Hi everyone,

I'm currently applying to medical school and finished an early rough draft of my personal statement. I was hoping if some people (preferably people in medical school/ accepted to a medical school) could read my personal statement and give me useful feedback. Thank you!

Have you tried the personal statement reader thread at:

*~*~*~*Official Personal Statement Guide and Reader List 2019-2020*~*~*~*

This thread is for this year's applicants who are beginning to work on their personal statements. If you're looking for someone to read your PS, check out the list of volunteers below In the most recent post ONLY!! Link to last years Personal Statement Reader thread HERE. If you are willing...

I would also recommend the multiple guides on personal statements, (if you haven't read through those already). Those threads usually cover 95%+ of mistakes that people make. In general, it's better to send something beyond an "early rough draft", not just as a courtesy to the volunteer readers, but also to help you get actually useful and personalized feedback beyond things that are covered in generic personal statement guides.

Seconded. This is why I made my own PS advice thread - because it covered around 90% of the advice I gave to first drafts. If you send a first draft to a PS guide reader...You may not get a response because the repetitious nature of comments is extraordinarily tedious.

Also, what @Moko posted is the DO reader list. Here is the MD reader list:

Both are adequate. Just more available to you.
