Every year, thousands of qualified applicants vie for a small number of places in medical schools. With similar grades, backgrounds, and goals, sometimes the only thing that can make you stand out is your application essay. It's the best chance you have to tip the scales in your favor.

Essays That Worked for Medical Schools shows that the best essays are brief, sincere, and personal. Some are off-the-wall, some are bold, all are unique. One applicant wrote about counseling mentally ill adults and teens. Another about delivering critical supplies to an African leprosy village. And a third wrote about volunteering at a senior center. From the thousands submitted each year, the 40 essays in this book were considered some of the best by admissions officers at the nation's top medical schools. As this collection demonstrates, you can turn almost any topic into an effective, successful essay.

Use these essays to relieve your anxiety and provide a catalyst to your own creativity.
