Medical Residency Admissions Consulting & Editing

Residency application tip: Don’t turn your residency essay into a rehashing of your CV. Your CV is where you should list your accomplishments blow-by-blow; your essay, on the other hand, is where you should focus on insights into your experiences and how they influenced your residency goals – the story of where you are going given where you have been.

Hey,

I am trying to match into one of the more competitive specialties (Derm) on the East Coast - Boston or NYC. I've done my research on SDN and am still kind of confused on the role the PS plays. Some say it does not matter at all while others say it could be the ticket into your residency of choice - do you have any comment about that?

Thanks for offering your product in the test prep week!

Thanks for your question! Different programs attach different weight to the personal statement-- but in especially competitive specialties and programs in particular, it's very important. Think of it as your way to distinguish yourself from all the other strong candidates, and to introduce yourself (in a more human way, beyond how you look on paper) to the committee. In addition, residency programs want to know that you have strong communication skills-- and the personal statement is one place to show them that you have that.
Good luck with everything, and let us know if you have any more questions!
