Hey guys I was basically wondering if there are any sites that you guys have found that have good personal statement examples. I'm having the hardest time starting this thing.

I thought this one was really good! But I wouldn't look at too many samples. A lot of them are cookie cutter essays.

**Just google the last half of the link lol.

I was armed with an unscathed transcript, and several awards for performing such tasks. I remember opening the Occupational Outlook Handbook, and never reading past Dentist. Upon literally seeing the word everything had immediately clicked. Perhaps a grander tale could be to my benefit, but I believe my passion has shown through sufficiently.

While balancing a course load and research position, I literally sensed drive exceeding my skin.

The drive I hold within is unextinguishable. I literally feel the emotion running throughout my body. It is my force, my gift, and my key to excellence.

Teach me how to become a valued dentist. Let me absorb. Let me flourish. Let me inspire.

In an effort to prevent this post from being misconstrued as "hating", I'm truly happy this student gained admission. It's a serious accomplishment and nothing I would take from anyone.

But, that statement...I mean, I know it's not in my voice (as I wasn't the author)...but I couldn't in good faith submit something like that and expect to make a positive impact on my chances. It just comes across as...hokey.

I agree, especially the use of "literally" lol

I think it helps... when you have a 3.93 GPA.
