hello, i am currently working on my personal statement for post bacc programs and my question is how do i tie in the i want to be a doctor with how the program will help with medical school.... okay i have the opening of the statement addressing the reason why i chose medicine, then i address why my grades were low and how i rediscovered my passion..... and the final pargraph addresses why i wan to be in the post baccc program which is so short compared the rest of my statement.. i mean all i have come up with so far is the fact that the post bacc will prepare me for med school(and i said that in one line?) seems weird to me. are any of u guys experiencing the same if so how are u dealing with that? Thanks

I think what you wrote sounds good. Thats what I did in my personal statement for post bac...I just wrote about myself and what Ive accomplished, and why I love medicine, and then towards the end I explained what being in the program would do for me...Doesnt have to be long, they get the point.
