Personal Statement

Please adhere to the character limit (including spaces) established by your health professional school application service. Your essay should address why you want to become a practitioner in that field. You may wish to include experiences, motivations, and/or challenges that distinguish you from other applicants. This is also the place to explain any significant fluctuations in your academic record. For help in creating an effective personal statement see the "Tips for Writing A Personal Statement" included in the application (see above) or contact Career Exploration and Development for assistance.

The personal statement you present for review should be a polished, final draft. You may receive feedback regarding content and structure, but you should provide a statement that includes well-developed and structured sentences and has already been checked for spelling and grammar.
