I'm currently applying to a guaranteed admission program at my school. The catch is they only give us 250 words for our personal statements. I also have a 250 word "essay" on what makes me unique.
I'm going to talk about my job as an anesthesia tech for the unique statement because I get to view many aspects of medicine.
However, I'm struggling to figure out what I want to say in my personal statement. There is not one golden sentence that explains why I want to be a physician and I don't feel like I can cover the question in 250 words.
I grew up a military child and have worked in EMS, so I want to talk about my desire to work in the military. Yet I know many students have worked in EMS and I don't want to sound generic.
Any tips?
Also, do medical schools look down on students who are choosing the military path?
