Hello!
I am in the midst of writing my personal statement for the upcoming cycle. I have gotten various advice from different people regarding how to go about in writing it. Some told me to be creative and unique, without listing out all your accomplishments since that is what the other parts of the application is for. Others told me to list out all of my achievements and how they affected me as an individual.
The main purpose, of course, is explaining why I want to become a dentist, but I am not sure what the best way to go about writing it. Should I take a more creative route on expressing my goals in becoming a dentist, or go about listing my accomplishments as a student? I know there is a character limitation, so it's also a challenge keeping the PS concise and clear.
Any advice will be appreciated! Thanks!
