Hello,
I was a nontraditional URM and I was accepted into the 2018 class, I'll be starting at BUSM this August. I was reading personal statements for a few weeks, though I'm taking a break for now for vacation/work. Though, I've posted some tips I've learned over time on my blog:
Tips on the first draft of your PS
http://doctororbust.wordpress.com/2014/03/11/personal-statement-how-to-get-that-first-draft-6-simple-rules/
Tips on forming your PS narrative
http://doctororbust.wordpress.com/2014/04/14/framing-your-narrative/
Extra Tips about the PS, from feedback I gave to writers I critiqued
http://doctororbust.wordpress.com/2014/05/19/medschool-personal-statement-critiques-lessons-learned/
My own personal statement *not a perfect example, but this is what a finalized draft feels like*
http://doctororbust.wordpress.com/2014/05/17/my-medschool-personal-statement/
Good luck to you all!
If you have any questions, and I'm taking forever to reply to you then find me on Twitter as I don't frequent SDN much @doctororbust
Drop a line, I may be reading drafts again next week, the schedule/updates will be posted on my blog (linked above).
