From working with you to brainstorm an outline to reading your draft, Jason Lewis is happy to help you with your personal statement. Plan 30 minutes for an appointment. Call (5-8051) or email him to set up a time.
We encourage you to read examples for specialties in addition to your own. There are many approaches to writing a statement, so find your favorite (but write a good one, so we can include it--without identifiers, of course--on this page.)
