hi guys,

i've just finished up my 1st draft (which is really crappy, just wanted to throw out some ideas) of my personal statement; will be applying this june...
basically my skeleton goes like this:
1) personal challenges i've faced (ie medical-related conditions affecting family members) that have made me want to pursue medicine
2) extra-curricular activities, and what I've learned from them that have helped me to decide that medicine is the right career for me
3) qualities that i possess that i tihnk would make me a good physician

can you guys give me some feedback on whether that sounds alright, or was i totally missing the point for the personal statement

thanks guys
happy holidays 🙂

PS...

basically why do you want to be a doctor? what events, experiences, activities influenced you in your decision to pursue medicine.

looks like you didnt miss the point.
