Having failed to get acceptance into PA school, I had to re-write my essay. As I stared at the blank computer screen, I realized I needed help. I searched through the countless websites looking for tips and tricks, but nothing really provided the knock out punch that I needed to differentiate myself from the thousands of other quality candidates. I was frustrated!
Then, I came across Dave’s book. At the low price, I figured why not? Once I got it, I was amazed! It was like Dave was reading my mind about the questions and comments he posed to the reader. The book is easy to read and understand. It is written in a relaxed and friendly tone. This reduced much of the anxiety in an extremely stressful process. The self-analysis questions are outstanding. They virtually unlock a river of material that you can work with to piece together an essay that will make you stand out from the sea of other applicants.
Once you have your building blocks, Dave walks you through the process of formulating a “knock your socks off” statement. He covers misconceptions, organization, emotional effect, keys points, and even issues for non-native English speakers.
I had the foundations for my statement and a quality rough draft in no time.
I highly recommend this book for those who want to stand out and have a great essay!
