Personal Statement Samples

Need another pair of eyes?

From working with you to brainstorm an outline to reading your draft, Margaret is happy to help you with your personal statement. Plan 15-30 minutes for an appointment. Call (5-8051) or email her 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.)
