My real applications, annotated.
The personal statement that got me into med school, the ERAS application that matched me into anesthesiology, and my notes on why every line is there. Ten dollars each, or donate what you can.
I'm honestly a pretty average applicant on paper. A 3.66 GPA, a 507 MCAT, and a 2.71 freshman year with an F in precalc, which is kind of embarrassing to type out. I still got into med school, and then I matched anesthesiology at my number one.
That's why I'm sharing these. You get to see exactly what one average application looked like when it worked, and where every line came from.
Three files, ten dollars each.
$10 each, or donate what you can. Each one is a PDF with my notes in the margin, plus a plain-text copy so you can see the real character counts.
My med school personal statement

My residency personal statement
The one-page anesthesiology statement I sent through ERAS, annotated line by line.
$10 or donate what you can. Same file either way.
See what's inside
All three, plus my interview notes.
The three files plus a two-page sheet from my own interviews: my ten med school interview tips, MMI prep, what the day actually looks like, and what came up. The sheet is super short and it's only in the set. $24 is six dollars under the three files on their own.
Either way you get the same four files.
What's in the set
Why it costs anything
Honestly, I'd give these away. The price mostly keeps them from getting forwarded around to a thousand people, and then it covers the web hosting, and whatever's left is a little cup of coffee for me. I was a broke premed and I'm a resident now, so I know nobody in this line has money to burn. If ten dollars is a stretch, donate what you can. You get the same file, and I'm genuinely fine with that.
How this works
It's a PDF, and it's instant.
The download link shows up right after checkout. You also get a plain-text copy of every essay, so you can check the real character counts against the current limits.
It stays current.
When AMCAS or ERAS changes the rules, I update the file and you get the new edition at no charge.
Thirty-day refund.
If it isn't what you needed, reply to your receipt within 30 days and I'll refund it, no questions.
Where these came from.
I walked through every one of these documents on my channel over the years, page by page. This is the same material, cleaned up, with the notes written down instead of said out loud.
Please don't copy it.
These are mine, and they're here so you can see how one real application was built. Copying lines from them into yours is plagiarism. Schools and programs run essays through plagiarism software, and under the ERAS integrity policy a finding goes to every school or program you applied to. Take the structure, write your own sentences.
good luck out there. this is the life we chose, baby :)
