bananabread1212 Posted August 23, 2018 Report Share Posted August 23, 2018 Hi Guys! I have a few questions about the 4 personal essays and 3 ABS statements: 1. I know we should use personal examples in the 3 ABS statements, but what about for the 4 personal essays? 2. For the 3 ABS statements, would it be better to focus on 1/2 clusters for each statement or include all 4 clusters in all 3 statements? THANK YOU Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eudaimonia Posted August 24, 2018 Report Share Posted August 24, 2018 1. Incorporate examples if you are able to. This is not required for every question, but it's always a good plug for yourself. 2. Similar to reference letters, as long as you can demonstrate all CANMED roles across your essays, you're good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
somebowdy Posted August 24, 2018 Report Share Posted August 24, 2018 What about CANMEDS/clusters in the Brief Personal Essays? Are all 4 clusters supposed to be covered in these?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did not consciously check that all clusters were covered in my BPEs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aquanaut Posted September 9, 2018 Report Share Posted September 9, 2018 The best way was to use a previous experience/example that illustrated a CANMED. Two birds with one stone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
