<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>
