I'm assuming you're still in school, so they should be providing you with lessons on how to write your Personal Statement.
I think in mine I just mentioned what I like doing, the things I want to learn and where I expect to end up when I've finished my degree. I think the selectors are far more likely to choose you if you seem like the kind of person who really wants it.
Extra-curricular activities and the lessons you've learned through partaking in them are good filler too. EG. My simming and lifesaving course has helped me learn to be cool under pressure, first aid blah blah blah - I'm pretty sure you can think of something :P
I'm not sure what a medicinal institution would look for in an applicant, but you need to focus on why you would be good for the course, and how it's your dream etc! [ Master_Betty's advice column | Ask Master_Betty A Question ]
