You’re slaving away at your personal statement, but can’t help wondering if anyone will read past the first line. A troubling thought, isn’t it? A great personal statement does matter. It’s what makes you different from the millions of other applicants hoping for attention from the Admissions Committee. After all, everyone is cranking out healthcare experience hours, fulfilling requisite coursework, volunteering, shadowing — you know, the usual. The question is where to start? With this book of 101 real life PA school admissions essays, we’ve given you the start. Running the gamut from mediocre to marvelous, we’ve added comments and detailed analysis based on information gathered from interviews with Admissions faculty from across the country and backed by years of professional writing experience. We show what works and what doesn’t. This book sheds light on the mystery of a great personal statement. Whether you want to avoid over-used themes and common grammar errors, or find inspiration for ways to tell your story, it’s all here.

4.0 out of 5 stars Offered a lot of examples
Reviewed in the United States on January 1, 2021
I like that this book had so many sample essays, but wished the author offered more critique of what the people writing those personal statement should do to make the writing better. The critique mostly focused on grammar mistakes and some commentary which is good.

Poorly put together book, pages fell out after first opening it. Tried to let it go, but as I kept reading more pages fell out! Essays are fine and may give some ideas.
