AADSAS Reapplicant questions.. Help?

[JCLewis90]

Ok, so I didn't get accepted to dental school this year and I'm looking to reapply. To reapply, I need to get Letters of Recommendation resubmitted and my Personal Response essay resubmitted. So.. Should I write a completely different Personal Response essay? I felt like mine was pretty good in my last application, but I wasn't sure if I should write a completely new one anyway. I know I need to update it with my recent shadowing/work experience. I would really appreciate any advice! Any other advice on reapplying is also greatly appreciated! Thanks

you don't need to rewrite your entire personal statement. just update it with things that you've been doing since you last applied.

when you re apply, most of your application will be saved so you can change anything you need to

You may be surprised how much better your statement can be, I totally rewrote mine the last time and was glad that I did. Also try volunteering and/or shadowing a little more to add to your application, the more improvement the better.
