Personal Statement Review
A personal statement is a requirement for most professional schools. Professional schools are often looking for students to discuss their personal motivation to enter the desired field of study. It is never too early to think about your personal statement. Workshops are offered during the spring semester to assist students with the process of idea formulation and writing. We also have the Personal Statement workshop online in webinar format.
We are currently experiencing higher than usual demand for personal statement reviews. This is great and pre-health advisors are excited to review your personal statement! Between April 15 - August 15, please expect it to take a minimum of two weeks and up to three weeks to receive a response to your personal statement.

Students can expect feedback in two weeks regarding content and a general assessment of the quality of writing. During peak application season (spring and summer), the response time for comments may be longer than two weeks. Feedback will come via email unless otherwise notified.
