The personal statement is your opportunity to define yourself amongst the hundreds of other applications the admission committees look at. It is your opportunity to tell them who you are and why you will be an exceptional student, a valuable colleague, and benefit to the field of veterinary medicine.

In this blog post, I describe the process of how I wrote my personal statement with examples (at the end of the blog post) of its progression from brainstorming to first draft to final draft. Take a look at them for general inspiration, length, things to include, stylistic ideas, etcetera.
NOTE: Not only is it illegal to plagiarize my essay, plagiarism also reveals extremely poor ethics, lack of your writing skills, and lack of veterinary/animal background, all of which will make you a horrible veterinarian.
