    35. The Power of Repeat Word Modifiers in Writing Personal Statements

    In this epsiode,  Dr. Myers Hurt shares a writing tip for using repeat word modifiers in sentence structures to make writing more impactful, using personal statements as examples. This technique involves repeating a key word in a sentence to emphasize its importance and create a sense of anticipation for the reader. The host attributes the concept to a book by Michael Deegan and offers two examples to illustrate the power of the repeat word modifier. For more personal statement tips, visit www.drmyershurt.com

    34. Can Chat GPT or Other AI's write your personal statement for you?

    In this episode, I review my experience using Chat GPT to generate personal statements for radiology and neurosurgery. I share some of the generated content and my thoughts on it, as well as how I plan to use it to structure my own personal statements. While some of the generated content was a bit dry and repetitive, I found it helpful in identifying themes and ideas to include in my own writing. Overall, I think Chat GPT is a powerful tool that can be used to jumpstart the writing process, but it still requires some polishing and personalization.  If you are in the middle of writing a personal statement, I highly suggest downloading my free personal statement guide jam packed full of amazing tips for writing personal statements.
