Anyone want to read a PS?

Members don't see this ad.

As I wrote in an earlier post, I have to write a personal statement for a medical-type internship. This is the first PS I've had to write since entering college, so I could use some help.

I plan to finish the first draft today (it only has to be one page, single-spaced), and I was wondering if any of you would like to read and critique it (constructively!).

My main concern right now is whether to "tell a story," as odelay told me he did, or to write a more general essay, as a friend of mine says he did. I think I'll start with the former, since if I find my own general essay boring, how can I expect an admissions officer to like it?

If anyone would be willing to read and comment (privately) on my hopefully-soon-to-be-finished first draft, please post or pm me!

Thanks! 🙂

I'm a bit busy but if nobody responds to you, feel free to email it to me. I will make the comments using Track Changes feature and email it back to you within 48 hours.

Use me as a last resort because I have my hands full right now, but am willing to help if nobody replies back. Good luck!

thanks, guys, I've gotten several responses, so that may be all the criticism I will be able to handle! I will finish my essay as soon as possible, and email it to all who asked. But first I have to get off this board so I can write it! 😀

Wow, I hope I will be able to get the same response when I start writing my AMCAS PS 🙂

Ask and you shall receive!

Early on in this app cycle (July-August-September) there was a bunch of people who volunteered. SDNers generally rock.

Hi, I just wanted to let you know that I've started a message board today for just this kind of thing, related to my website. Here it is. It's kind of meant to be a place for people to post and respond to each other's personal statements, either on the board or through private messages, and to get advise on personal statements in general. Just seemed like there was a need to be filled...

Thanks for the love! X Rated O'Chem is still there, but I haven't written since E1-E2, or How to Make a Lesbian. On the advise of a few of my friends, I'm getting the copyright for it worked out which should happen as soon as I get my next paycheck, 🙄 , and then I'll write more.

I'm glad you like the message board. It's kind of ******ed (cause it's free), but it seems like it could be of some use to someone.
