Hey Pre-pharm/pharm people,
My friend is in the process of applying to pharmacy schools and it would really help to see an example of your personal statement just to get a feel for what a successful applicant's personal statement is like. if you feel comfortable please PM it to me. I would be forever grateful!! She just wants to read it, will not use it for her own purposes!
Thanks

didn't you know that you can "bs" and get accepted, i know people who've done it and got accepted, and they tend to be greedy with it, and what else? go figure!

I think that the nickname says it all. You are daydreaming because most people are not going to hand over something that took days (possibly months) to perfect. If you want help, you can certainly ask, but the likelihood of getting someone to give you their personal statement is slim to none. Maybe try some other method that would be more beneficial to get you the help you desire with your personal statement.

Y are you asking for your "friend". If they want an example so bad, they should be asking! Do you honestly think that people will easily give up their piece of art? Mine took forever for me to write. NO WAY will I let some stranger read it so they can steal my skills. Sorry....... Try the internet!

Your friend can copy mine; I don't care.

It starts out: Right after I won my ninth Nobel Prize, (this time for saving the puppies and eradicating global warming) I decided to go to pharmacy school. I was about to apply, but the orphanage kept tugging at my heart. So I did good work there and copied a personal statement off the Internet to get into school.

If you've made it this far, here's some serious advice. Have them register on SDN and participate in the PS review process via the sticky at the top of this page.

Would you like my Social Security # on the side? OR is the personal statement just it for you tonight?

Its difficult to peg which one I get more - The honorable XXXX of the South African ministry has chosen me as his American financial partner. The problem is, his millions is stuck in foreign accounts - and all he needs is my account to move his interests here...

Or...

Hi, my name is xxx and I have been struggling with my PS - is there anyway you could provide me with an example of a REALLY good one???

Look - heart to heart here... - PS are PERSONAL = they really want to hear what you are about. This stuff isn't rocket science - normal people are writing theirs and getting accepted all the time, and you can too. Sit down, buckle up - and rip it out in one session. Have it torn apart several times by people who you trust and can write well - then submit it. Thats it - Its just an essay, don't make it more than it is...
