In this episode of PS or BS, Dr. Christine Crispen, former UC Irvine Director of Admissions and expert premed advisor, critiques a personal statement with all the right components, but lacking clarity and self-reflection. While the essay does have significant activities like shadowing, research, and athletics, it gets lost by sharing too many anecdotes without bringing them back to why the student wants to be a doctor.
Dr. Crispen emphasizes the importance of focusing on your story, preventing fuzzy lead-ins, and focusing on honest reflections instead of resume-type completions.
Key Takeaway: Fewer stories, not necessarily. A few solid, well-reflected experiences are more powerful than a cluttered story with no reflection.
