I am applying to optometry schools, and I would like to know if anyone has access to, or knows a website where I can view sample essays? 😕 I do not know how to start these things at all, or what kind of theme to aim for. I am in deparate need of help!🙁 This is all I need to complete my applications! 🙄

I just googled "personal statement examples" and found a bunch of sites that showed example essays. If you're still in undergrad the pre-professional office at your school may also be able to give you some direction. Good luck! I HATED the personal statement part!

Be ORIGINAL. Avoid clichés. Make yourself stand out amongst the thousands of other applicants.

I've only applied to 3 schools but my essay ?s were pretty straightforward. They tell you what to write about but YES, DO MAKE YOURSELF STAND OUT.
