Personal Statement Including Life Story
I started working on my personal statement recently and was wondering if I should include my life story in it as it's somewhat unique and involves me and my family fleeing Iraq when I was young just before the war and living in multiple countries before moving to the US. Would it be taking up too much space of the PS or is it justified for me to include it even though it doesn't necessarily directly pertain to why I want to become a physician/pursue medicine?
Thanks! (Source: Student Doctor Network)
