Wondering if there's anyone that wouldn't mind reading my current personal statement and giving me some feedback? I'm currently at 5500ish characters and unsure how to whittle it down further.
 
There's been threads previously of people who said they would read personal statements and people who needed their personal statements read. I'm not sure if a mod needs to make that thread for the C/O 2030 or if we should continue to use the previous thread OR make a new one. @supershorty thoughts on a personal statement readers thread? can we make our own or to conserve space should we use the previous one?

We typically start a new one for each cycle since the people who are able to do it vary from year to year. It doesn't have to be started by me though.

With VMCAS opening earlier and earlier and now overlapping significantly with the previous year's cycle, I'm still trying to decide when the optimal time for making all of the threads for this next cycle is. I'll probably start working on it this week, but you're welcome to start a personal statements thread for c/o 2030 if you want to before I get to it. Just tag me so that then I can make sure I sticky it when I do the other threads 🙂

thanks shorty! I won't create a new one, I don't want to make you combine threads haha.
