6 Steps to Write the Perfect Med School Personal Statement
We take a comprehensive, step-by-step look at how to write a medical school personal statement. Learn how to get started, everything you need to include, and the #1 mistake students make when writing this essential essay.
A personal statement is an opportunity to tell your story. The essay question asks: Why do you want to go to medical school? But this seemingly simple question is anything but. Admissions committees want to get a sense of who you are, where you come from, what drives you, and if you have what it takes to succeed in medical school.
So, how do you accomplish all this while not boring admissions committee members with cliches they’ve heard over and over again? Follow our 6 steps.

Me too
What made me want to be a doctor was the fact that I was constantly in the hospital growing up due to my mom having munchausen by proxy and it's so hard to explain all the stuff that happened without sounding psychotic
Honestly I had never thought about making an outline! Great idea
Wonderful video for future doctors ❤🎉
Can you do one for secondaries?
I'm from Belarus. Hello everyone!
I don't have a crazily compelling story in my life. Maybe like it gives meaning to my life. But what kind of things can be used as examples?

Crazy story doesn't require but rather your personal experiences in medicine! Maybe you can write a personal intellectual medicine essay! Its unique tho! The application should be - be yourself+market yourself in medical school applications.
