The Premed Playbook

How to craft a personal statement that secures interviews and admissions: "Reliable advice . . . a gift to premeds."—Sujay Kansagra, MD, author of The Medical School Manual

 

The Premed Playbook: Guide to the Medical School Personal Statement shows students how to effectively craft their stories for medical school admission committees. It's not only a collection of essays from students who got into top schools, but a showcase of essays that started badly and were honed to tell great stories. 


 


Ryan Gray, MD shares the stories of students who seemed unlikely to have a shot but ultimately succeeded, in part because of the advice laid out in The Premed Playbook. They had to fight their way into medical school—and told a great story to do it. The drafts-in-progress, example essays, and insider tips included here can help you do the same.
