Quick Tip: Be Too Proud to Beg


In writing their personal statements, some candidates end their essays

won't need to make a second person appeal because your accomplishments
will make your case for you.

argue the case that you will be an excellent resident? With examples!
Keeping that idea in mind will help you show – not tell.
