(Canton, OH, 10/26/11) - The medical school personal statement essay is a very powerful component of any medical school applicant's application package. In addition to college grades and MCAT test scores, the medical school personal statement helps admissions committees determine who to admit to their medical program.
The tiebreaker
While many medical students ignore the personal statement to their detriment, they rely mostly on their numerical qualifications. However, in cases where there is a tie between two applicants that fall within the same general range, the person who took more effort in creating a convincing personal statement is more likely to get admitted than the person who just crammed together an essay and did not really put much effort into it.
Personal statement as a window to your personality
Why is the personal statement for medical school so important? Think of it as a "paper interview," said Bopo Menweli, media relations officer for samplemedicalschoolpersonalstatements.com, the internet's leading free resource for medical school personal statement examples, writing guides and essay writing tips. "This essay is your opportunity to let your personality, your personal background, hopes, aspirations and other intangibles shine through," added Menweli.
Indeed, the essay is the applicant's chance to emphasize the elements of their background that suits them well to a future practice of medicine. This essay is not your resume in long form. It is more than that. It is not a mere laundry list of past accomplishments, achievements and awards. The essay is not a list. It should not be mistaken for such a list. It is a prospect to make a personal statement, meaning a personal connection. According to Menweli, "Instead of focusing on a list of organizations that you joined, we help you to focus on what personal attributes those experiences engaged and what those experiences taught you." We are a product of our experiences and our experiences shape our personal view of the world. Personal statement is a peek into your personal view. "It is an intimate look into what makes you tick and what makes you a person. Admissions committees need to know this to see if you would make a fine doctor and to see if you have the drive, ambition and empathy, sympathy, compassion and other intangibles that are needed to be a successful and effective healer," said Menweli.
