This task can be specially challenging for IMGs who might not have a great English language skills or even if they have they may still don't know what to write in a residency personal statement.

We have few guidelines to get you started here

Accepted.com

Although accepted.com is very expensive but I think they are the best personal statement writers.

I highly recommend CVPersonalstatement Editors. Very professional and quick. They care about you. They try to understand who you are. Therefore, they are better able to help you compose a PS that captures your true essence/your strengths....worth every penny.

residencypersonalstatement.org

Please, don't waste your money with residencypersonalstatement.org. Don't make the same mistake I made. I will post more details later, because right now I am waiting to see if these people review the horrible PS they wrote for me. I am definitely going to use what I had written myself, since at least it is honest and makes sense. I just was seeking some "professional help" to make my PS better and fit the US standards. Unfortunately, they just cobbed together a bunch on unrelated statements into a non-coherent mess!

Yes, I have used them personally. Otherwise, I would not be recommending them to all of you . They do their best to incorporate your uniqueness into the PS....no generic stuff with them.

CVpersonalstatement.com

cvpersonalstatement edited my PS for internal medicine. They get back to me quickly in less than two days. Their price is reasonable for the service they provide. Their personnel are very professional and care for the applicants. In addition to editing the draft, they gave me useful advice regarding my CV. They did a great job and I highly recommend them.

Dear Docnas,

I wanted to take a moment to respond to your post and express my hope that you were satisfied with the work we did on your personal statement. Like you, I also hope that the people who have voted for my company are real, since I genuinely believe we offer the best personal statement services out there and would not want our rating to be falsely inflated in any way.

To tell you a little more about my experience and why I believe my company is rated the highest of the companies on this forum, I first started editing medical residency personal statements for my friends when I was still working for UNESCO. These friends appreciated the unique, personal approach I took to each of their personal statements and recommended me to others. This led to my having edited a few dozen personal statements for medical residency before I met my wife, my experience with whom gave me invaluable insight into the medical residency application process.

Unlike the friends I had helped previously, my wife (this was before we were married) had almost everything going against her. She was an international medical graduate from Venezuela, with more than two years since she had graduated from medical school, no US clinical experience, almost two years since her last clinical experience (she had moved to the US to study for and pass the USMLE tests), and an F1 visa. However, in spite of this, I helped her write an outstanding personal statement, as well as the other components of her ERAS application, and she was able to obtain a PGY1 position in OB-GYN, which was her specialty.

Since that time, the editors who work for me and I have edited hundreds of personal statements every year, giving each one the same personal attention and expertise that I had devoted to and learned from my friends and wife. It is out of this experience that we have established ourselves as leaders in editing personal statements for medical residency, particularly for IMG applicants.

I hope this helps to provide a little more information about our qualifications for editing medical residency personal statements. If you or anyone else would like more information about our qualifications or the services we provide, please visit us at www.The-Draft-Editor.com or feel free to send me an email at [email protected].

Hello All,

I just wanted to make all of you out there of a scam website that offers personal statement writing services for seemingly cheap rates, but they are the worst in terms of professional courtesy. Not only did they write a really mediocre letter, but when i complained about the service, they replied in an extremely rude and offensive way. I have their e-mails saved in case anyone wanted to see their non-professionalism first hand.
Just beware of using that website. I think it's a one-man operated scam and isn't even a company.

I hope this helps somebody out there. Wish I'd known that before spending my hard earned money on them.

www.The-Draft_Editor.com is now www.DLAEditors.com

Dear All,

Because many of you are valued clients of David Lombardino & Associates editing and proofreading services, we wanted you to be among the first to know about some exciting changes we're making

First, we've changed our name to DLA Editors & Proofers. Our excellent editorial staff remains intact and I am still the owner and editor-in-chief; we just think the shorter name is easier to remember and more directly tells potential clients what it is we do.

Second, we've updated and improved our website. We do have a new URL, www.DLAEditors.com, but our current URL, www.the-draft-editor.com,will remain active for the foreseeable future. Both URLs will take you to the new site, which we think is much easier to use and navigate.

Our Advice for Personal Statements, which many of you have found helpful, is now located at www.dlaeditors.com/advice_for_personal_statements.html, though the link in my previous post will take you there as well.

What's not changing is our commitment to clients like you, which has enabled our success and growth; we've edited over 20 million words-including over 900 personal statements for medical residency-for more than 1,000 clients over the last four years. Our exceptionally high standards of excellence and relentless dedication to service is what got us here-we're not about to change that now!

If you have a personal statement that needs the highest-quality editing and proofreading, I urge you to explore our new website and discover how we can help you realize the fullest potential for your project.

If you have any feedback, questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to contact me directly. We look forward to working with you!

Sincerely,
David Lombardino
