Hello,
I have posted in this forum from time to time, but I think I need a throwaway account for this post.
I feel upset because I have started working on my personal statement relatively early but have went to over 10 versions trying to find the perfect angle. I avoided making an essay about my extracurricular activities and instead focused on anecdotes, but I ended up having so many anecdotes and every version was around 10,000 characthers. I ultimately chose one version that I thought was okay, pruned out all the unnecessary fluff including the "hook", and got straight to the point. Now I worry if it is too bland, too frank and honest, or too illogical.
The topic is a touchy, at least for me, so I avoided having other eyes read it for quite a while but I think I really need some help. I wrote about my status as a DACA student, health disparities, and the two "why doctor and why you" questions. In addition to that, I tried my best to explain my nontraditional status in the must brief way possible.
Would anyone mind taking a look at my personal statement?
P.S. Sorry if these types of threads are not allowed. I have already looked at the 2016-2017 reader list, but a lot of those readers have their profile views disabled.
