Medical School Personal Statement Secrets Leaked

Key secrets to writing a compelling medical school personal statement are often overlooked by medical school applicants. These secrets are not tightly guarded mysteries. In fact, they are open secrets.

Bellevue, CA (prHWY.com) September 20, 2011 - (Acton, CA, 09/14/11) Given the tight job market in the United States, more and more people are looking to the medical profession and medical industry as a way of promoting their employment chances. It also protects themselves from the ravages of the soft economy as jobless figures remain stagnant and the healthcare industry is attracting an increasing number of people. One core segment of this growing trend of healthcare industry professionals are applicants to medical school. Also another attraction of medical school is since it takes several years of both medical schooling and residency, many applicants are looking at it as a way to shield themselves from possibly many years of a harsh economy. The hope is once they finish medical school, the economy has fully recovered and their chances of employment have improved along with the economy.


Applying for medical school

Regardless of motivations, medical school admission spots can get competitive and many medical school applicants are turning to the personal statement as a way of getting a competitive advantage. However, most applicants use the essay the wrong way.

"On one hand, you have applicants who use the essay as a license for personal self-discovery and literary exposition. On the other hand, you have applicants who just look at the essay portion of their application package as an afterthought. They rely almost blindly on their MCAT and undergrad grades. Both extreme approaches have their own perils." This is according to Ritah Henrickson, media relations officer for personalstatementformedicalschool.com, the internet's leading provider of free medical school personal statement samples, writing guides and other free admissions resources.

Henrickson is quoted as saying that the most common temptation is to just write out your biography and then edit down your essay. Another approach is to just highlight your grades and your MCAT score and other writing mistakes along those lines. There are many ways to write a medical school personal statement essay and the large majority of those differing methods lead to failure. "The truth is, there are certain open secrets for writing a compelling personal statement for medical school," said Henrickson.

According to Henrickson, "These may seem like common sense, but when put together with your personal biographic details and your grades and MCAT score, it can lead to some dramatic results." The secrets relate to essay formatting, essay organization and key tips to writing out key portions of your personal statement.
