I wrote my personal statement using like 3 different stories. I feel like I cannot write about 1 activity in detail. I'm wondering if I use many different experiences. I want it be personal, and not bland. What style should I use? I had my own medical struggles and helped others. Any advice for me?
 
you should definitely talk about multiple experiences and highlight how they've brought you to medicine as well as how they'll help you as a physician down the road... using only one story or experience in your PS to create a compelling story is difficult. One thing to consider though is make sure the experiences you're using draws on a common theme or idea rather than being stand alone experiences
