Would really like a non bias and brutally honest person to read over my personal statement. Any takers? I can PM or email...

I'll take a look, but I will almost certainly tear it to shreds as I have done for almost 5 years of premeds now.

I'm glad I spent the time distilling my reasons for pursuing this profession, but I spent way too much time on the personal statement. Hope you don't make the same mistake.

As this article makes clear, most of them are impersonal and interchangeable, which is a sad result of the nature of the game which I think rewards timidity and is too suspicious of creativity.

Would any of those who offered previously be willing to read a draft I have now?

I haven't offered previously but I would be willing to read your draft now. I'm a non-trad pre-med with a degree in English from a top 20.
