I was doing a google search to look at samples. There are a good load of them, but I am guessing maybe some of them are not as good as they really should be. Does anyone know some that are supposed to be known for being pretty good examples? Im just trying to get some ideas because finding a unifying theme for me has been so difficult. Thanks in advance.
 
I searched on amazon and bought a book for ~$10 about personal statements. It was pretty good.
 
I used a book called 'Essays that will get you into med school.' They have a lot of great sample essays.
 
A few MDApps profiles include their personal statements. Whether or not you would consider them "good" is up for debate I suppose, but they're out there.

True. I don't even know if mine is any good.

The positive of having them on the MDApps is you can see how many interviews the person got and to where. Try to gauge if it was a good one from that while also using your own common sense.
