Best Book Ever!!!

Not all essays are interesting but one stood out from the rest! (In my opinion) The essay by E.K. is the best!

41 actual, unedited personal statement essays

This book gave me a lot of confidence when writing my personal statement. You can find a lot of information online that gives you suggestions on how to format your essay and what to include within the essay. For example, "start your essay with an interesting antecdote" or "tell stories instead of listing accomplishments." However, it doesn't all "click" until you see examples of other personal statements. This book provides 41 actual, unedited medical essays that other students used in their applications. The essays are of varying skill levels- reading the bad ones lets you become more aware of what you want to avoid and the good ones give you ideas of how to make your essay more appealing. Great book :-)
