I was struggling to write my personal statement for my Medical School Application. This book was very helpful in not just giving examples of essays, it also showed the correct writing style and the philosophy that people need to use to write the essay. Overall, I highly recommend this book for all people that are thinking of applying to Medical School and all the people that are struggling with their writing.

I had a last minute request to critique a med student applicant personal statement and application, and told him he needed to rewrite the whole thing essentially. 'Bought this book, and found it to be a life-saver, with clear instructions for what to do, not do to, and specifics on all aspects of essay - with examples, commentary on essays and much more.

Must be taken with a grain of salt. Most of these essays are beyond what the ordinary student will ever write about. If, however, you have no clue where to begin and needs helpful exercises to start writing this book is perfect for you.

This is a great read for students who are just beginning their essays, or for those who already have some ideas about how to start. I suggest it for all medical school personal statement writers.

Skip this...and trust your medical school advisor. You can get most of this information on the internet and the essays are a bit weak, tbh.

Essays were not helpful because they all came from ivy colleges, not much diversity in that regard. No essay really stood out and the book's analysis of the essays were not well done at all. Save your money and get another book.

Something is wrong with either the page sequence or editing. Note at the end of page 15 (images attached) that the sentence is yet to be completed. Page 16 nor 17 nor the rest of the chaptet has any sign of the rest of the sentence.
