There's just one thing to consider before hitting the "send" button - will it meet the admission team's expectations? How will you know? CASPA guidelines are vague - "Write a brief statement expressing your motivation or desire to become a physician assistant." School websites aren't generally more helpful. Do they want to hear that you've dreamed of becoming a PA since you were five and loved your toy stethoscope? Are they interested in your volunteer work at a homeless shelter? Will it help that you've been a science nerd since 9th grade Biology? How should you tell your story? Should it read like a textbook, a novel or something in between? The fact is there hasn't been much guidance. Until now. Admissions directors and faculty from PA programs across the country have shared their thoughts on personal statements - what they hope to see, what they wish they'd never see, and tips to make an essay shine. When compiling this book, we realized that access to insider information is just the first step to writing a winning personal statement. That's why we teach you everything you need to know about essay writing, from form to finesse, with step-by-step tips and examples. This is your all-in-one guide to writing the ideal personal statement for Physician Assistant programs anywhere in the country.

Book excerpt: A compassionate, shame-free guide for your darkest days “A one-of-a-kind book . . . to read for yourself or give to a struggling friend or loved one without the fear that depression and suicidal thoughts will be minimized, medicalized or over-spiritualized.”—Kay Warren, cofounder of Saddleback Church What happens when loving Jesus doesn’t cure you of depression, anxiety, or suicidal thoughts? You might be crushed by shame over your mental illness, only to be told by well-meaning Christians to “choose joy” and “pray more.” So you beg God to take away the pain, but nothing eases the ache inside. As darkness lingers and color drains from your world, you’re left wondering if God has abandoned you. You just want a way out. But there’s hope. In I Love Jesus, But I Want to Die, Sarah J. Robinson offers a healthy, practical, and shame-free guide for Christians struggling with mental illness. With unflinching honesty, Sarah shares her story of battling depression and fighting to stay alive despite toxic theology that made her afraid to seek help outside the church. Pairing her own story with scriptural insights, mental health research, and simple practices, Sarah helps you reconnect with the God who is present in our deepest anguish and discover that you are worth everything it takes to get better. Beautifully written and full of hard-won wisdom, I Love Jesus, But I Want to Die offers a path toward a rich, hope-filled life in Christ, even when healing doesn’t look like what you expect.
