Since medical and dental schools use a common application process, figuring out how to structure your personal statement and what content to include can be tricky. You only get one chance to impress all of the schools to which you will apply. Most applicants will have similar credentials and the statement is one of the only places you get to put a personal touch on your application. At this writing retreat, you'll learn some basic do's and don'ts for writing a strong personal statement that will make you stand out among your peers. You'll also learn tips for brainstorming, drafting, and revising.
The retreat will begin with an hour-long presentation on writing strong personal statements for medical/dental programs. Attendees will then set S.M.A.R.T. (specific, measurable, achievable, realistic, and time-based) goals for the day. The remainder of the time will be dedicated to writing in a communal setting. Time will be broken up into "poms" (short for "pomodoro") so that writers get brief breaks throughout the day. Professional and graduate writing consultants will facilitate the retreat and will be available to answer questions and consult with writers one-on-one in break-out rooms as needed.
Come to this retreat at any stage in your drafting process and leave with significant progress made!
