Failing to secure a place in medical school at 18 created a seed of uncertainty and self-doubt in my mind. It made me question my childhood dream and I asked myself, why do I want to study medicine?

My fascination with the innermost workings of the human body began at the age of twelve when my excellent, if somewhat eccentric, science teacher dissected a pig's heart in front of the class.

personal statement for nursing by guest at 22:04:32 02/04/2006
I sent a nursing application form in back in the year 2004.The course I wanted to do was adult nursing. After 6 months i recieved a letter stating that i was unsuccessful. Later i found out that my personal statement had let me down. Since then i have worked more on my academic skills and now feel more confident to try again, but it is this personal statement which is holding me back. Not sure how to start it are what to put. I am a mature student and have worked in the caring sector over the last seven years, and five of those have been in the local hospital.

These statements and the feedback comments have certainly help me to see the sort of things I should include in my UCAS application next year. I do agree with whoever made the comment about constructive critism though, ripping people for their efforts doesn't acheive anything.

Comment by guest at 18/07/2008 23:47:08
Sooo...I have a list of universities That I would like to go to but instead of the four required...I have 8...
Any help would really come in handy (you can switch places or even add more if you thinks it is appropriate for my situation). I'm portuguese so a college known for accepting a large number of EU students would be nice:
1º-Univ. Cambridge/Oxford (Choose one);
2º-(ok, this is the part where you can switch with the ones below ore even add some) UCL/Imperial College;
3º-Univ. Edimburgh/Bristol;
4º-Univ. Manchester/nottingham.
The 2º, 3º, 4º don't really matter what position they are in.
Thank you.

Interesting. by guest at 30/01/2009 11:10:30
There is a lot of garbage on the internet so I am never sure how much attention I should pay to it. However these personal statements are insightful. I hope to apply to Medicine once I have finished my first degree. Thanks for putting them up.
Comment by guest at 07/09/2009 21:32:07
one hint to everybody. If applying to medicine then reading other people's personal statements is probably not the best way forward, as you will probably end up mimicking someone else's work. My advice: Read "Passing the UK clinical aptitude test and BMAT" the book is about the tests, but also has a large section on what to include and what not to include. Clichés (for instance "I've known for as long as I can remember that I wanted to be a doctor") will not be much appreciated. think for yourselves and be honest! Good luck!

Pharmacology? by guest at 01/09/2010 16:42:51
I have an immense interest in the making of medicine and effects of drugs on the mind/body. But I haven't really done anything in the field. At all, other than look up what it was and do minor research that kind of propelled me to know that it Is what I want to do. Any ideas on how to make my life sound less like a bore of suburban well-off caucasian kid who does decent in school??
nmdem@comcast.net
Thanks!
Comment by guest at 02/09/2010 15:17:25
This is my third time applying to Medicine and now a prospective Medical graduate. My advise to other students on this website would be: read as many statements as you want from here, but they will not help you get into Medical school. Some may seem better than others but none are as good as what the medical boards are actually looking for. If you are really determined to become a doctor;start researching better and stop using free online statements. Invest in your future and purchas a proper book that tells you how to write a real medical statement, for about 12 pounds. You can get them anywhere on online book shops. Good luck.
