"I believe I am the strongest student for your medical program because I am incredibly dedicated to my professional and personal development. Since beginning my undergraduate program, I have committed to taking a personal development workshop twice yearly. The topics have included communication, bedside manner, multi-tasking, organization, leadership, and even persuasive writing. I plan to take these skills and apply them to my graduate studies as well."

"I have already demonstrated a notable dedication to this profession, as evidenced by my work outside the classroom. I have volunteered for the past five years with various medical organizations and nonprofit agencies. I regularly seek out additional educational opportunities ensuring that I continue to gain new knowledge related to the field of medicine, and I have traveled overseas to accomplish this by working with non-governmental agencies. Also, during my travels, I learned to speak Spanish and Portuguese fluently and know some American Sign language that will help me in my career as a physician."
