I applied last cycle but my personal statement was very strong and I dont want to completely scratch it for this cycle. Do you think it would hurt me to just edit it and add in some new experiences I have done? I have raised my mcat substantially and have increased my GPA as well. I also have new experiences that I am adding in.

I applied last cycle but knew I wasn’t going to be accepted. I was advised to submit my application as soon as possible even if I didn’t have my mcat score back (I know I feel so stupid now) so when I received my mcat is was much lower than anticipated and I would not have applied if I hadn’t already submitted. I did not receive an interview nor was I expecting to. My personal statement was very strong and I dont want to completely scratch it for this cycle. Do you think it would hurt me to just edit it and add in some new experiences I have done? I have raised my mcat substantially and have increased my GPA as well. I also have new experiences that I am adding in.

Definitely edit your PS to make it fresh. Dont necessarily need to scrap it and start over, however it wouldnt hurt to try a rewrite and see of you can come up with something better (you may be surprised that in one year you have a different story you want to tell). Also as a reapp, dont fall into the trap of thinking your first PS was good. Have other people read it and be critical of yourself. Feel free to DM me and I can look it over.

I am working on editing the first one, can I send you both when I am done for comparison?
