Writing Center Appointments: Loyola University Chicago's Writing Center has been working with Pre-Health students for many years to help draft and review personal statements.  Beginning March 23, they will be available remotely for "online synchronous" and "written feedback" appointments, so we strongly encourage you to utilize their assistance, whether you are just starting to draft your statement or want feedback on a complete draft.
