 PA personal statement allows you to present
your abilities, passions, experience,
achievements, ambitions in order to show the
admission committee that you are the best
candidate and have exactly what it takes to
accomplish the program.
 Not only grades matter;
demonstration of what kind of
person you are is also
extremely important.
Convince tutors that you are
not just an average student
but capable to succeed in
healthcare professions for
sure.
What is your motives for applying to PA school?
What skills can distinguish you from other applicants?
What are your strengths?
What are your achievements?
What about your previous studying? What have you gained?
How do you see your future?
Why have you chosen the medical field? What so special about it?
Start your writing in advance
• Do not wait till the last minute. Write an outline, a few drafts, create a
perfect PA school personal statement without rushing. Later read it in
a week or so from the admission’s point of view. Is your statement is
catchy and engaging enough? If not, start writing again. Some experts
advise to devote personal statement a few months to do it right.
• Organize your paper and make it coherent.
Choose a few topics and structure your
writing around them in order to make it flow
logically and smoothly, from one topic to
another. Intriguing introduction, informative
body and impressive conclusion are exactly
what you need. Be precise, specific and
direct.
Good
structure
is a key
factor of
success
 Remember about grammar, spelling rules,
proper punctuation, etc.
 You don’t want the admission tutors to read a
personal statement PA school full of grammatical
mistakes, poorly structured and illogical. You
have to capture the reader’s attention, not to
scary it.
• You can even reveal some
personal stories and
emotions so the reader can
live through it with you.
However, try not too hard
because there is a chance to
look self-centered. And also
be careful with emotional
experience, present it
professionally.
Be original
Demonstrate your commitment
• Being a physician assistant is stressful and
responsible. Explain that you are ready to take
this hard road and knowledgeable about the
profession. Explain WHY you want to be a PA
and are passionate about patient care. Find out
more about a PA from his Google book.
• Reflect your experience
• Not only list your achievements, but present what you have
learned and how it will help you being a PA. Lots of PA
students take part in volunteering programs, work in hospitals
during summer, visit classes and public lectures and so on.
Having such experience demonstrates your interest in
medicine field. Say about it in your personal statement for
physician assistant!
Don’t write about your
academic success in
irrelevant fields.
 If you were the best in arts
but it is absolutely
irrelevant to medicine, do
not include it in your paper.
Focus on valuable
achievements.
Exclude all needless
information
 Writers call it “filler”
which make content
longer but not
informative. Get rid of
it.
Do not plagiarize
 Using work of somebody else is not a good way to
present yourself in front of the committee. They
can easily check your writing on Google or
through a plagiarism check program.
• Do no excuse for your past
mistakes, underachievement or
whatever else.
• There is no place for negativity
so present only your positive
accomplishments.
• Include only concrete, valuable
information like in this PA
personal statement example.
No
excuses
• “I really like to help people”
or “I really love medicine”
are so cliché. If you don’t
want your statement to be
poorly written, get rid of
platitude. It is simply a
generalization that sounds
pretty but over-used and
meaningless.
There is no place
for clichés
Do realize what the PA profession demands
 Strict discipline, humanity, complete
dedication, responsibility and so on – you
must be prepare to these. If you are looking
for an easy and prestigious career, try
something else.
Remember about proper
length of your statement
 It shouldn’t be too long
because you don’t want a
reader to get lost in too
many details. Make it
readable. Divide a huge
paragraph into 2 smaller
parts. Make more space by
using shorter paragraphs.
Don’t you want to make a
good first impression
thanks to proper format of
your paper, do you?
Proofread
• Thoroughly read physician assistant personal statement
several times in order to find any kind of mistakes or
structure problems. Ask for a second look from your
friends, parents, classmates and take into account their
feedbacks. All of them know you differently so their
comments can improve some of your claims.
Lack of specificity
Dull introduction and pale conclusion
No Theme
Controversial topics
Use “I” too many times
Relying on Microsoft Word’s spelling and grammar check
As an alternative, you always can use professional help
from personal statements writing services!
 Look through some physician assistant
personal statement example
