<p>One way to start is to make a list of the reasons why you should be admitted. Focus on the traits that aren’t already coming across in the rest of the application–determination or desire to help others, for example, rather than intelligence or leadership experience. Then think about stories from your life that demonstrate these traits.</p>

<p>Good luck!</p>
