patient care like this was what I was meant to do. As I passed her a tissue, I felt ecstatic that I could make such a difference, and I sought to do more.

Since graduation, I have been volunteering at Open Door, a small pantry that serves a primarily Hispanic community of lower socioeconomic families. It is gut-wrenching to explain that we cannot give them certain items when our stock is low. After all, the fresh fruits and vegetables I serve are fundamental to their culturally-inspired meals.

For the first time, I found myself serving anguish rather than a helping hand. Usually, uplifting moments strengthen one’s desire to become a physician, but in this case, it was my ability to handle the low points that reignited my passion for aiding others.

After running out of produce one day, I was confused as to why a woman thanked me. Through translation by a fellow volunteer, I learned it was because of my positivity. She taught me that the way I approach unfavorable situations affects another’s perception and that my spirited attitude breaks through language barriers.

This volunteer work served as a wake-up call to the unacceptable fact that U.S. citizens’ health suffers due to lack of access to healthy foods. If someone cannot afford healthy foods, they may not have access to healthcare. In the future, I want to partner with other food banks to offer free services like blood pressure readings. I have always wanted to help people, but I now have a particular interest in bringing help to people who cannot afford it.

While the foundation of medicine is scientific knowledge, the foundation of healthcare is the word “care” itself. I never found out what happened to Michelle and her Christmas tree, but I still wonder about her to this day, and she has strengthened my passion to serve others. A sense of excitement and comfort stems from knowing that I will be there for people on their worst days, since I have already seen the impact my support has had.

In my mind, becoming a physician is not a choice but a natural next step to continue bringing humanity and compassion to those around me.

How did this personal statement grab and sustain attention so well?

• Personalization: Everything about this statement helps you to understand the writer, from their personal experiences to their hope for how their future career will look.
• Showing, not telling: From the first sentence, the reader is hooked. This prospective medical student has plenty of great “on paper” experience (early shadowing, clinical experience, etc.), but they showed this with storytelling, not by repeating their CV.
• Empathy: An admissions committee reading this personal statement would know beyond a shadow of a doubt that this student cares deeply about their patients. They remember first names, individual details, and the emotions that each patient made them feel.
• A clear path forward: The writer doesn’t just want to work in the medical field — they have a passion for exactly how they want to impact the communities they serve. Outside of strictly medical work, they care about the way finances can limit access to healthcare and the struggle to find healthy food in food deserts around the US .

Example 3 — Beyond the Diagnosis: The Importance of Individualized Care in Medicine

The applicant who wrote this personal statement was accepted into Touro College of Osteopathic Medicine and Nova Southeastern University College Of Osteopathic Medicine.

Dr. Haywood sighs and shakes her head upon opening the chart. “I was worried about her A1C. It’s up again. Hypertension, too. Alright, let’s go.”

As we enter the patient’s room, I’m expecting the news about her blood sugar and pressure to fill the room. Instead, Dr. Haywood says, “Roseline! How are you doing? How’s your girl, doing well?”

Dr. Haywood continues to ask questions, genuinely interested in Roseline’s experience as a new mother. If not for the parchment-lined examination chair and anatomy posters plastered to the wall, this exchange could be happening in a grocery store. What about her A1C? Her blood pressure? Potential Type II diabetes?

As I continue to listen, Dr. Haywood discovers that Roseline’s mother moved in with her, cooking Haitian meals I recognize as high on the glycemic index. Dr. Haywood effortlessly evolves their conversation to focus on these. Being Haitian herself, she knows some traditional dishes are healthier than others and advises Roseline to avoid those that might exacerbate her high blood sugar and blood pressure. Dr. Haywood also suggests Roseline incorporate exercise by bringing her baby on a walk through her neighborhood.

During my shadowing experience, I observed one of the core components of being a physician through several encounters like this one. By establishing a relationship with her patient where Roseline was comfortable sharing the details of new motherhood, Dr. Haywood was able to individualize her approach to lowering the patient’s A1C and hypertension. Inspired by her ability to treat the whole person , I began to adopt a similar practice as a tutor for elementary kids in underserved areas of D.C.

Shaniyah did not like Zoom, or math for that matter. When I first met her as a prospective tutee online, she preferred to keep her microphone muted and would claim she was finished with her math homework after barely attempting the first problem. Realizing that basing our sessions solely on math would be fruitless, I adapted my tutoring style to incorporate some of the things for which she had a natural affinity.

