"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, and even persuasive writing. I plan to take these skills and apply them to my graduate studies as well."
