Personal Statement for Vet Med

I was wondering if anyone here would mine showing me their personal statement? Preferably one that helped you get accepted somewhere. I'm not 100% sure I'll end up applying for Vet Med, having only just realised it's what I want to do, but if so I'll have to rush writing it, and it would be a great help to view some examples first. I realise there are websites to view examples, but I can't seem to find any for Vet Med. Thanks :smile:

This is an excellent book full of information, advice, alternative routes of entry and includes a whole section on personal statements:

I have no idea why its going for 35 quid on amazon, it only a small paperback book but I suggest reserving it from your local library. Its got ps examples in it.

Thanks. I'll check that out :smile:
Books can only help you so much. Get plenty of drafts done checked by your teachers and/or careers people, get it flowing and singing your praises.
I have a new computer so no longer have a copy of my ps on here to send but if you PM me a draft I can make some suggestions.
i sent mine to TSR wiki a week or so ago, but now i cant find my own copy

so ditto the abuv. PM me ur p/s and ill also give suggestions. (p.s. my personal statement got me 2 out of 2 interviews so hopefully my input would help! lol :smile: )
