What Your Personal Statement Reader is Thinking
Please take a look at part 2 in my series of expert guest blog entries on the Varsity Tutors blog. This piece (and the one prior) are a good reminder of what to target and what to avoid when writing your personal statement for medical school, residency, fellowship, and post-baccalaureate programs. Also, for “edutainment” take a look at my Guru on the Go® videos here (mid-page) on the same topic, called “Personal Statement Russian Roulette #1 and #2.”
MSPE Releases Today
Just a reminder that the ERAS Medical School Performance Evaluation (MSPE) release is scheduled for today – October 1st – instead of November 1st, as in years past. Likely this will lead to earlier interview invitations at many residency programs.
If you are interested in mock interview assistance, please consider contacting me early, so you are not caught with a surprisingly early interview without professionally-guided practice.
ERAS: September 1
Just a reminder that today is the day applicants can start applying to ACGME-accredited programs through the AAMC’s MyERAS website.
There are several advantages to an early application: 1) You look organized, a good quality for a future resident. 2) Admissions readers may have more time to review your application thoroughly. Later in the season, the volume can get overwhelming.
