personal statement

Hello all, I know that this is quite early for personal statement feedback from someone applying next cycle but I wrote it to give it to my LOR writers. Figured might as well use some feedback and what you guys get out of it as well. Would anyone be willing to read my personal statement...

Anyone willing to read my personal statement and provide some comments?

I'm struggling to see where I keep telling rather than showing. Aside from family, two readers have told me that my personal statement is not showing enough. I was advised to make my essay warmer and more telling of my character. If anyone wants to read my essay and tell me where I am lacking...

Hi all! I know I ask a lot of questions regarding the personal statement, but I finally finished it a few weeks back. I'm having difficulty, however with getting it reviewed. I want to make sure it's perfect but so far I only have a close friend who will review it, which I'm still waiting on. I...

Hey guys, new to SDN, not really sure how these threads or anything work, but I'm looking for someone who has (preferably, extensive) experience with personal statements to help me tear mine apart. I'm on my 5th draft and I need a new set of eyes. I feel like it's almost there, but not quiteee...

Hello all, This is my 2rd time applying and I am struggling to write my personal statement. I was wondering if someone can share their PS so I can get an idea of how other PS look like.

Especially on shorter secondaries. Do you guys like them? Or do you often end up rolling your eyes at them? I sort of just want to get straight to the point with my secondaries, but I get that may not be super engaging or enjoyable to read.

I was wondering if anyone would like to read my personal statement and give me feedback? I feel like I'm a little stuck and any feedback would definitely be appreciated!!

So in my PS, I had written "I am confident that my with my work ethic I will bring nothing but positivity....." and submitted. I had four different people look over it and I guess nobody caught it. I've spoken to many people and they've told me not to worry about it. Is this a concern?

So I'm trying not to panic... But I submitted my AMCAS and only included one "return", rather than two, between each paragraph. When printing the PDF, there was a small gap between paragraphs which makes it readable, so I figured that approach was fine. But the plain text makes it one block of...

Hi! I am turning in my application by the end of the week, and was wondering if anyone could read my personal statement. Its a VERY rough draft, but it's a little too long and I'm not sure what I should cut out or change. Thank you all!
