The Critical Importance of the Personal Statement
Fewer than 7% of applicants are accepted to America's top medical schools, and the competition only increases with students' subsequent applications to residency programs. With so many more applicants than acceptances, many students spend years applying and re-applying, unable to stand out from the crowd enough to launch their careers in medicine.
In order to overcome the odds, you will need to present a cohesive and compelling story that convinces the admissions committee that you understand their program and demonstrates how you will add value to their community. Your MCAT score and GPA will go a long way toward determining your suitability for top medical schools and residency programs, but only your personal statement can answer the three critical questions that admissions committees ask:
Why you?
Why medicine (or Why this residency program) ?
Why now?
