Review the requirements of your application. Note word limits for your personal statement and specific questions that the program asks you to address. Be sure that you are aware of the due date for your application and plan ahead to allow enough time for several edits and a peer review.
Introduce yourself, stating what program you are applying to and which concentrations, if any, you are interested in within the field of health administration. Talk about why you chose the program, how your interest in health administration developed, and any relevant experiences you have. Discuss what you plan to do after you graduate and how you would apply your academic degree to your career. Demonstrate your dedication and interest in health administration, as well as your ability to be successful.
Edit your first draft. Ensure that you have answered all required questions of the personal statement. Verify that you have answered all requirements specified in the application instructions. Modify your document until you are within the word limits. Remove excess information and phrasing.
Have someone else review your essay. Ask friends, co-workers, professors and family to check for spelling and grammar. Request their suggestions and take time to edit thoughtfully your personal statement.
Perform a final review. Check spelling and grammar. Edit the content for conciseness and clarity, ensuring that you are both selling yourself and maintaining a professional tone. Be sure that you have used your own personal "voice" as the writing style of the piece but remember that it is a formal application and the rules of formal writing should be used.
