Biomedical science, personal statement?

Ay up,

Hi, I'm going to be studying biomedical science at uni. However I have to complete a personal statement.

I am having trouble in a few particular areas, basically why I want to study the degree!

I love health care and how diseases can be prevented and cures for them. Dna and gentics are also future development which i would love to see my self working in. SO how can i elaborate in these areas, particluar the health area?

cheers mates!

I think you don't know why you want to go into that field, cat. I have followed some of your threads for a while now and you seem to be under some huge source of pressure, because this is all you ever post about. Are your parents forcing you into this or something?

You say you love this stuff but you are having trouble with your personal statement on why you even want to study it. That makes no sense.

My parents would be the last people on earth to get me to do any sort of education, they couldnt give a rats ass.

Why I was struggling a bit is I was confused which degree to do, as I have heard a lot of horror stories of ppl doing degrees and being jobless or doing a job they dont desire.

i'd rather be safe than sorry, and so just wanted to confirm any doubts. Getting back to the statement, yes getting into uni is more difficult this year and I wanted some extra help on making my statement stand out from the other losers.

The probability of a good future in biomedical science for any individual studying it is slim.

Doesn't mean you can't have a thriving career in the field, but most people that start this career line do not.

Are you passionate enough to deal with that?

 

ooh arr

 

How about...' I want to play God, have the key to the candy jar, get paid a shitload and win the people's acclaim and ovation.'

It may not even be true but the good folks at the uni will be secretly impressed by your balls.

 

I can see your point, but I still think you're full of it.

 

So how about...'I have very little imagination and little potential for a decent bedside manner. I should fit right in. END

 

Ooh aye... I see the screw-up fairy has visited us yet again

 

Cat, if you've been accepted, what the fuck does it matter?

Just give them any old shit..." Stethoscope?...check. White coat?...check.
Anal thermometer?...check. Golf clubs?...check. Alcohol dependency?...check."


Or are you all serious all of a sudden?

 

I've been thinking the same thing about this person. He (or she) doesn't seem to want to enter the healthcare profession out of concern for the ill. He doesn't care about the patients. He seems only to want to secure a job with high wages. That is all that is on his mind. This makes for a very bad healthcare professional. I'm speaking as a witness who has firsthand experience with that type.

I think this person would be better suited for some nerdy shit like mechanical engineering.

 

I bet when they were giving out heads, you thought they said beds, and you said "I'd like something soft" .. ass

 

I was a in a bit of a hurry when I wrote this and what I meant by 'help in areas why i want to study degree', was how i could elaborate. Not specifically why. But I guess some people arent bright enough to to realise.

Anyways.. I have already seen the lady that sorts all that stuff for my intended uni and she said it was perfect. So you ass holes can do your shit some where else now.

 

I've helped many students write their personal statements persuasively, and always got better results extraordinary gratutide for doing my job well. If your purpose is true the statement can come through resoundingly, while, for some, articulating may be the difficult part, especially the integration of driving stentiments with subtlety of service and "science-speak" with its clinicism. If the drive is internal without external presumptuousness, such as parental badgering, then conveying your message with more savvy and panache is indeed possible.

 

If you are having trouble explaining in detail why you want to devote the rest of your working life to a field, perhaps you shouldn't devote the rest of your working life to that field.

 

Just write about a personal experience from your life that shows an instance that led you down this path. And look back on it displaying (in a Jovial manner) the things you have learned since that time.

 

All these personal statements are bullshit, because biomedical research is just another business sector.

They are just keeping up the myth that you are on a personal mission, a quest for truth, for the glory of society. Probably for political reasons.

Just tell them to piss off.
