Preparing Your Personal Statement/Essay
The personal statement or essay is an important part of the application to a health professions school. Many schools provide no guidance in regards to what is appropriate for inclusion in the statement. Other schools ask you to respond to a question or series of questions. Be sure to read the instructions carefully when you prepare your application. In addition, a staff member in UT’s Writing Center is available to provide feedback on your rough draft.
Numerous websites are available to assist you along the way.
