Personal Statement & Activity Writing

Aprile Bertomo: Personal Statements & Activity Writing

Hi there! My name is Aprile Bertomo, I am a recent graduate from Cornell University and I am currently a Medical Assistant in NYC. I hope to practice as a physician in the future, aware of how societal factors have the ability to profoundly impact human health. In my free time, I enjoy photography (although I'm not very good!), ballet dancing, and being with family and friends.

In this video, Aprile talks about what the personal statement is and how to approach it. She also talks about how to write about the activities that you've done and lastly, she talks a little bit about school specifics.
