"First and foremost, Nova Southeastern University's commitment and passion for serving the medically underserved drew me to your program. During my career, I want to bring services to those that don't have exposure to the best care, and I feel that your DO program will help me get the best experiences as a medical student. I'd also love to spend the next four years in Southern Florida because I have close family here and would have a great support system in place."

Start by searching their website and take special note of any recent news articles, events, or contributions they have made to the community or student body. Identify their mission and values to be clear on what they stand for.
