Are any of you who have gotten into vet school this previous year interested in sharing your personal statements? I am a pretty decent writer, but I would like to beef up my statement for this year's cycle, and would like some others to see how others are talking about themselves. My email address is stagncd@auburn.edu if anyone would like to share. Thanks!! Good luck with your 1st year.

I have just sent you mine. Good luck. I had to rewrite it like six times. Make sure you have as many people as possible read it. Preferably someone with a writing background. I got into two schools with it. Good luck!

I PM'ed my statement from last app cycle to you. If anyone else is interested, I dont mind sharing, just let me know.

Best of luck! and be prepared to write, and re-write, and re-write some more ;)

I would definitely be interested PAThbrd, and if there is anyone else that wouldn't mind sharing I would be so appreciative. I have a rough draft done, but I am still feeling a little lost on how to nail it.

I'm just getting ready to send my application off, well, I was done with the WHOLE application process like 2 months ago but the essay part, holy moly, has been kickin my butt! I would love to see someone else's essay. Mine is mostly done but jeez its so hard to talk about yourself. I end up sounding so one dimensional:
"I like animals. I am smart. I am good student. I am try hard. I am friendly." lol.
Ok the essay isn't quite that bad, but it's not much better either! I'd really appreciate some help =)

I'd be willing to send my essays from last year but I don't have the computer anymore and it was the greatest feeling to send my printed VMCAS application through the paper shredder the other day :-) Sorry no help but good luck everyone!

Hiya, if you or anyone else doesn't mind it would be fantastic to have some personal statments to read for advice etc.
I've written a first draft but it's too long and not worded very well so i definitely need help!
My email address is shine_bluesky@hotmail.com if you want to share.
Thanks a bundle in advance!

Thank you so much, really useful!
Just wondering, I'm english and we have a 4000 character limit (including spaces); but the PS i just got its 6,250. Do you Americans not have a word limit or just a longer one?
:)

I think the character limit is 6,250 on VMCAS and I was just at that (I even had to find some shorter synonyms for some words and take out adjectives to fit it ;))

I'd like to read others as well, if you wouldn't mind sharing. Deadlines are coming upon us fast, and I'm worried! :scared: Would be nice to see that I have something along the lines of other people who got accepted :)

I would also be interested in any statements, it would be very helpful etiush@gmail.com or PM :) Best of Luck

If anyone could send me a copy as well, I would greatly appreciate the help towards fine tuning my statement. Like everyone else, rough draft is finished and I am just looking for that 'finished' feeling I should get after reading it but its not there yet. Thanks!
