Writing Your Medical School Personal Statement – Defeating Writer’s Block

August 11, 2012 by Don Osborne Leave a Comment

Your personal statement can be the most persuasive component of your medical school application, but writer’s block might be holding you back from your very best essay.  A powerful answer to the question may mean the difference between your acceptance and that of another prospective student with a better personal statement.

Crafting a compelling written response to “Why do you want to be a doctor?” can be problematic if you’re not sure how to express your ideas on paper. Writer’s block is knowing what you want to say in your mind, yet being unable to express it in words. It is a problem that afflicts not only those who are writing essays for inclusion into school, but even professional writers with years of experience. When writer’s block hits, your progress comes to a screeching halt and frustration sets in.

Writer’s block can be a tremendous problem for you when you’re writing your personal statement. You might think, “I’m not a writer! I want to be a doctor, not an essayist! I have plenty of ideas in my head, but I don’t know what to do with them. Everything I put down on paper stinks.”

The best way to beat writer’s block is to use a medical school personal statement sample as your guide. Samples allow you to see how other students articulated their own ideas, and sample personal statements written by students that were accepted to medical school will give you some valuable insight into the kind of essay that medical school selection committees are interested in seeing.

It is very reassuring to see that premeds just like you were able to put their ideas into words, and even though the essay might not get picked up by The New Yorker or Esquire, it was persuasive to medical school admissions committees. Get our medical school personal statement samples right now and see how real premeds conquered writer’s block, and got accepted to med school.

Write a personal statement that gives you the edge!

A strong personal statement is the finishing touch that will transform your medical school application ordinary to extraordinary. Learn how to write an essay that works.
