How to actually make a personal statement with your personal statement!

Your PTCAS essay should make you stand out from the crowd! But what if you think you aren’t a strong writer, or are struggling to know what is unique or special about yourself? I have good news! Anyone can learn how to write their application essays in a way that makes them rise above the competition, you just have to know what to do!

Here are some of the key ingredients we help our customers put together to make sure their personal statement helps them make a personal statement.

Hook your reader early. If your essay does not intrigue your reader within the first 2-3 sentences…we have a problem because the rest of your essay may not even get read and it definitely is not going to be remembered. You hook your reader early by using stories filled with imagery, emotion, and anticipation. Once you have them hooked…you are not off the hook because the rest of your essay has to continue to deliver as well! All killer no filler.

Anchor your strengths to stories. The human brain is hardwired to remember stories. This is one reason why Jesus Christ used parables to teach principles. They helped people to remember them, and we want admissions committees to remember you! I tell our customers that if their reader remembers 2-3 key details from their essay then they did their job! Using stories that are filled with imagery, emotion, and anticipation while showcasing your greatest strengths as an applicant is the best way to show how awesome you are as an applicant without sounding conceited. Let your stories do the heavy lifting for you!

Show me, don’t tell me. So many of our clients come to us with our initial draft and there is very little substance about why a DPT program should choose them over another applicant. You must provide evidence as to why a DPT program should choose you over others by providing them with specific examples of how you demonstrate individuals strengths and attributes instead of just talking about how much you want to be a PT or about your pre-PT journey. Again let your stories, and the strengths they convey, do the heavy lifting for you. As the saying goes…actions speak louder than words!

Be a victor not a victim. We do not tolerate our customers making themselves out to be a victim in their PTCAS essay. Some people think that if they can make others pity them they will get accepted into PT school. Regardless of your life circumstances, show how you adapt and overcome the challenges placed in front of you. Don’t make excuses, create solutions. Keep your essay upbeat, positive and optimistic. Show DPT programs how much you are a victor and not a victim!
