Does anyone have the exact prompt that is given for the personal statement? I'll be applying to schools next year, and want to start making a list of bullet points about what I can write.

See below for the personal statement prompt from VMCAS. If I were you I'd go create a VMCAS account and maybe an account for any schools you plan on applying to that don't use VMCAS and look over the application so you know what it looks like and what kind of information you'll need for when the time comes that you do apply. You don't have to submit it, but at least if you go take a look you'll know what you're getting yourself into. 🙂 I made mine the year before I applied.
