So this past cycle I had to take the MCAT (32N) in Sept. so I didn't even complete secondaries until late Oct or Nov.. Out of 12 schools I still got 2 interviews and I'm waitlisted right now at my top choice (Tufts). I'm wondering if minor edits to my PS are enough considering that what hurt me the most last time was applying late. I plan to talk about what I did in the interim in my secondaries and interviews (700 hours as an EMT volunteer and started a medical practice web design and online services company).
The theme of my PS was how I turned around from getting a 2.8 gpa 1st year and dealing with my parent's divorce, to getting 3.6 next 3 years and how active and focused I became. Therefore I really want to keep most of my old PS to explain my 3.4 gpa. I spent over a month on my PS last year and had 3 friends continually helping me edit it. I plan to apply June 4th this year so if I need to rewrite then I really need to get moving. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
