Episode 19: 3 Answers to YOUR Personal Statement Questions
IN THIS EPISODE
Today I’m talking about the personal statement. Specifically, I’m going to share my answers to questions you – or dietetics students just like you – have actually asked me. I’ve got some clips of Q&A sessions from some of the Live Personal Statement Workshops I’ve held. On this episode’s release date, we are 68 days away from the Spring 2021 Match Deadline. January is the last time this Workshop will be offered before then.
In the live Workshops, I give dietetics students the guidance they need to write their personal statement in as little as 4 weeks. I only have a few live Workshops during the year, and the next one is going to be January 4-29, 2021. So, in preparation for that, I thought I’d share a little of what it’s like to be in the Workshop.
Workshop members also get to work directly with me. We have live Q&A sessions each week so you can ask the questions that come up during your own writing process. That way, you can get customized guidance that is specific to your situation, and what you want to share with directors. On this episode’s release date, we are 68 days away from the Spring 2021 Match Deadline. January is the last time this Workshop will be offered before then.
In this episode, I’m sharing 3 questions I’ve answered in the Workshop:
1. Why shouldn't I use lack of clinical experience as a weakness?
2. Which responses do I change to make it specific to different programs?
3. Can I use the program's RD exam pass rate as a reason I chose to apply there?
YOUR ACTION STEP
First of all, use this information while you’re writing your own personal statement! Whether or not you join the Workshop, this info likely applies in some way to what you’re putting together for your application.
Second, if you’re not sure about the Workshop being a good fit for you, add your name to the waitlist so you can read through all the info about it when registration opens. That way, you’re giving yourself every opportunity to find guidance you can use.
