I'm applying next cycle, but writing a personal statement now to submit as an assignment in a course I am currently taking in undergrad. My intro focuses on one moment that initiated my interest in medicine, and then I was going to choose three most memorable experiences (pretty much two extracurricular activities and a study abroad experience) to highlight aspects that helped me further develop my interest and skills. Each of these paragraphs will address "why medicine" in the specific context of the activity. The conclusion will tie all of my experiences together and directly answer why medicine.
1) I have this organized chronologically right now, but is it better to arrange the paragraphs in order of most importance? (i.e. most inspiring activity first and so forth)
2) Should I include what skills I gained from the experiences (like communication/problem-solving/etc) to highlight what I bring to the table, even though this could be described in my application?
3) My intro highlights an experience when I was ill as a child. Should I continually bring this idea back throughout my paper, or is it better to bring this back in the conclusion when I am tying everything together?
