Last year, over 48,000 people applied to U.S. medical schools. Only 17,000 got in. With such fierce competition, how can you set yourself apart from the masses and make your application the best it can be?

As Essays That Worked for Medical Schools demonstrates, there is no such thing as the perfect personal statement. As your one chance to highlight the personal qualities and achievements that your grades and MCAT scores do not reveal, the essay can cover a wide range of interesting topics.

If there is any similarity in the essays in this book, it is that they’re written from the heart. One applicant writes about his work as a counselor for mentally ill adults and teens. Another tells about the life-changing experience of delivering supplies to a leprosy village in West Africa. And a third talks about time spent volunteering at a local senior center.

With pithy advice from admissions officers and experts, this book clearly shows that you can turn almost any topic into an effective, successful essay for your medical school application. Use it to inspire your creativity.
