You may like it but you need to rewrite it. You should have improved since that time. Do not look at your old one. Write a new one.

Did you get in last time? No. So you need a new application this time. That includes PS.

ON the contrary, it depends. Let's say the OP got 9 interviews and no acceptances. Should he rewrite his personal statement and experiences then? I wouldn't as those things appeared to be fine the first time around. The bigger issue may have been his inability to interview. Hence, we need more information before we can say he should tweak his personal statement.

Fair enough. OP?

Probably should still rewrite it to try to limit thr amount of schools who reread his application and go "oh wait this is the guy who sucked in his interviews"

Content can remain the same but schools often have access to old applications so it would look lazy if you left it untouched. Bad news is that nobody really knows how often this happens, but good news is that if you got 4 IIs the content itself is likely not an issue thus a revamp is indeed the best option.

Agreed, i would go with a revamp. Change a couple of things and move on.

I applied to 12 schools and received 4 interviews, 3 of which turned into waitlists and the 4th was a rejection.

3 of my interviews fell very late in the cycle (all waitlists), so I'm assuming that is partially my reasoning for being waitlisted. I did receive high praise from one of my interviewers. He had actually written down a few quotes from it he wanted to share with me because he enjoyed it so much. I think I have decided my best course of action is to maybe not rewrite it, but rather revamp it. Maybe remove a story or two and replace it with some story from an improvement to my application.

Make sure to apply early this time around
