Shouldn't I just try to figure out "what they want to hear," and give them that?

Please don't. It can be lethal.

It's the quickest way for you to make yourself sound exactly like every other applicant out there, and it usually leaves out the most interesting specific things about you.

You are much, much better off using the personal essay space to create a highly personal, powerful, extremely well-reasoned argument in your own behalf.

How can you do this? You can start by searching your OWN SOUL for what are the most compelling reasons you, (not 100 other people) should be in medical school. Then, you organize and express that information by using the exact same principles that a lawyer uses when arguing a case in court. It's by using these very old, time-tested principles that we can get a reader to say: "Wow. This makes absolutely perfect sense." Trouble is, they don't ever teach you that much about these principles in undergrad.....you usually don't learn them unless you go to law school! ( I can give you practical tools for doing this, though, if you need help. Just click on GET HELP NOW .)

If you're doing this on your own you might learn these time-tested principles of argument in three specific ways. You could 1) ask a logic professor at your college or university to explain the principles to you (be sure to ask him or her, if you do this, about the THREE COMPONENT PARTS OF ARGUMENT that must be in perfect balance in order for an argument to be perfectly convincing). You could 2) get a textbook on argumentation from your college bookstore, or ............. I can help you.
