• Your reasons are specific to this specialtyMotivation built on traits any field could claim tells the reader nothing about this choice.
• Every trait is shown through a specific momentAdjectives about yourself should be earned by a scene, not asserted.
• It does not restate your CVAnything already itemised in your application should appear here only for what it changed in you.
• Your goals after training are concretePrograms read this as a fit signal, so vague ambition costs you.
