When I was applying to Medical Schools in Ireland, Sue was an immense help in constructing my personal statement.  Getting started is the most difficult part, but once she and I sat down and talked through rough ideas that I wanted to include in the statement, I was able to put together my thoughts on paper.  I went back to Sue once I had written up a rough draft and she was able to help organize it in a clear and concise way and help me relate all my points back to medicine, which is what the schools are looking for.  Her help in this process was invaluable and I cannot thank her enough. Thanks again for all your help during that process!
