Hey everyone,

So about a month ago I drafted a personal statement that I thought in the moment was a decent one and sent it to my professors and dentist so that they can go ahead and begin writing their recommendations.

After a couple weeks or so I realized it was not at all how I wanted to portray my dental journey and so I scraped it entirely and wrote a completely new one.

In that time my two professors and dentist went ahead and submitted their recs, so I cannot change anything at this point.

Both my professors and dentist know me well enough that I dont think they changing my PS would change their recs much but im a bit worried about whether or not this will be consistent?

Is there anything I can do at this point?
 
I sent them a very rough draft of my statement when they were getting ready to write my letters and it was mainly to get more information on my journey to dentistry. I changed so much of my statement but it wasnt an issue as long as their letters are strong
