Medicine Personal Statement

Where To Start

Did you know that acceptance rates on medical courses are tremendously low?

To get a coveted slot, you need to make sure your submission stands out amidst the intense competition. Fortunately, you have complete control over a critical facet of the application process: the personal statement.

As a qualified doctor, dentist, pharmacist, or nurse, you will have ultimate responsibility for the community in your care. The demands of this job are like no other – writing on paper the reasons of studying at medical school may be the hardest challenge you have faced yet.

Well aware that the profession cannot tolerate mistakes, medical admissions officers will scrutinise your personal statement for evidence of dedication, hard work, strength of mind, aptitude, and veracity. Above all, you must demonstrate that you have the needed enthusiasm to improve the lives of your patients.

At Get Into Uni our Ivy league admission consultants can guide you through this most important project of your life so we help you make your overall first impression powerful. Your personal statement is your one chance to market yourself effectively. Medical admission officers receive personal statements that are poorly structured and do not convey the reasons why the student wishes to study medicine. This is your chance to stand out and submit a powerful first impression.

We understand medical school admissions officers, we listen to them, we talk to them, and we keep our eyes and ears open - so that we can tell you what they want. This writing guide has been created to help you objectively find the best way to present yourself. One important thing to remember is that your medicine personal statement must be a "selling document," a kind of prospectus in which your virtues are set out, together with supporting details.
