Hi guys. I'm having a difficult time trying to cut my personal statement down to 3000 characters. I could barely limit my AMCAS ps to 5300. When I try to cut out parts it just doesnt make sense. Should I just start over and write an entirely new ps. I was wondering if anyone could take a look at it and offer any suggestions.

Also I was wondering how you guys entered your ecs, did you just list them and did you have to give an explanation like in the AMCAS application.

Thanks for any help you can give me. You guys are wonderful 🙂

Good Luck to everyone!! :luck:

I'm having similar problems. I'm trying to cut my AMCAS PS down as much as possible while including some stuff relating to the DO philosophy, but I'm really concerned that the adcoms will just see it as paying them lip service.

I'm also wondering about the EC's. Thanks guys. 😀
 
If you're haveing that much trouble, then you're probably not being as concise as you could be. Check out the sample med essays on www.accepted.com and see how they organize their essays and what they do/do not include. If you want more help, you can PM me. Good luck.
