One of my greatest joys the past several years has been assisting young people pursue their dream of professional school. This is the time of year when college juniors who aspire to Veterinary College, Medical College and Dental College face the prospect of writing a personal statement (also called the personal comments essay). This is a critical part of their application. Most often, they are science majors not English majors, so the prospect of writing is not their first love.
While this is a vital portion of the application, it is even more a chance to rise above other applicants with a thoughtful and moving essay. So, I want young people to know of my guides to drafting these documents. I can also review essays prior to submission. Here are links to the websites. These guides are also available at Amazon, Apple Ibooks and Barnes & Noble.
