Grad Personal Statements

Your graduate school application (i.e. medical/dental/pharmacy) is a set of numbers: your cumulative GPA, class rank, standardized test scores, and so on. The essay is therefore your opportunity to shine, reveal your strengths and qualities as an individual, instead of being represented by a superficial test score or transcript. Therefore, the essay is your best opportunity for the school to gain a complete picture and sense of who you are as a person, as well as your ability to write – and think – with a high degree of skill and competence.

Because of the weight and importance of the essay, and its open-ended nature, the process can seem daunting. Where do you start? How do you go about picking a topic? How do you structure your writing? A multiple choice test like the SAT may be hard, but you know for sure that one of the answers has to be correct. A blank sheet of paper, by comparison, can seem downright petrifying and scary.

Good writing is hard, but the key to success is not mysterious. As the best selling author Michael Crichton said, “Books are not written – they’re rewritten.” A common theme for any type of high quality writing, whether its a book, article or 4500-character personal essay, is the process of constantly revising and editing, draft after draft. Writing is no different than sports or music: no matter how talented you are to start, you can only improve by hard work and repetition.

An important part of this process is access to other people with outstanding writing skills who can help review your first and subsequent drafts.

Grad Personal Statements will provide you with access to encouraging, highly skilled professionals with expertise in writing and the application process to help you become a stronger contender. Place your order and get started today!

At “Grad Personal Statements”, we guarantee our customer 100% confidentiality as long as they do not share their personal information with the writer by themselves. We have no control over live chat communication you and your writer keep, but we do guarantee that no personal information that you submit to us when placing the order will ever be disclosed to the writer or any third party. As long as you do not disclose such information by yourself, the writer will not know where you are located, what your e-mail address is or even your name. Moreover, sharing such information between you and the writers is against our Confidentiality Policy. So we strongly encourage you to keep your communication with writers within strictly business limits. We take privacy very seriously and all files remain secure, private and confidential.

Grad Personal Statements is based here in the United States and our writers and editors all live within the United States spanning from California to New York. Our writers and editors have advanced degrees in English with high working standards, are well-educated and have several years of relevant professional experience in English. So in case you wish to know some writer’s specific location, you are free to ask for such information from him/her directly in chat.

If you have written your dental school personal statement (on your own or with our help), we assist you in modifying it, and reducing the length to fit the character limit. At this stage, our consultants can provide you with written or oral (depending on the client’s preference) feedback on your personal statement and grammatical/organizational edits to your essay.

Our “Good Package” and “Better Package” is ideal for those who already have a draft or the whole paper completed and would like our writer to improve its content. Both these services will require you to upload your draft.

Our “Better Package” is intended for those who have the first or second draft of their personal statement and are heading in the right direction but need us to evaluate your essay and make possible changes of content of up to 25-30%. This may include rewriting some portions of your essay which includes editing, revision and proofreading. Our “Better Package” covers a more in-depth change of the content to make it a more compelling and strong personal statement.

Our “Good Package” is intended for those who want a polish on their near complete personal statement. It encompasses proofreading the content, formatting the paper and making grammatical fixes and putting tweaks and finishes that will make it ready for submission.

The length of your personal statement is dictated by your application requirements. Therefore, it is important to condense your story in a concise and succinct manner while giving it all the punch! Here is a list of character limits imposed by the following:

AADSAS (Dental): 4500 characters (spaces are counted as characters)
AAMCAS (Medical): 5300 characters (spaces are counted as characters)
OptomCAS (Optometry): 4500 characters (spaces are counted as characters)
PharmCAS (Pharmacy): 4500 characters (spaces are counted as characters)
VMCAS (Medical): 5000 characters (spaces are counted as characters)

You are able to upload any additional materials for the writer, be it a draft, an outline or some readings, right at the stage of filling out your order form.

Our “Best” Package is your solution.

If you have not started writing your personal statement, our consultants are prepared to help you develop the necessary content for a strong personal statement. This service includes an initial review of your personal and professional background, and a consultation on how to present yourself as a strong candidate based on this background. Our admissions consultants will work with you to develop the outline for your personal statement, help you decide which ideas to include, and assist you in building the necessary ideas.

Our editor will be assigned to you to help you write a strong, compelling personal statement from scratch. The editor will contact you by phone and will go through a brainstorming session with you to better understand how to portray your story. Some brainstorming session ideas that will be discussed in our phone consultation will be:

*Some students have a background or story that is so central to their identity that they believe their application would be incomplete without it. If this sounds like you, then please share your story.

*Recount an incident or time when you experienced failure. How did it affect you, and what lessons did you learn?

*Reflect on a time when you challenged a belief or idea. What prompted you to act? Would you make the same decision again?

*Describe a place or environment where you are perfectly content. What do you do or experience there, and why is it meaningful to you?

*Discuss an accomplishment or event, formal or informal, that marked your transition from childhood to adulthood within your culture, community, or family.

Pick any of the three packages above and fill out the order form. You can choose between PayPal or Credit card to make payment. Once you have submitted you order, you will be assigned to an editor. Please upload any documents that will aid us in editing or creating your personal statement.

When you complete the order form, you will be assigned to an editor. The editor will need your current draft of your personal statement or any information that will help them in either sprucing it up or developing your personal statement from scratch. Once all files are in good order, you can expect to receive your personal statement within 48 business hours depending on the schedule and work load of your assigned editor.

Once the writer is paid for the whole order, you have a chance to download your final paper in one of the two formats: either as an MS Word document, or as a .pdf file. Documents will be uploaded into your member account portal accessed at: http://www.gradpersonalstatements.com/members

Each and every student’s personal statement is unique and original. There is no cookie cutter approach when writing personal statements as everyone has a different story which needs to be told. If you want to be certain that your paper is plagiarism-free, there are two things you can do. One is to use our additional service called “Plagiarism Check”, which allows you to check the order for plagiarism unlimited number of times – every time your writer completes a revision or adds new content. This service is completely free of charge for our customers. Another option we suggest is to use one of the plagiarism-detection systems available online, but select the one you know you can trust. We can advise you a free plagiarism checker at PlagiarismCheck.org, however, you are free to use turnitin.com or any other service as well.

If you do not like what the writer is writing, we recommend you to communicate your comments to the writer with no hesitation, while the order is still in progress, so that the writer does not have to start anew later on. You can instantly let the writer know whether he/she is doing something wrong or guide him in a different direction via chat communication. However, once the order is fully completed, you will not be able to have the paper revised within this order any longer since the order is automatically set on “Finished” status. What you can do in such a case is place an order for editing or rewriting type of service. We are also always here to help to ensure that you have the personal statement you need to stand out!

Because application advisors cannot control your grades, your graduate test scores (i.e. MCAT/DAT/OAT/PCAT), the amount and quality of your volunteer experience, or how thoroughly you follow the advice offered on these pages, please understand that we cannot guarantee any individual’s acceptance to graduate school.
