The purpose of this guide is to help you through the process of developing a Personal Statement (AMCAS essay) as part of the application to Medical School. It is divided into four parts: Understanding the purpose of a Personal Statement as part of the application to Medical School; Gathering together the raw materials of your essay; Determining which parts to amplify; and Organizing the building blocks into a good first draft. This guide is different; other guides will tell you what to do; or what not to do; and some give you examples (good or bad) of other personal statements. Still others guide you through the process. Here, I seek to do it all!
