How important is it to significantly rewrite the personal statement? Do schools keep track of last year personal statement? There really isn't anything significant that I've done in the past year that I can sell. The only difference is that I am applying on time this year. (I am hoping to improve my 29 MCAT in August but applying on time is the main thing). I just don't want the admissions committee to instantly reject me because they feel like I didnt change the words to my personal statement significantly. Do you guys think I should completely rewrite it? Thanks!!
