Rating: 5 / 5
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.
Rating: 4 / 5
Basically, this book tells you to write about yourself. It shows some good ways to transition into the varying aspects of the essay. But, the best thing about it is that it features a background summary of each applicant. It’s easy to find the ones that are most similar to you. But again, it only helps for ideas.

Good book to get you started on your essay, but the sample essays are not by the avg med school applicants
Rating: 4 / 5
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.
