(Impact of your surroundings, cultures, society, diversity or challenges overcome) While writing a personal statement, only facts can be taken from a resume, but the story around them is totally different!§Nobody expects it to be a literary masterpiece. §They only expect you to emphasize your good qualities, be honest about your accomplishments, and be yourself §Mention the skills and abilities you have which are valued by your program and institute §Relevant experience (a balance of medical and personal examples), coursework, research activity §Personal goals and objectives (long term commitments). §Qualities you are seeking or desire in a program/institute §Talk about your uniqueness + personal interests + achievements + life experiences. §However, there is no need to reiterate everything that is in your curriculum vitae1. Write clearly. Use simple rather than long and involved sentences. Vary your sentence length. 2. Length: One or one and a half (double spaced) typewritten pages, short, well-developed paragraphs (3 to 6 paragraphs). 3. Skills and abilities you have which are valued by your specialty. 4. Avoid overuse of "I" statements. You should seldom, if ever, start your sentences with "I". 5. Save your acting ability for the interview. Write to be understood not to impress. 6. End with a positive, "upbeat" statement. 7. Have someone critique your personal statement for grammar, spelling, and composition (Yes, you will write it more than once!) 8. Revise and rewrite. Sharpen your skills; improvement is always possible.