The first step was acknowledging the difficulties a virtual environment posed to effective communication, particularly the ease at which distractions might take over. After sharing this with Shaniyah, she immediately disclosed her struggles to share her work with me. With this information, I found an online platform that allowed us to visualize each other’s work.

This obstacle in communication overcome, Shaniyah felt more comfortable sharing details about herself that I utilized as her tutor. Her love of soccer gave me the idea to use the concept of goal scoring to help with addition, and soon Shaniyah’s math skills and enthusiasm began to improve. As our relationship grew, so did her successes, and I suspect the feelings I experienced as her tutor are the same as a physician’s when their patient responds well to prescribed treatment.

I believe this skill, caring for someone as a whole person , that I have learned and practiced through shadowing and tutoring is the central tenet of medicine that allows a doctor to successfully treat their patients.

Inspired by talking with patients who had received life-altering organ transplants during my shadowing experience, I created a club called D.C. Donors for Georgetown University students to encourage their peers to register as organ donors or donate blood. This experience taught me that to truly serve a person, you must involve your whole person, too.

In starting this club to help those in need of transplants, I had to dedicate my time and effort beyond just my physical interactions with these patients. For instance, this involved reaching out to D.C.’s organ procurement organization to inquire about a potential partnership with my club, to which they agreed. In addition, I organized tabling events on campus, which required significant planning and communication with both club members and my university.

Though exciting, starting a club was also a difficult process, especially given the limitations the pandemic imposed on in-person meetings and events. To adapt, I had to plan more engaging meetings, designing virtual activities to make members more comfortable contributing their ideas. In addition, planning a blood drive required extensive communication with my university to ensure the safety of the staff and participants during the pandemic.

Ultimately, I believe these behind-the-scenes actions were instrumental in addressing the need for organ and blood donors in the D.C. area.

From these experiences, I have grown to believe that good medicine not only necessitates the physician cares for her patient as a whole, but also that she fully commits her whole person to the care of the patient. Tutoring and starting D.C. Donors not only allowed me to develop these skills but also to experience such fulfilling emotions: the pride I had in Shaniyah when her math improved, the gratefulness I felt when she confided in me, the steadfast commitment I expressed to transplant patients, and the joy I had in collaborating with other passionate club members.

I envision a career as a physician to demand these skills of me and more, and I have confirmed my desire to become one after feeling so enriched by practicing them.

Here’s what makes this personal statement such a good example of what works:

• Desirable qualities: The student clearly demonstrates qualities any school would want in an applicant: teachability, adaptability, leadership, organization, and empathy, to name a few. This again uses the “show, don’t tell” method, allowing the readers to understand the student without hand-holding.
• Personalized storytelling: Many in the healthcare profession will connect with experiences like the ones expressed here, such as addressing patient concerns relationally or the lack of blood donors during the recent pandemic. The writer automatically makes a personal link between themselves and the admissions committees reading this statement.
• Extensive (but not too long): Without feeling too wordy, this personal statement uses nearly all of the 5,300 characters allowed on the AMCAS application. There’s no fluff left in the final draft, only what matters.

Avoid These Common Mistakes

You can learn a lot from those personal statements. They avoid the most common mistakes that med school applicants make when writing the medical school personal statement.

Here are some things you should avoid in your personal statement if you want to be a doctor:

• Name-dropping: Admissions counselors won’t be impressed when you brag about your highly regarded family members, associates, or mentors. You need to stand on your own feet — not someone else’s.
• Dishonesty: Lies and exaggerations can torpedo your application. And they’re bad habits for anyone entering the medical field. Don’t do it.
• Unedited AI content: Artificial intelligence can help you edit and improve your writing, but don’t let it do the work for you. Your statement needs to be authentic, which means in your voice! A chatbot can’t feel or adequately convey your own empathy, compassion, trauma, drive, or personality.
• Grammatical errors and typos: Have someone reliable proofread your essay and scour it for typos, misspellings, and punctuation errors. Even free grammar-checking apps can catch mistakes!
• Telling without showing: I’ll reiterate how important it is to prove your self-descriptive statements with real-life examples. Telling without showing won’t persuade readers.
• Too many examples: Have 3-4 solid personal stories at most; only include a few that are crucial for providing your points. The more experiences you share, the less impact they’ll make.
• Fluff and filler: Cut all fluff, filler words, and irrelevant points. There are many other places you can include information in your application, such as secondary essays on your clinical experience, volunteer work, and research projects .
