Most importantly, be sure that your personal statement is well written. Be clear and concise. Think of a medical school admissions person reading 30 such essays in one sitting, and you will realize how important it is that your statement be easy to read. Don't make that person struggle through sentences that are paragraphs long and difficult to follow. Have someone else read your essay. Ask your roommate, a friend, and/or your advisor if they think it sounds like you. The staff at the UAC can also look over your essay. We will not tell you what to say, nor will we correct your grammar, but we will tell you how we think medical schools might react.
写作方面,要清楚简洁。想想吧,一个人每天读30个这样的申请后他会有什么感觉。因此,不要把句子搞得太长或者复杂。
Writing Your Essay/Personal Statement for College 详细介绍ps。
by Dr. Marilyn Winkleby, Founder, SMYSP
What is the purpose of your college essay? (目的)
Many colleges will request that you write an essay or personal statement to accompany your application. Your essay is very important because it allows you an opportunity to be yourself and to let the colleges know who you are as an individual. Think about your life experiences and what has shaped you into the person you are today. Tell about aspects of your background and personal attributes that may not be apparent from your academic record. Since academic records and test scores of applicants are often very similar, your essay allows the college to gain insight into your unique achievements, character, and background. This allows the college to evaluate what they can offer you along with what you can contribute to their academic environment.
