How do you make these two essays not overlap completely?
For me, I'm coming to medicine from my research; the MD is augmenting the PhD, and research is my primary focus. As such, the personal statement for "why medicine" says "Because it's what I want to do research in." The MD/PhD essay, then, is....virtually the same story.
I'm positive this has been discussed before, but I'm having trouble finding a previous thread. Any suggestions, tips, or tricks?
Cheers!
