I think the deadline for your personal statement is 15th October, right? Well I've thought of some points that I hope you will find useful Insha'Allaah:
· As someone already said, make sure you include any experience that you have and even if you havent got much, you can still expand upon it and make it sound as though its given you a lot of insight etc. Some people dont even bother getting any experience at all and make it up, which can actually work!
· Other than that, the key point in your personal statement must be that you love working with people, that you have a caring nature and that you have always wanted to be a doctor (i.e. you didnt just make up your mind the night before!).
· Whatever you mention in a personal statement, you need to say how it suits you for that course and what skills you have gained/what you have learnt from it.
· Be sure to mention personal interests as this will make you different from others - try to mention interesting and unusual things, not just 'socialising' or 'watching tv'. Any extra-curricular activities would be great to mention too. Saying that you enjoy things like art and other creative things etc. to relieve stress can give you an edge for a stressful job like that of a doctor.
· Make sure you get your statement checked by as many people as possible, including doctors and people who can improve the english and help you add things in.
· Never mention anything that gives a negative impression of you
· Remember that anything you say can be a potential question in the interview - so you must be prepared to talk about it!
