Personal Statement

Medical School Personal Statement Tutoring Overview:

If there’s one thing we can all appreciate, it’s that we all have different strengths. Helping you get into medical school or dental school is one of ours, and we start with our personal statement tutoring service. Each unique 1-to-1 session with one of our personal statement tutors is tailored to you and allows us to identify and develop any of your weak spots. One of our senior reviewers will guide you through each tricky step and help you avoid common pitfalls while using their experience and knowledge to highlight your achievements effectively. Each session is at least one hour and more sessions can be booked until you’re completely satisfied.

One of our senior reviewers will guide you through each tricky step and help you avoid common pitfalls while using their experience and knowledge to highlight your achievements effectively.

Do you need tutoring? Well, we recommend most students start with our Personal Statement Review Service: send us a draft and we comment and edit the draft line by line. For some, that’s enough. If we feel the personal statement has not improved enough after having already our detailed review, we recommend 1-to-1 tutoring for additional support. For some students, it’s difficult just to get the ball rolling. There are many things to consider, including appropriate content, structure, and how to connect your experiences in a relevant way to your medical school or dental school application. In a “getting started” tutoring session, you can expect a full content brainstorming session tailored to the schools of your choice and their marking scheme. We plan a strong structure around your content and help you get started – giving advice about what stories to share and how to reflect on them to impress the examiners and score maximum points.

What to expect from Medical School Personal Statement Tutoring:

• One-to-one tutoring sessions in person or online with our senior reviewers with flexible hours - available every day, morning or evening
• Tailored tutoring session, focusing on areas you want to improve
• Feedback based on the University criteria and marking scheme of your choice
• Brainstorming session about how to begin your personal statement
• Learn how to structure your points effectively
• Review of structure, content and relevance to the fields or medicine or dentistry

Dental School Personal Statement Review

Your personal statement for dental school is complete! Now, find out if it will stand up to professional scrutiny with the MSAG’s Personal Statement Review service.

Each personal statement, by definition, is unique. When our highly trained team of doctors and medical students reviews your personal statement, we put ourselves in the shoes of a dental school examiner. Line-by-line, we tell you if your words are clear and how they are being interpreted. For example, you might be lacking context and missing relevant details. Or, it’s possible you included too many details, eating up precious space. Clarity is key, and we’ll tell you exactly what you need to improve to present yourself as a strong candidate. This includes tying in the relevance of your story with your motivation to become a dentist. 

Your statement is then marked twice: once with our marking scheme, perfected and refined over years - and then a second time, with the marking scheme of the dental school of your choice. Our team’s knowledge of each individual school’s admissions criteria helps to tailor your statement towards the target school of your choice.
