>> Essays That Will Get You into Medical School
this is a good book that was helpful in giving me an idea of the type of information that should and should not go into writing a personal statement
>> good to start with
Good book to get you started on your essay but the sample essays are not by the avg med school applicants
>> Useful but not completely
This book has a lot of good advice but all the sample essays are from people who got accepted to Harvard Medical School I know most of us haven t volunteered in a 3rd world country or published research papers or saved someone s life so it would have been nice to read some essays from a non superhero applicant Also a little variety as to what schools they were accepted to would have been nice They were all Harvard and other Ivy League schools It also sounds like the authors consider those to be the top schools but they may or may not be depending on whether you re talking about research or primary care Bottom line needs more variety of example essays But overall it was a pretty useful guide
