Every piece of writing has an audience and a purpose.

All Star Essays will help you craft a personal statement that connects with your audience and moves you toward your admissions goal.

As a veterinary school applicant, you don't need us to tell you that you are going through an exceptionally complex and detailed application process. Admissions requirements vary more from school to school in DVM admissions than they do for probably any other degree program. Your personal statements play a key role in your admissions outcomes.

The audience for each of your personal statement is the admissions committee of the veterinary schools to which you are applying.

The purpose of your personal statement is convince admissions committee members that you have the 'soft' qualities they look for in vet students as well as unique qualities that merit choosing you as a vet student above other applicants.

Admissions committee members begin the process with a good assessment of the 'hard' skills that qualify you for vet school. They've seen your transcripts and your resume as well as your GPA and GRE, MCAT, or VCAT scores. Based on them, they can determine whether you have the intellectual and academic ability to succeed in veterinary school.

What they don't know is whether you have the 'soft' qualities that schools look for in veterinarians. Are you compassionate? Can you handle people as well as you can handle animals? Could you explain a medical issue to the owner of a sick animal, and help them make an informed and responsible choice about what to do? Are you ethical? Would you speak up when needed? Do you have intellectual curiosity? Are you resilient?

Your personal statements are your chance to answer those questions.

Think of each statement as a preliminary interview on paper. You need to project yourself as someone who is confident in front of others, who can be trusted with life-and-death issues – but who is approachable as well. You want to show that you can think and communicate clearly and accurately. You want to convey your personality, to give your readers an idea of who you are as a person, why they should entrust the care of living animals to you, and why they would welcome you as a student and future colleague. You want to tell your readers something that will stick in their minds and help them distinguish you from the scores of other qualified applicants who want to be veterinarians.

It goes without saying that your statements must be free of grammatical errors, misspellings, and typos. There are numerous people who can help you with editing. However, All Star Essays goes the extra mile, helping hone your statements, so that they meet the very high standards of veterinary school admissions.
