But when faced with the personal narrative prompt "write a brief statement expressing your motivation or desire to become a physician assistant.", where do you even begin? And how do you carry that momentum forward into a compelling story that will grant you the invitation for an interview?
This book helped me drastically in what was expected in a PA narrative. It covers the things you should do and the mistakes you should avoid. Before reading this book, I felt quite confident in my personal statement. Upon finishing the 90 pages, I realized my essay was great, but not for PA school. I had made several mistakes mentioned in this book, such as focusing too much on certain experiences, and writing excessively about them, instead of focusing on what I have to offer schools.
Although this is the only book that I have purchased on writing a personal statement, I would not hesitate to recommend this for others to read.
This book, along with their paid essay review service (from thepalife.com), gave me an excellent opportunity to greatly improve my essay from what it originally had been. This book is definitely recommended to those who are needing to write a PA personal statement (for returning or new applicants).
Great examples and I liked the way used those example to demonstrate a cohesive follow to a personal statement!
