I am planning on submitting my AMCAS soon, and I just had a few questions in regards to the PS. Last year I interviewed at 7 schools and received 2 rejections and 5 waitlists. After talking to one of the medical schools that rejected me, I think it is pretty clear that the interview sank my application. I was told by the Dean that I wasn't very enthusiastic and it seemed like I didn't really want a spot at that particular school. As someone who is very serious, I guess I was too stubborn through the course of the application cycle to realize that my expressions can come off as uninterested (and even a tad arrogant, depending on how the interviewer perceives it).
Regardless, I've finally become content that I'm going to have to reapply. It has taken me a lot of energy to get to this point, because the entire process is so grueling and I felt like I just needed to take a breath from the last cycle before diving into this one. Since my application granted me 7 interviews out of the 13 applications I completed, I was wondering if I should make substantial changes to my PS? I revised a few paragraphs to emphasize certain motivations, but that's about all I've done. Advice?
