Medical SoP/Personal Statement Sample Questions/Topics

Medical School Application, McMaster University

Autobiographical Submission

The autobiographical submission is part of the application and must be completed according to the instructions. Failure to do so will result in the disqualification of the applicant. Applicants should be aware that the same reader may not be scoring all of your questions and therefore you should answer each question as an individual question and not build upon your previous responses.
The autobiographical submission consists of these five questions:
1. Describe your current medical career aspirations (family physician versus specialist versus research/academic) and describe any life experiences that have influenced your career aspirations.

2. What different course(s) of action have you considered in the past in order to improve your collaboration abilities? How has or will that course(s) of action enhance your collaboration abilities?

3. Describe a previous job, extracurricular or volunteer experience and its influence upon your wish to become a physician.

4. Knowing that gaining a position in medical school is extremely difficult, what other educational programs or fields of employment have you considered? Please include a description of specific actions that you have taken to explore such alternative goal(s).

5. Much of the medical program at McMaster is small group problem-based learning. Have you had any experience with this type of learning and, if so, what aspects of this style of learning have you enjoyed and what aspects have you not enjoyed? If you have not experienced problem-based learning, why do you believe that you will be able to thrive in this environment?
