Summary: Just OK
Comment: Contains some very good sample essays - and that's OK if that is all you need. I find that it lacks any specific type of instruction on how exactly to write a good application essay - in other words, it doesn't teach anything beyond what one would probably already know. A far better book is "Essays That Will Get You into Medical School" by Dan Kaufman and Chris Dowhan.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Essays somewhat of a help
Comment: This book, I suppose, serves its purpose. It is 40 essays one after the other. However, if you are looking for any sort of advice in writing your personal statement, look for another text. It seems as though the essays are all basically the same.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Perfect for applicants
Comment: I am an educational counselor and received all four of the new "Essays That Worked" books recently. These books are perfect for any applicant stumped by or anxious about writing a personal statement. The essays are inspiring, and the advice is frank and fresh. I have recommended Stephanie Jones's "Medical School Admissions: The Insider's Guide" to my clients for years, and I will now highly recommend "Essays That Worked for Medical School" as well.

Discover why admissions officers from the nation’s top medical schools selected these essays of worthy applicants
With only a limited number of spaces available every year to the thousands of
qualified applicants to the nation’s top medical schools, a serious candidate must find
a way to set himself or herself apart from the crowd. The essay is your one chance to
highlight the personal qualities and achievements that the application and MCAT
scores do not reveal.
As Essays That Worked for Medical Schools demonstrates, there is no such thing as
the perfect submission. The winning essays cover a wide range of interesting topics. If there is any similarity, it is that they are written from the heart. One applicant writes about his work as a counselor for mentally ill adults and teens. Another tells about the life-changing experience of delivering much needed supplies to a leprosy village in West Africa. And a third applicant talks about time spent volunteering at a local senior center. From the thousands submitted each year, the essays in this book were considered some of the best by admissions officers at the nation’s top medical schools.
With creativity and effort, you can turn almost any topic into an effective, successful essay for your medical school application!
