Your Personal Statement: Emphasize past experiences

Emphasize past experiences. Focus on what you've done more than on what you want to do. So many of our clients think their essays should exclusively be about their fantasy future. But this isn't a magic carpet ride. Your rug must be on the ground. What you have accomplished and learned is the only proof that you are committed to the study and practice of medicine. (We use that phrase a lot because you should be reinforcing this throughout your application.)
